Here once again, a collection that has me in awe. The Mulleavy sisters have done it once again. Like Marc Jacobs, the serenity, not darkness, was the abiding impression. Under the dark light during the finale, the models' candlestick heels suddenly glowed as if lit, Nicholas Kirkwood's towering shoes, the heels this time cleverly designed to look like melting wax.
Rodarte's latest trip - a long drive from El Paso to Marfa, Texas, got them thinking they might like to explore their Mexican roots. From there, they became interested in the troubled border town of Ciudad Juárez; the hazy, dreamlike quality of the landscape there; and the maquiladora workers going to the factory in the middle of the night. And that, according to the designers, who certainly know how to romance a pitch, led to this conclusion: They'd build a collection off the idea of sleepwalking.
