Rodarte Fall 2010 Collection | Up Close Preview
Rodarte are creating some of the most outstanding garments of our time. The shear detail is enough to hang on your wall for a lifetime. I love the way their dresses can merge the lines between ugly and dishevelled and yet still remain whimsical and feminine not to mention ultra luxurious.
During a road trip from El Paso to Marfa, Texas, Rodarte’s designers and sister Kate and Laura Mulleavy, got inspired to look to their own Mexican roots for inspiration. Coming up with a mix of the city’s topography and stories of its maquiladora workers leaving their homes in the middle of the night to work the graveyard shift to resonate into their garments, their Fall 2010 collection turns romantic with the notion of sleepwalking thrown into the mix. Draped dresses in soft creams and reds with soft florals, white knits and fringing details are ‘lead by the light of a “candle lit” shoe’ soon to be one of the season’s best and most lust after.
Opening Ceremony got to have an up close and personal look through the new Fall 2010 collection with the girls behind the Rodarte dream.
