“Concrete Jungle”

Gucci Bag – Reema Major

For some strange reason I didn’t like Rodarte at first, 30 mins later and replaying the runway video 4 times I did, in fact, liked the direction both sisters aproached for spring.

As for Marc Jacobs… well, expect the unexpected.

“Rodarte Spring 2012”

Rodarte. Rodarte. Rodarte. This was one of those collections where fashion meets art to it’s maximum level print-wise. The whole idea of using Vicent van Gogh’s paints as prints was pretty interesting since they took them and stamped them into un-conventional yet classic shapes reminiscent of the 50’s prom dresses (one thing I love) levitating down the runway. Then, according to Nicole Phelps, the Mulleavy sisters said that they were also inspired by Disney’s take on the classic fairy tale: “Sleeping Beauty”, a theme that was mostly abstract until Vlada Rolsyakova came out wearing a midnight blue enchanting evening dress with a black sheer tulle overlay embellished with crystals and when Karlie Kloss closed the show in an evening purple gown with a (yes sheer tulle overlays are THE thing) sheer tulle overlay fully embellished with crystals. Crystal pretty much adorned several looks, making the princess-y theme understandable even though it all made sense at the end of the collection. Color-wise the sisters used pretty much elaborated a color palette quoting van Gogh’s greens, purples, and yellow tones.

Not my favorite collection from Rodarte, but I like it, very beautiful collection.

With this post I finish posting my favorites from New York Fashion Week (MBFW).
