Spring 2012: a Reverie Part II - RODARTE

I'm always excited to see what the Mulleavy sisters are up to. Whether it be their use of exoskeletal elements, punk attitude or beautifully crafted laces and knits, I find their vision unique and inspiring.

The Rodarte color palette for Spring 2012 consists of sublimely faded yellows and blues. As the sisters were inspired last season by the film "Days of Heaven", evinced by their subtle corn-husked hued lace delicacies - they expanded on this color scheme with prints and color stories of Vincent van Gogh paintings.

The tailoring in this Spring's collection felt so feminine and mature to me. The sense of proportion and refinery seen here reminds me of the timeless elegance personified by Oscar de la Renta! And if there's anyone in fashion worth emulating, it's gotta be Oscar.

As always, looking forward to what the Mulleavys propose for next Fall!
