Rodarte X Todd Cole Short Film: ‘Aanteni’

The Rodarte sisters, Kate and Laura Mulleavy, teamed up with video artist Todd Cole to create a super artsy film, called “Aanteni,” which features model Guinevere van Seenus in three diffrent looks from the label’s Spring 2010 collection. Above is a still from the video featured on Nowness. There were times where I felt like the short would have been more accurately named “Escape from the Runway!” about a model on the run after refusing to subject herself to the hazzards of sky-high heels, but mostly the gorgeousness of Guinevere combined with the intricate designs of the dresses are capivating. In addition to the film there is also a post explaining the inspiration for Rodarte’s most recent collection (including the melty Kirkwood heels) and a third entry explaining the motivation for the film.
