On the Border

Rodarte's designs have always been intricate, flowy, and unique.  Fall 2010 was no exception.  The collection still has a splash of Gothic elements, coupled with more mainstream elements than is usual for the sisters.  Their main influence this time came more from the border of Mexico and Texas.  The story told by the clothing is akin to a ghost town, where the women have led hard lives and seem to be simply shells of their former selves.

Overall, the collection was light and airy, with hints of darker meanings.  This may be the beginning of Rodarte breaking into the mainstream, and having a much broader influence on the fashion world.
