Rodarte Fall 2007

Californian sisters, Kate and Laura Mulleavy, know how to put the ‘F’ in fun and fashion. Rodarte, which they founded in 2005, is a marvelous fashion house that takes meticulous detailing to a whole new level. This collection effortlessly fuses eccentricity and elegance. The sisters joined forces with Swarovski to add some sparkle to their pieces. Meanwhile the brocade dresses, chiffon frills and fluffy hand-knits reminded me of Winters in rural England. The collection lacked cohesion for me, but if you take each piece individually you’ll really appreciate how talented these young ladies are.
