Alice in Vogueland alkupra 2009-06-19 | "Lewis Carroll dressed her as an innocent in satin and ribbons. Disney made her flaxen haired and saucer eyed. In the pages of Vogue the land of merry unbirthdays and late running rabbits shimmers to life again - as the world's most influential designers dress the original little girl lost in their own visions." This is the description of an outstanding Annie Leibovitz signed fashion editorial starring supermodel Natalia Vodianova. The Alice in Wonderland photoshoot, published in December 2004 issue of Vogue Magazine (US), depicts the namesake tale in a very glamorous mood. An angel-faced Natalia is sporting couture blue dresses playing Alice alongside some of the biggest names in fashion modeling their own designs.

Rodarte Spring/Summer 2011 alkupra 2010-10-14 | RODARTE SPRING/SUMMER 2011 NEW YORK FASHION WEEK The Mulleavy Sisters know how to make things exciting again after for several seasons their collection became predictable and repetitive. We remember they goes extremely goth Predator-ish tribal on last year Spring/Summer collection and then goes extremely angelic almost ghostly for their last Fall/Winter, for now they decide to back to the Mother Earth and takes the inspiration from nature and its solid elements. Experimenting with fabrics and garments, there's some stiffness emerging from the shape and silhouettes mixed with the signature touch of tribal, an amalgamation of many elements as Kate Mulleavy stated, which result eclectic garments that resembling Northern California Redwood skins, earth plates, porcelains, carved wood and rotten leaves. The essentials pieces are knitwear with cutting details, croco dress, sarong skirts, geometric printed pants and tops, and blue & white dress that looks like antique chinoiserie, all with intricate shape and accentuation. To make it even better. Rodarte paired their clothes with big chunky wedges that complementing the complexity of the clothes with their shoegasmic designs Rodarte like always pay an extra attention for the makeup and hairdo, this time they choose natural side front bang and add some hairclips for the hairdo and shimmering pastel and nudish gold lipstick for their models. I'm loving the makeup and hairdo so much, every girl looks divine like some Autumn fairy. The funny thing is I do think this collection feels more Autumn than Spring and their latest Fall/Winter collection actually looks more Spring than this collection. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm blown away with this killer collection and for sure this is my favorite show for New York Fashion Week so far, everything is amazing, the clothes is very rich and precise, gorgeous makeup and hairdo and great casting of models, the more I see it, the more I love this collection. Rodarte, once again, became cult sensation.
