'70s fashion inspiration, design collaboration, Rodarte, Rodarte X & Other Stories, spring 2016

 

Sibling design duo Kate and Laura Mulleavy

the creative force of fashion label

Rodarte

has collaborated with high street shop

& Other Stories

on a Spring 2016 capsule collection, available in store from March 2016.

…

Known for their feminine, fantastical, forward design aesthetics,

the Mulleavy sisters create clothing of whimsy

not necessarily for the faint of heart.

Their work with & Other Stories produced clothing which stays true

to the Rodarte brand,

yet offers options of versatility in wearability and fabrication.

…

Staying within the current retro resurgence

(evident in the Rodarte s / s  ’16 runway offering)-

there is a definite ’70s vibe to the collab collection:

shine / sparkle:  cue the lurex and sequins

inviting /  tactile:  feel the faux fur, velvet and silk

…

The Rodarte brand has amassed an A-list celebrity clientele.

Now due to teaming with & Other Stories

(part of the family of stores under the H & M umbrella)

their clothing will reach a wider audience of fashion statement makers.

…

The sister’s Spring collection 2016

which walked the runway during New York Fashion Week,

gives hint of the flavour expected of the high-street

partnership with & Other Stories.

…

To whet the fashion appetite:

located Pacific Palisades, California

constructed (1949) from glass / steel

…

Aspects of their progressive design mindset-

previsioned the coming of the computing age.

For the 1964 World’s Fair (NYC)

they displayed their multi-screen “Information Machine”.

Visitors could write a date on a card, feed the card into the machine

and the machine would offer the leading New York Times headline for that date-

certainly a rudimentary precursor of Google Search.

…

 

The World of Charles and Ray Eames

is a show not to be missed for its examination of

 multi-talented, multi-disciplinary creatives

Charles and Ray Eames-

whose mid-century modern design achievements are celebrated to this day.

…

The World of Charles and Ray Eames

until 14 February 2016

Barbican Centre, London

Greek born, London based,

Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design educated-

all background details of designer Mary Katrantzou,

who has electrified the fashion stage with

her innovative prints, striking colour choices and

informed inspiration from works of art, photography and

architectural form.

…


Ms. Katrantzou’s recent project is an exciting collaboration

with mega sportswear giant, German multinational- Adidas.

Set for a long-term partnership, the inaugural

capsule collection, Adidas Originals by Mary Katrantzou,

will feature footwear and apparel in signature Katrantzou style:

massive colour impact, inventive print and pattern motif

for full-on graphic contact.  Score!

 

…

Having had the pleasure of hearing Ms. Katrantzou speak on several occasions,

it is evident that she has a high-octane level of enthusiasm,

charisma and energy which translates effectively and beautifully into her work.

On joining forces with Adidas, she states:

“I’m really excited to be working with Adidas on a line of apparel and footwear, I grew up, like so many other kids around the world, wearing Adidas sneakers and I’m really excited about bringing my vision to such a global brand.”
