Rodarte's Star Wars

It's New York Fashion week and Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte took once again to cinematic inspiration for their Fall 2014 RTW collection, this time around with the film Star Wars.

In 2011, Rodarte presented a stunning collection with inspiration from the Film "Days of Heaven" (you can see my blog post here) symbolized mainly with the film's beautiful art direction focused in the sun-drenched hues of rural vistas. They combined the color story from the film with some prints from Vincent van Gogh and the effect was remarkable.

For  Fall 2014, the Star Wars reference is more of a "hey look everyone, its Star Wars!" than a reference. It doesn't seem that Star Wars was the general theme of this collection in terms of color palette or silhouette - in fact, the huge prints of Luke Skywalker, Yoda, the Deathstar, C-3PO  and the double suns of Tatooine were presented as the last pieces down the runway. I love Star Wars and always enjoy a good reference or pun, but I am left wondering what these pieces held in common with the rest of the collection.
