Rodarte

It seems only right to write about the latest Rodarte show on a day veiled in sunshine, as their inspiration for the collection was the Golden Hour, as seen on the Great Plains. The Golden Hour is a time of day that has a reputation with photographers as being the perfect time to shoot. When shooting Days of Heaven, Terrence Malick would supposedly only shoot during the Golden Hour, as the sky gave off a spectacular glow at that time. The film was obviously a reference point for Kate and Laura Mulleavy, lending a prairie feel to the collection. Their interest in the movement of the sun across the sky led to the various colors of the collection almost blending. Floor-length coats over equally long dresses were a constant, managing to look beautifully trim as opposed to excessively modest. Wheat filed prints danced around the hems of dresses and two-piece pinafores looked unusually lovely. This was Rodarte as soft as I can remember, but no less dreamy. Speaking of dreams, two fabulous ruby red looks jolted the collection, a reference to The Wizard of Oz. The last two dresses appeared as a storm, followed by a tornado, wrapping up the collection in a frenzied fit of drapery and a touch of humor. While this collection is perhaps less boundary-pushing than those that have come before, it still takes you somewhere and it's not a place you can get to by a boat or train...
