Rock and Republic A/W 08

New York Fashion week went all black and moody as Rock a Republic's latest collection hit the catwalk.

A full orchestra and baby grand piano played 1970s rock and roll as models headed down the catwalk in a sophisticated, 'don't mess with me or I'll shoot you' fall collection.

Sleek suits and sexy tailored dresses all in black were teamed with fedoras and trenchcoats for the ultimate Mafia look.

Double-breated jackets and wide-legged trousers exuded powere while plunging V necks and low slung waist bands gave the gangster suit a contemporary feminine twist.

The only break from the black was a falsh of purple for evening wear. A sexy purple satin dress was slashed open at the front for the modern day gangster's moll.

Celebrity fans adorned the front row to check out the Rock and Republic autumn/winter offerings including Joss Stone, Christina Milian and Tyson Beckford.
