I miss the old Rodarte, not liking this.

the full collection is on nowfashion... i don't understand what's going on here. it stars off great, i love love the first looks and then it slowly starts to get messy and tragic. the final dresses feature some of the ugliest and most amateurish prints i've seen in quite sometime:

why.

I have no words for this horrendous and confusing mess. What the hell has happened to this brand :doh:

Yikes, this is horrid. Horrid. What are those amateur prints? And those back-waist cuts on every piece? And that horrible excuse for draping? What is this?

Does this mean people are finally going to stop pretending this label is good?

It would be hard to have someone say those last few gowns were beautiful with a straight face.

hate saying this, but it looks quite amateurish to me....

apparently style.com thinks they're

:lol:

i actuall think this one (and this one only) would be nice in a bold color, or in black or white, but those prints are just ... unexcusable

I have to admit I felt similarly. I was actually excited when I saw looks 1 through 9 on Nowfashion. It felt fresh and really subtle for Rodarte (dresses 8 and 9 in particular are gorgeous). Then the tie-dye came in and it too started off promisingly enough, but then it was paired with those geometric warlock bibs. The finale print was garish to say the best. There's something working for them at the beginning, but the whole thing would have done with a good edit.

So true, it's starts off so well. Their last few collections have been so 'meh'. I want to see a Spring 2008 again.
