In keeping with the spirit of fashion week, I thought I would do a little post on RODARTE. Pronounced Ro-DAR-tay.

Sisters Kate and Laura have only been around 3 years but they are taking the fashion world by storm. Based in Pasadena and showing since 2005 they have a great team of collaborators including my favorite shoe designer, Mr. Louboutin.

Part ballerina, part fairy, part cyborg their unique vision is a delight to watch. Hard edged with soft and feminine qualities. I just adore them. Unfortunately, I can't afford their clothing which starts at two grand a pop, but I can admire from afar.
