Jerome C. Rousseau is in town from Los Angeles for a few days, showing his fall 2010 collection out of Soho House in the Meatpacking District, and he dropped by Vogue so we could see what he’d been up to these past few months.
Plenty, by the look of things. The Québec-born designer, who has been
in business for three years, reeled off a list of influences that
suggests his Netflix queue is constantly being updated, and that Amazon
is always delivering to the door of his home in Beachwood Canyon:
“Vivienne Westwood, not so much the clothes, but the attitude . . . the
late seventies—I was looking at
70s Style and Design, which I’ve had on my coffee table for a while . . . Fritz Lang’s
Metropolis . . . the French actress
Roxane Mesquida—she
has that perfect look of having just got out of bed and decided to walk
along the Seine . . . am I talking too much?” No, not at all, but let’s
take a pause and look at the collection.
