Rodarte F/W 09.10 NYC

source: inaya404 (Livejournal)

I mentioned above that I see some influences here, perhaps entirely coincidental, of course. The first one - and this was probably due to the boots and color palette - I thought of McQueen's Fall 2007 collection. Also the textures as well as colors also brought Somarta Fall 2008 to mind, big time. All in all, I like it. I like Rodarte. I support them a great deal and appreciate them, along with people like Rick Owens, bringing some credibility back to american design. I love that they're exploring their craft instead of getting into a comfort zone. I can't wait to see these girls in Paris. Someone make it happen already!
