Rodarte

This was hardly the typical young designer collection one is used to seeing in New York.

Sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy delivered an ethereal delight that had more than a trace of Parisian-type drama, this time inspired by Gainsborough-painted muses and the Huntington Gardens’ pink camellias.

Again, the magic lay in the details — their signature pinked waves flirting across everything, rosettes hidden in sheer belled sleeves, those immaculate hand-stitches.

Wearability was secondary here, replaced by the idea of dressing for a very big, very grand event.
