The patchwork galore shown at Rodarte’s last show would have made an bohemian lady who does Tai-Chi in the middle of the post office proud. Yeah, we all know a neighborhood fruit whether you’re in NYC or Bowling Green. Anyway, I’m digging the different fabrics, except I wish they were separated and not thrown together like the $1 a pound store in Boston. Seriously, this is like one of those ‘invisible’ cloaks in Harry Potter. Throw one of these dresses on and sit curled up on the floor. I predict a cat will pass by, sniff you, and then piss and mark its territory. Just sayin’.

Dear Rodarte,
I suspect District 9 , Predator, and Swamp Thing were on your Netflix the week before you designed your Spring 2010 collection. Although both movies ( with the exception of Predator) are totally the bomb, the fashion was not, particularly, anything to replicate, let alone be a glimmer of inspiration. Looking at your collection, I have an explained urge to gymp ( not in the Pulp Fiction sense of the term, but in the cheezy, tween craft sense of the term.) I’ll let you know if I have any extra weed whacking string to donate ’cause I’m cool like that.
Your pal,
Roxy

Rodarte is one of the most cutting edge fashion designers. This collection reminded me of Mad Max , but in the swamp. But in a good way. I really like the thigh high boots, but they could make the thinnest of the thinnest look like a fattie. That means the ladies above are almost nonexistent, because they look good in the boots! Anyway, The dresses are starting to grow on me as I write this entry. The asymmetry is what really is drawing me in. That and the pastels. The last photo reminds me of fool’s gold. When I was a kid , I used to collect them and try to trade the ‘gold’ for candy. Unfortunately, it never worked and I looked like a fool! Fools’ Gold! get it!…. yeah, … I’ll stop. That’s the perfect outfit for a gold digger, by the way.
