Brittney Stephens — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:15:51 PST

Rodarte is well known for its romantic design sense and meticulous, elaborate gowns. Sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy use intricate hand-stitched detailing and always pair their designs with artsy, ethereal hair and makeup. In anticipation of their Fall 2012 show, we're taking a look back at the most striking beauty looks from Rodarte's runways.

Happy Birthday, Mia Wasikowska!

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 04:30:48 PDT

If you've watched The Kids Are All Right or Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, you'll recognize actress Mia Wasikowska's quietly beautiful face. And, if you haven't - tune in, because Mia's career shows no signs of slowing down, taking the lead in Jane Eyre, and most recently, in Gus Van Sant's Restless, for which the actress made styled appearances at both Cannes and Toronto Film Festival. What's at the forefront of our minds is Mia's quirky-cum-ladylike aesthetic; it rivals Carey Mulligan's ladylike ways, and has us currently obsessed with her perfectly-executed red carpet looks. With a penchant for Rodarte, Jason Wu, Valentino, and basically anything demure with a slightly funky edge, she's quite quickly become one of our favorite young actresses to watch. Since today happens to be the actress's 22nd birthday, we're celebrating with a look at her most memorable looks so far.

Runway Retrospective: Rodarte

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 17:46:18 PDT

Rodarte - I can't say the name without having images of fashion-forward dresses float before my eyes. Designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy have taken the concept of a gown and turned it upside down, in the best way possible. Their designs manage to be both ethereal and completely funky - and celebs eat them up! The sisters even created the Black Swan costumes, which were inspired by Edgar Degas's Little Dancer statue. Since Fall of 2006, Rodarte's ready-to-wear has gotten more and more sophisticated and elaborate. Click through to see their runway retrospective, then look forward to their Spring 2012 collection at New York Fashion Week.

Sneak Peek - Rodarte For Opening Ceremony Fall Lookbook

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 08:42:32 PDT

The Rodarte X Opening Ceremony collaboration has been a match made in heaven since its inception in February - and the love is still going strong for Fall. For their second collection with OC, designers Laura and Kate Mulleavy culled inspiration from Scandinavia, creating a soft and textural collection comprised of long silhouettes, pretty blush hues, and fur coats. The lookbook, modeled by twins Gwen and Donna Loos, shows a nice mix of themes with silk ruffled maxidresses, mohair cardigans, and Fair Isle knits for the girly girl and black leather skirts, sheer dresses, and long-haired fur toppers for the dark angel. The collection will be available early in October both in stores and online. Here are some Fall pointers we gleaned from the collection:

Pink is here to stay. Instead of a hot pink hue, opt for lighter blush tones come cooler weather.
Get textural. We love all of the furs, ruffles, and embellishments seen in this collection.
Embrace printed trousers. Instead of opting for a pretty LBD at your next dressed-up event, experiment with a pair of standout trousers.

Now peep the complete lookbook in the slideshow.

Summer on the Farm: How to Get Country Chic

Hannah Weil — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 03:45:53 PDT

Taking a page from country-inspired collections like D&G's cheeky gingham-injected daywear, we can't help but be captivated with the kind of girly dresses and easy denim that make for a very chic take on farmer-inspired outfits. It's not just the runways; it's all over fashion editorials - Zuzana Gregorova captured in overalls in the pages of Marie Claire Italia, Ashley Smith for Black Magazine, denim-clad duo Sacha Blue and Daria Z in Dmag, and Kristina C sun-kissed in Grazia Germany all hint at the simpler life and effortless styling that goes with. Looking for ways to wear the trend? Think pretty frills on your LWDs, wood-soled wedges, and lots of denim to pair with brightly hued checks.
