This season, Pamella Roland combined her Resort and Holiday collections into one, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Held at Bulgari’s newly renovated flagshipon 5th Ave, every look was perfectly adorned with the jewels. From the cobalt-blue, jacquard, off-the-shoulder mermaid gown — layered with a sapphire statement necklace — to the short cocktail dress embellished with pink ostrich feathers, every woman could find her dress to steal the room in.
Veering away from a traditional Resort or Holiday collection, Roland stuck to what she knows best: the dramatics of embellishment, and shine of gorgeous gowns with great cuts and silhouettes. The colors were clearly inspired by her travels to the Bahamas, mixed in with cranberry and emerald greens that are a sure winner during the holidays.
The hero piece was a fresh new take on a classic tulle dress. The triple-layered skirt created an ombre effect in a way that reminds one of a melting sunset. The bodice’s fabric manipulation makes you stop and appreciate the piece in ways you couldn’t imagine.
Mixing it up with some sharply tailored pants, jackets, and even a beaded corset, Rolland is delivering looks that show the evolution of Pamella Roland, going from an eveningwear company to a brand that truly delivers a look for any occasion in which a woman wants to steal the spotlight comfortably.

I don’t think there’s prettier water than in the Bahamas. And then we just started thinking Holiday, and this cranberry color came in perfectly.
