Kate and Laura Mulleavy’s inspiration for this season’s Rodarte collection was undoubtedly the American Plains. The color palette was neutral and earthy-with the exception of the bright red show closer. The collection was steeped with silk gowns, long skirts, and leather pieces. It was also exquisitely hand-crafted. The appliqué on the pinafore tops and skirts was appliquéd were not made by a machine, reinforcing the high price point of these items.

Sophie Theallet:
The muse for this stunning collection was the aura of a woman who is stylish but is also perhaps a little bit ill-behaved. The opening look of a skinny pencil skirt paired with an open satin blouse, was perfectly reminiscent of the good girl gone a little bad, and a tinge of the sexiness of Tom Ford’s Gucci days, However, there was still a sweetness about each look that lended itself with Sophie Theallet’s typical bohemian silhouettes and aesthetic.

Fenton:
Fenton’s F/W 20ll Collection was entitled “Versailles at Midnight” and was rightfully inspired by none other than Louis XIV. Each piece of jewelry referenced the opulent age and polished interiors with a contemporary and hand-crafted feel. Different sections of the show called to mind different times of day which was an innovative way of organizing the viewing of the collection. For example, an early morning hour was represented by a piece in acid green jade with a thoroughly 1980’s touch. With Fenton, everything is handmade and custom, which you could easily see through this collection’s pieces.
