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.

We posted up images of glowy shoes, featured in the Rodarte runway show. Today Tommy Ton posted these on his Jak & Jil blog. They’re not glowing in this image, but they are obviously the same shoes featured in the show. And now that I can see them shot in the light, they’re clearly not just glowy, but also melty!

One more in a lilac colorway after the flip.

I’m at Magic in Vegas so I’m going to keep this short, but loved these glowy shoes Rodarte showed at NY Fashion Week. They’re futuristic, but somehow still warm and fuzzy, just like Rodarte! Maybe post-apocalypse won’t be so bad after all.

While we featured the Rodarte  Collection a few days ago we wanted to give you a second look at the , once again striking footwear  Nicholas Kirkwood created for the Mulleavy sisters Spring/Summer 2010 Collection. Via our beloved J&J. More images on the next page. Stand in awe!

Photog Tommy at Jak&Jil almost passed out upon spying these. Thank god he grabbed the shot before falling to his knees. We truly are in an amazing period of design for footwear. Soak it all in fashion devotees, it won’t last forever!

Yesterday,while hanging out in soho, Liz and I both marveled at the beauty of the Rodarte Knit Fishnets.The Mulleavy sisters are so creatively ahead of the pack it’s refreshing! nonetheless,the look and craftmanship  comes with a cost But, Tiffany from Six six sick girls was able to make her own version !

All I have to say is awesome!

The Rodarte collection as shown at NY Fashion week had my heart soaring last week and I did a post featuring some backstage photography, which can be found here. I meant to post some images from the show but got a little busy. Yes, I’m late, but the show is deserving.

^^The only issue being that there are few that have the presence of personality to pull off wearing this.

Three more stunners on the other side.

In looking around at everyone’s coverage of NY Fashion Week, I stumbled across fashion photographer Sonny’s coverage of the Rodarte show. And all I could think was, wow, how’d I miss this?? The shoes, the leggings(!), the dresses(!!). I mean, you know how sometimes you see something and your eye feels a little startled and you get that butterfly feeling of excitement ’cause you know you’re seeing something that is a glimpse of what’s next? That’s how Rodarte’s collection felt. And their  leggings? Everyone else’s just officially got left in the dust.

^^Talk about mean and vicious!

Some white ones after the flip.
