Rodarte Channels Australia In Fall Show for New York Fashion Week

In the last decade, the New York fashion industry saw an explosion of young designers with significant potential. But in the past few seasons, a lot of the excitement surrounding that next generation has fizzled. Their edge has dulled. The freshness has worn off. The tough realities of the fashion business have set in.audemarspiguetreplica
But the two sisters behind the Rodarte label are the rare young designers who continue to surprise and dazzle. They did just that with a fall 2012 collection inspired by Australia.
Most of those in the much ballyhooed group of new American womenswear designers were young men intent on dressing the next generation of socialites or the next batch of night crawlers. Some of those young men lost their way, unable to settle on a point of view that defined their aesthetic. Others have quietly built nice businesses by creating pleasantly contemporary clothes while leaving inventiveness and excitement to others. And a few seem to have aged prematurely, creating desultory collections that seem suited for women who view the starched style of Callista Gingrich as worth aspiring to.But Kate and Laura Mulleavy, self-taught sisters from California, always stood apart. tagheuerreplica They were obsessed with the techniques of design, but not flamboyant in their use of them. Their work was feminine but not precious, tough but without hard edges. And they were not boring realists looking to dress women for their offices, grocery store trips or soccer coach duties. At times, their work has been positively inscrutable and wholly impractical. And they ve had no problem putting their young models up on treacherous heels and commanding them to walk with confidence a tactic that should really not be applauded.
