Rodarte x Rialto Pictures ‘Breathless’ T-Shirts

Everyone knows that the girls behind Rodarte, Kate and Laura Mulleavy, are heavy film buffs, taking vast amounts of inspirations from cinema costume and scripts into their very well received Rodarte collections. So it is of no surprise that they are now designing a line of tees in collaboration with Rialto Pictures to celebrate the 50th anniversary and rerelease of the French film ‘Breathless’.

Selling the two, new Rodarte t-shirt designs as well as hosting feature windows designed by the Mulleavy sisters, Barneys New York will be celebrating Breathless‘ anniversary in style.

“[Luc Godard] reformulated the visual language through which stories are told,” Laura Mulleavy said. “He is a renegade. In ‘Breathless,’ he broke all of the rules and formulas within the lexicon of film. His use of wordplay, his interest in time, and his ability to translate stream-of-consciousness writing to images was groundbreaking.”

Kate adding “We have been influenced by Godard’s rejection of the status quo and have approached our work with the same desire to create outside preexisting boundaries.”

One of the tees will feature the “New York Herald Tribune” logo that was displayed prominently on a shirt from the original film, will go on sale this spring at Barney’s New York, and abroad at Colette and Dover Street Market, which we are most excited about!
