Rodarte research....

In this video they talk about the preparation for the shows and how they came about the idea's for it. It was said that the look they were going for was East LA gang girls and a rougher sort of beauty. They used beautiful clothes which they kept wanting to ruin to make it try and look ugly. 

Quick take Rodarte Kate and Laura are seen more as 'Artist then fashion designers' because there work is so much more different, for example the way they create there clothes they layer materials  and clothes together with different colours. The whole point of having Quick-take Rodarte is so that people can have an insight on the current work in the galleries.  

These images are examples of what the Rodarte patterns looked like down the arms, these images have helped me come up with shapes and patterns that I could use for my look. I like how some of the shapes actually fit's in the with the part of the arm they are on. For example the part around her wrist looks like bracelet going around her wrist (last image right hand side.)

Laura and Kate (sister's) create the Rodarte look, the theme behind it was gothic and black. Which they had been inspired by "Death Valley and mangled and tattered." On the catwalk, there was black sand on the floor and different fragrances, when the models first appeared on the set it looked as if they were coming out of a silver looking cave.
