Stéphane Rolland has kicked off the Haute Couture season Autumn-Winter 2009/10 fashion shows in Paris.

A winter in the desert, inspired by sand and waves formed by the wind against the dunes. The colours are soft - white, pearl gray and camel, but nonetheless the collection is all about volume.

The materials are embossed, with embroidery patches of cashmere, resembling a collection of pebbles and the shoulders are accentuated, drawing our attention to the shape of the line.
