SS08 Sunday

 Rodarte SS08 Backstage/ Stunning

PEPLUMlove

Jason Wu, Rodarte, Thakoon, Vera Wang and YSL

One of my favourite micro trend from the SS12 catwalk was the Peplum. We have seen a good few through our SS12 buys, but I have seen nothing to be bounced back by the highstreet? I love the cute, sophisticated easily converted shape, that can instantly transform an outfit. I am surprised at their uncharacteristic delayed reaction to such a easy to rip off trend.

Rodarte take two @ Opening Ceremony

Rodarte At Opening Ceremony Season II

The peekaboo shoulders, apron-like layers, engrossing prints and ghostly/Gothic references that we loved in past collections all appear. Some of the designs hew remarkably closely to their runway parents, except that with all that expensive embellishment pared away, they might be more wearable than the originals.

too cool for fashion...

Rotarte for Opening Cermony....to say that I want every piece in this collection is a given, to state that this colabouration is possibly one of the coolest in fashion is a fact. Opening Cermony have long been one of the coolest untouchable US brands and the designer duo sisters Rodarte, have proven themselves with hits on the catwalk season after season. In their second capsule collection with the label, Rotarte have delivered a mens and womenswear collection. The collection that will solely retail in the UK at Dover Street Market from March 15th, is a sure sell out. Featured below the psycodelic colour saturate lookbook screams youth, fun and some seriously cool outfits.

RODARTE's/ Black Swan

The 'Black Swan', Darren Aronofsky's horror-tinged thriller about the rivalry between two ballerinas, the eyes of the fashion world were eager to get a first glimpse of the costumes (our office are off to see it next wednesday) The costumes have been created by hot fashion design duo, the Mulleavy sisters.

Kate and Laura Mulleavy's label Rodarte is one of the most sought-after tickets at New York Fashion Week, earning them a significant celebrity following with Kirsten Dunst, Dasha Zhukova and Natalie Portman among their most loyal supporters.
