Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the design sisters of Rodarte, presented a collection that didn't allow doubt that spring has arrived. A strong color pallette of yellow, blue, green and purple and barely a hint of black.
Eric Wilson, of the New York Times, in his review of the show, writes about the extremely obvious Van Gogh inspired designs. Quite a literal translation that nearly brings up trademark issues. The collection featured prints and embroideries on dresses that were wrapped and pleated as well as on smock tops and ball gowns.
You can see what he means when viewing the Van Gogh paintings and Rodarte dresses side by side.
