Rachel Roy at the debut of her Spring 2007 collection during New York Fashion week.**Left to Right:** Francesca Long Reversible Jacket, $1095.00; Sarah Bow Dress, $1575.00; Tatiana Bloom Dress, $2013.00, all by Rachel Roy and available at www.shopbop.comI have been meaning to spotlight Ms. Roy for the longest time, but kept forgetting.
