Rodarte Spring 2010 Collection

At first I was a little disappointed with Laura and Kate Mulleavy’s Spring 2010 collection for Rodarte because the first shown pieces were way too messy and grungy for my liking and I couldn’t shake the thought of picturing homeless people in these clothes – an association I really wasn’t feeling good with.

But halfway through the show, the interesting pieces started to pour in and I was astounded at how much I’ve gone through love and hate with the whole collection. My personal favorites were the black pieces which were shown in the last third of the show. Typical Rodarte with a new twist! The collection’s leitmotif was “scarred and still beautiful” and I think this pretty much sums it up. The Rodarte sisters have once more done a great job – at least for half of the collection. What do you think of it? You can view the whole collection here.

2009 CFDA Awards – Red Carpet Fashion

Kirsten Dunst

Rating: ★★★★☆

Kirsten Dunst made a rare public appearance to support her favorite red carpet designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte. Dunst is a devoted fan of Rodarte’s outstanding designs and have worn them multiple times on the red carpet.

The actress looked stunning in a silvery draped mini dress from the current Fall 2009 collection. Kirsten paired her dress with grey Nicholas Kirkwood heels which did not quite work for me with the dress. However Kirsten’s makeup was flawless and the sultry smokey eyes completed her ethereal look.

Diane Kruger

Rating: ★★★★☆

I am waiting for Diane Kruger to have a bad day on the red carpet. While I might not always approve of her off duty style, I admit that every time she puts a foot on the red carpet it’s guaranteed to become an instant jaw dropper. Diane looked impeccable as usual in a modified Jason Wu Fall 2009 red mini dress which had a black belt and black embroidered shoulders. Matching black t-strap Roger Vivier sandals and a stunning clutch (also Roger Vivier) completed Diane’s look.

Zoe Saldana

Rating: ★★★★☆

I am developing a rather unhealthy girl crush on Zoe Saldana. Ever since she stepped out on the red carpet to promote Star Trek, I’ve been taken by her effortless beauty and radiant smile. And her outstanding fashion choices, of course! Zoe continues to wow me in this grey sheer off-the-shoulder dress from Calvin Klein’s recent Resort 2010 collection.

Kate Bosworth wearing a nude Rodarte Spring 2009 knit dress

Rating: ★★★★★

Perfection! Kate Bosworth hosted a private dinner party for the Rodarte sisters, Laura and Kate Mulleavy, which took place at Harvey Nichols in London yesterday. The actress looked breathtakingly beautiful in a nude creation from the Spring 2009 collection. The dress had a pleated leather skirt, a sheer knit bodice and separate sleeves. Her soft makeup and the matching accessories were the icing on the cake.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Kate and the Rodarte girls. Seeing them together so perfectly combined makes me swoon!

Rating: ★★★★★

Emma Watson was just as stunning in her own Rodarte number which was a black and blue draped dress also the Spring 2009 collection. I just wished she would’ve worn the kickass Nicholas Kirkwood runway heels as I think they would’ve worked better than her two-tone Chanel Spring 2009 Couture platforms.

Iman

Rating: ★★★★★

The age-defying Iman attended the gala in a modified champagne-colored strapless Donna Karan Resort 2009 dress putting ALL her younger colleagues to shame. She truly is a muse. To me and to all the other women hoping to look just half as good as she does when we hit her age. Iman got the best genes EVER!

Rating: ★★★★½

Claudia Schiffer was the hottest supermodel on the red carpet last night. Claudia wore a black semi-sheer Atelier Versace Spring 2009 origami-folded dress and looked fantastic in it. I kind of never understood why she was so hyped as a supermodel, but seeing her in that Versace dress now I definitely can.

Rating: ★★★★½

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Miranda Kerr looked amazing in her uber-sexy black fringed Jil Sander dress and I think she was one of the best models in attendance even though she is not a high fashion model like a lot of the other models who were there, but that fills my heart with even more joy because Miranda seems like such a nice person and I think she totally deserved the attention.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Jessica Stam went for a short Rodarte Fall 2009 metallic mini dress and I loved it! Her dress has been modified from the runway version and instead of the thigh-high leather boots, Jessica opted for matching metallic sandals.

Dasha Zhukova wearing a white and lilac Rodarte Spring 2009 halter dress

Rating: ★★★★½

Dasha Zhukova, one of the founders of Kova & T and new Editor-in-Chief of Pop, attended the Exhibition Fetish by David Lynch & Christian Louboutin looking outstanding in a white and lilac Rodarte Spring 2009 dress. Dasha completed her look with a black cropped leather jacket, a printed large clutch and fancy silver Louboutin pumps.

I love Rodarte, especially their Spring 2009 collection, and always get excited when I see their designs on the red carpet. Dasha is beautiful and pulls it off with ease. Kudos to her; looking good AND confident in Rodarte is not that easy (Keira Knightley and Tilda Swinton are some of the very few who can make Rodarte’s exceptional designs work off the runway). Love it!
