It looks like an amateur couture collection, which is better than half of the unknown houses that showed in Paris. This made NY's week so much better.

They're quite pretty but agree w/ Benzo, not look like for NY
[/QUOTE]
Audery reference. Nice.
But I think not many NYers like to wear these.

unusual and creative, some very nice ideas hiding there..
agreed on the Haute Couture elements and on the non-NewYorkiness of the styles, but NYFW is not just for newyorkers, its a global fashion event
i could see latin americas and european boutiques ordering and selling this collection pretty well.. Rodarte is on their way up.. maybe Paris next time?

I love the different uses of the scallop shape - it is very un-NYFW isn' it? But I'm glad because it has injected something different in an otherwise unremarkable fashion week. I should say it's bland but something about it is very appealing. The cream coat with the back ruffle is gorgeous.

NEW YORK, February 8, 2006 – Kate and Laura Mulleavy showed a 21-piece collection today that was exceptional in its sophistication. The self-taught designers are obsessed with how clothes are made—stitch by stitch, bead by bead. They'll study Chanel couture to learn a technique, painstakingly hand-stitch a dress, chase down rhinestones from the twenties… whatever it takes to realize their vision. For fall they said they were "intent on doing very soft abstractions," so they worked their signature "waves"—ruffles of fabric which seem to float on the surface of garments—onto jackets worn with slim pants, and into the folds of accordion-pleated dresses. You could call it poetry in motion.
Each piece seemed to have been conceived in the round, with the back of the garments as carefully ornamented as the front. One pleated dress with quivery tendrils fore was artfully shredded aft. A scallop-trimmed coat, meanwhile, was a feat of detailed stitching; each flap, the sisters explained, was satin-backed, lined, and faced. Of course, all this handwork translates into some bracing prices, and Rodarte is emphatically not for day dressing. But the pleasure the sisters clearly take in their work is contagious.
