Rodarte

now who the hell would wear this? this is the part i hate about fashion shows . . . so many un-wearable things. i know fashion is art - and i appreciate it. but what's the point of fashion if you can't wear it. sometimes i wonder why those designers don't design tableclothes or placemats instead of dresses.

everyone is talking about the Rodarte show today. and my god, every item is HORRIBLE and completely unwearable. It is getting praise today though. because of the originality of the design and the quality of the craftmenship of the clothes. i just don't get why they don't get boo'd out of the fashion industry with shit like this. i could see if a few pieces were artsy and unwearable, but not ALL the pieces.

The shapes were full and fanciful: petal-pink rosettes and marabou feathers dotted with delicate chiffon macaroons. This extravagance, combined with feminine details, princess colors, beautiful seams, and the sisters' delicate touch, surpasses the lack of concern for practicality. Because if everything on the runway were strictly "wearable," we'd fall asleep in our little wooden chairs.
