RODARTE N.Y 2015

Rodarte Fall Winter 2015 New YorkThe Fashion designer Kate and Laura Mulleavy sisters turned to the beauty of birds and their poetic migration patterns to inspire their romantic yet rock and roll creations.

As the rock star sang their 70’s classic “Run to Me” and the models appeared like shimmering sequined-covered exotic birds of paradise to close out the show, this collection reached its lyrical climax.

Actually, it’s not quite fair to say that the Mulleavys didn’t acknowledge the disco debt: Laura owned up to it after a bit of prodding, saying that her and Kate’s interest in birds had guided them toward the disco theme.

Once again proving that Rodarte is a brand that dreams big and dares even bigger.

There were a few stumbles — quite literally as the final model tried to make her way up and down the runway in her gold full-length ruffled dress, but no stumbles for Sophie, who for a long time has been considered as a very promising designer. She successfully combines a Spain trip with a France 1950’s and, thus, reinvents the casual chic.

It is always extraordinary that such French fashion designers have to go abroad to be recognised. This is surely due, still the same problem, a lack of professionalism and agoraphobia from the people who lead the Federation or institutions governing fashion in France!!!

Anyway, at Canal-Luxe group, we will be delighted to report on you if you come to present your collection. We will put at your disposal our Continue reading
