Trashy Sequins. Rodarte AW15

 

_A2X0433

Mulleavy sisters got trashy for AW15. A lot. Rodarte woman is flirty, sultry and sexy – she loves opulence, wears leather minis and reminds us a Hedi Slimane / Saint Laurent chick. I am a fan of Rodarte since their spicy beginnings – but this collection seems to be a bit… too much? The last looks remind me of dresses, which HAD to be beautiful, but somebody unfortunately overdid themselves and created a pile of sticked up feathers, sequins, glitter and Swarovski cystalised stones. That’s, surely, not my taste. Possibly, Rodarte wanted to make a parody out of kitsch-dressed women – if that was their aim, then they really nailed it. But if their aim was to “create” something fanastic… then sorry, we don’t need that. We’ve got Hedi Slimane who’s doing vulgar chic at YSL. Let the real Rodarte spirit come back.

Punk. Rodarte SS15

1089076

Kate and Laura Mulleavy came back to their extraordinary roots, where punk and spirit plays a role! For Summer, the sisters did a major work. Their concept? Bring everything, that Rodarte woman is made of. Embroidery. Serenity. Punk. Piercing? Yes. The metallic half circles were glued to model’s eyebrows, to make a big statement in NYFW’s beauty. If talking of the clothes, we had every Rodarte girl- from the Harley Davidson gang, up to a sea siren and the downton NY babe. I am simply stunned with all of that! It simply takes all the words away. Simply see those Lea Colombo photographs from backstage.
