Rodarte Fall Winter 2010 / 2011

Well what can I say about this collection. I liked the concept, those candles in the background, the styling and the prints/textures they picked. Shades of dark red, nude, camel, brown, pearl, cream and white seems to be their preferences. In what prints means the collection was full of all types of plaids, vintage flower prints, and tartans. An explotion of texture, with pieces, crochet knitings and wool fringes.
But to be honest the clothes looks poorly executed. They doesn't look designed by a graduted designer. The exploration of fabric's meeting doesn't even look tought and the shapes are really poor. Collection after collection they don't show an evolution. The clothes looks rough and they doesn´t fit the body what cause a lack of harmony in the entire collection. And it's such a pity because they have a great potential. At design exploring they get good results but I think the finished product isn't as good as it should. Anyway, Rodarte is a brand in who I trust and I hope it to get one thousand times better.
