Style classics: King of the dress is back! Roland Mouret launches new dress set to give his iconic galaxy style a run for its money
His Galaxy dress was named the ‘dress of the decade’, but after a few years out of the glare of the spotlight, Roland Mouret is back and ready to give his own iconic number a run for it’s money.
Already favoured by celebrities with a taste for exquisitely-cut red carpet gowns, the London-based designer went stellar in spring 2006 with the launch of his now legendary frock.
The knee-length, wasp-waisted Galaxy managed to perform miracles — creating curves for waifs with none, and flattering those with ampler assets.
Figure hugging: His designs - notably the galaxy as seen on Carol Vorderman (L) and gown he made for Naomi Watts (R) - still hug and skim in all the right places
After everyone from Victoria Beckham to Carol Vorderman was photographed in it, the figure-hugging frock became a worldwide sell-out, despite the £1,000 price tag.
But just a few months after the Galaxy dress hit the catwalks, Roland parted company with his financial backers — and his eponymous label.

He has since returned to collaborate with Gap and Victoria Beckham, and work on his new label, RM.
His latest designs — notably the gown he made for Naomi Watts earlier this month — still hug and skim in all the right places.
