Since taking over as Rag & Bone’s Chief Merchandising & Design Officer last year, Jennie McCormick has been working to strengthen the brand’s core principles. This season she introduced playful additions like sequins, hardware details and mixed-media embellishments to her range of great jeans and basic cardigans.
New York City has always been the heart and soul of Rag & Bone, but this season McCormick decided to leave the city behind. “The collection represents the city meeting the countryside,” said the designer. “It’s a real extension of the lifestyle: we’re showing more outerwear, but also things that can work as an alternative to traditional tailoring.”
Highlights from the collection included the label’s first real foray into eveningwear: a casual yet elegant slip-on dress made from viscose and metallic threads, which McCormick and team suggest styling with one of R&B’s bold studded leather belts . The crew-leg jeans received a real textural update with a quilted diamond jacquard pattern that added an element of dimension to the classic style. The 100% cotton Miramar jeans, which recently went viral on TikTok for their sweatpants-like look and feel, have inspired a whole new range; there is now a matching jacket and trousers made from the ultra-comfortable material.
