Rodarte Spring/Summer 2013 collection at NYFW

If you think you see allusions to Game of Thrones in Rodarte’s well-armored Spring 2013 collection, think again: Laura Mulleavy claimed backstage Tuesday that she’s never seen the HBO costume drama.

This collection drew inspiration from a rich store of references including medieval garb, fantasy role-playing games, and motorcycles. If nods to the Hells Angels (leather jackets with ropes of fringe) seem out of place with the other touchpoints in this collection, it was the Mulleavys’ signature layered decoration that blended them all together.

Rodarte Spring/Summer 2013 collection at NYFW

I’m getting quite a lot of vibes from this Rodarte collection. As in cowgirl-princess-adventure-gal-cool-jewel-chick-SHAPES-PATTERNS-TEXTURES-ETC.

Y’know what I’m saying?! Hmm, let me try to put this into words… So, you know in David Bowie’s music, the song kind of changes so much that it’s like 3 or 4 different songs combined into one; but somehow, he just creates perfection? Well, I think it’s like Rodarte transformed, let’s just say “a Bowie CD”, into fashion and I think it’s just beautiful.

Rodarte hair style for NYFW spring 2013

Tons of stylists, include Kérastase’s Odile Gilbert, were fixated on the concept of an undercut, or faux-shaved head. At Rodarte, Gilbert created a lady comb-over by directing hair over to one side of the head and shellacking it flat to the side of the head with gobs of product. It may be the deepest side-part we’ve ever seen, but we’re kind of loving how edgy and cool it looks — not to mention how well it showcases those rad ear cuffs.
