The redwoods of Northern California served as the touchpoint for Kate and Laura Mulleavy’s spring Rodarte collection. Evident in the knotty, grain-effect silks and leathers, the samurai-style paneling was a direct result of the fusion of West Coast and Japan. How about the Ming Dynasty, reminiscent in the blue and white floral prints that were sculpted just so to look like vases? Simply put: this was a gorgeous collection of pieces that real women will be able to translate into their current wardrobes. Spring, fortunately, isn’t just about a red carpet moment. There are plenty of leather jackets, skirts, tunics and wide-leg cropped pants to choose from. But at the end of the day, no one does a dress better than Rodarte–and these were the best of the week.
