Rodarte’s view on a fall collection is quite different from many other designers. When black and dark colors are dominating the catwalk and reflect the fall/winter for most fashion houses, Rodarte swings the other way, naturally. The show could as well have been a spring show with the pale and pastel flowered beginning to the snow white end of the story. The collection is daring, to say the least. I simply love all of the dresses and are happy to see that the signature Rodarte bandage style are still included and on show. The short silk chiffon creations we saw during their spring show are now in a longer model and instead of fitted, they are now loose. You say lazy, I say trend-setter!! This collection is not a copy of their last one with added material, folks. The spring show was dark and evil compared to this one and the newly found Mulleavy dreamworld. I am left confused but sizzling. The sisters explained the collection by telling it was a new way of exploring their Mexican roots and the idea of sleepwalking. As long as it’s this good, we don’t really need an explanation, do we? Patchwork are on show and they are playing around with chiffon, vintage lace, burnout velvet which are mixed together and then draped with even more fabric to leave us stunned, amazed, in love.
