Here is two excepts from different reviews on Kate and Laura Mulleavy’s Rodarte collection:
Suzy Menkes of the International Herald Tribune writes:
Rodarte’s reputation has been built on a belief in romantic beauty, but this season the design duo behind the label moved the show away from the fey and towards a romantic reality. That meant gauzy fabrics used as suits, their skirts in pleats like corrugated paper gleaming bronze or golden, yet still recognizably a garment that could be used for more than poetry reading on a chaise longue.
Laird Borrelli-Persson of Style.com writes:
The show came to a dramatic end when two young men in suits appeared on the runway and opened a freight elevator to reveal a trio of models in goddess gowns. These were as lovely as any Rodarte has shown, but they weren’t news. What was, was the sisters’ intriguing effort to expand their oeuvre.
