Usually I am not very impressed with Rodarte, but I was surprised to see that this show was actually very nice. Minus a few hideous prom dresses at the end, there was a lovely mix of colours, textures, and fabrics in unusual, but not overly weird shapes. But I would probably retract all of these compliments if I saw the price tags. When I did that comparison of Rodarte prices to Lanvin prices, I found that four Rodarte pieces were equal to nineteen of Lanvin’s pieces. None of these dresses look like they are worth that.
I love…
a strange Rodarte fabric but without an ugly Rodarte silhouette.
space age shoulders.
Van Gogh's sunflowers. But are they trying to make themselves out as tortured artists? Because if they are, that is terribly lame.
this two-toned sweater.
the contrast of the shiny gathered blue fabric and the soft, sheer green skirt.
I loathe…
an ugly prom dress gone that looks like its been dragged out of the trash.
