Taking inspiration from the 60s and 70s trends, retro hair made its appearance on a range of spring/summer 2012 catwalks.
Crimped, slick backed locks and big curls formed part of this trend, whist twisted and plait up-dos also made an appearance.
The great thing about this trend is that it can be dressed up or down. Wear locks loose and curled with a cute printed top for a day in the park or vamp them up with crimpers for a night on the tiles.
See the designer looks in the gallery below.

Pleats appeared on the AW 2011 catwalks with mini cheerleader skirts making a huge impact on the highstreet. And this season they are here to stay.
Spotted on all the major catwalks including Dior, House of Holland and Rodarte this look has been given a summer make over thanks to a range of pastel pinks and ethereal creams.
Hemlines have also been made longer to reflect the relaxed feel of the 70s, while fabrics are lighter and more floaty.
Team up maxi skirts with simple vests or go for a loose chiffon vest for a smarter occasion.
See all the designer inspiration in the gallery below.

The Spring season is almost upon us and we can’t wait to push those jumpers to the back of our wardrobes. It’s also a great excuse to revamp our make up bags.
If you’re a girl who loves the 60s look then you’ll adore this season’s beauty trends, which give a huge nod to this era. One such look is statement smoky eyes.
Seen on the catwalks of Gucci, Rodarte and Erin Fetherstone this look lets you be as big and bold as you like.
Coat those eyelids with dark bold colours, which spread to the brow and of course under the eyelids add some thick eyeliner and you’re ready to dance away to those cheesy tunes in one of this season’s hottest looks.
See the gallery below for our top five statement smoky eye looks.

Rodarte Spring/Summer 2012
Anyone who was lucky enough to be at the Rodarte show yesterday in NYC probably felt like they were in the presence of something amazing, as the Mulleavy sisters behind the label have produced what we think could be one of their finest, most beautiful and moving collections to date. The front row was a sight to be seen as well, with every A-lister in the Big Apple vying for a seat – amongst others were the photographer Terry Richardson, Anna Wintour, the Fanning sisters and the fabulous Anna Dello Russo.
Even though I am writing about this collection from my box room in gloomy Hackney, when I saw the latest Rodarte pieces I was immediately transported back to dreamy, wistful feelings of summertime by their Van Gosh-inspired sunflower printed day-dresses and gowns. The models’ haunted faces and wispy blonde hair teamed with these dreamy sunflower dresses in delicate silks and chiffons had an ethereal Virgin Suicides vibe to me.
Colour was an incredibly key part of the Spring/Summer collection because the Mulleavy sisters had actually taken the colours from Van Gogh’s most famous paintings and re-crafted the concept into haunting, wearable fashion – pale, buttery yellows and dreamy sky blues shimmered on the catwalk amongst metallic brocade work and embroidery, gradually shifting into darker blues and purples to represent the swirling night sky of the painter’s Starry Night.
To me, the collection completely embodied the hazy, dreamy nostalgia of summers past with their fairy-tale creations. A very special creation indeed, that I think may end up being one of my favourites out of the whole season. Because how could it not?
To see the highlights from Rodarte’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection, check out the gallery above.

Like the dresses the celebs were wearing at the MET Ball? Think you could never afford one? Well think again.
Gap, which was the sponsor of last night’s event, has teamed up with designers including Alexander Wang, Sophie Theallet, Thakoon and Rodarte who created some of the dresses for the event. And it’s now giving you the chance to get your hands on some of the one-off creations for yourself.
However, like with anything that seems perfect in life there’s a catch. And that’s that you’ll have to bid for your dress from tomorrow. Log onto the Gap site tomorrow and keep bidding! Good luck.

Ladies with a fetish for shoes will be as excited as we are to hear that Selfridges new shoe room will be bigger than the ground floor of the Tate Modern.
The retailer confirmed the news, which will have hundreds of us jumping around in shoe delight, this morning.
The fabulous footwear fashion space, which is the biggest project Selfridges has undertaken since 2003 will be open from September this year and will be designed by architect Jamie Forbert.
It will house exclusive designs from Givenchy, Chloe, Stella McCartney and Rodarte as well as giving shoppers six different salons and 10 brand boutiques.
Is it too early to start pitching our tents?

“Drum roll please!”
Last night’s CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards in New York attracted the cream of the crop from our design pond, but only a few could take home a gong.
Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy were the toast of the evening, winning the Womenswear Designer of the Year Award. They brought along a very happy Kirsten Dunst as their date.
Proenza Schouler were named Accessory Designer of the Year. While a very confident Alexander Wang was awarded the Swarovski Award for Womenswear.
For the first time the Popular Award was given to Ralph Lauren. Special honors included Anna Sui for the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, and Marc Jacobs for the International Award. Check out a full list of the winners after the jump…

Designers are handling the recession in a variety of ways, which they discussed at a panel on the topic of luxury at the Hammer Museum in L.A. Monday. The Rodarte sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, for instance, have decided to stop selling pants.
“All anyone ever talks about is the economy, and we don’t sell our pants anyway,” Kate said. “So screw it. We won’t make them.”
The panel addressed making luxury clothing in an era when the consumer, even one who can afford it, it ill-inclined to purchase luxury goods. The answer seems to be redefinging luxury, something many in the fashion world (and beyond) have felt was necessary for some time now.

I really, really hope this is the beginning of seeing more Rodarte on the red carpet. And an auspicious start it was. Natalie Portman was perfectly appropriate for a presenter’s role – fashionable without being overdone. Ever the vegan, she also wore Stella McCartney shoes (always animal friendly), a vintage Rialto clutch and Kwiat jewelry. She stood out in what I think was the only pink dress on the carpet, but kept things simple and classic. And of course was hilarious with Ben Stiller on stage.

While sleeping in, going out and changing our wardrobes over from summer to fall, the fashion world kept churning.
Paris Fashion Week is in full swing, check out photo galleries of Nina Ricci, above right, top, and Gareth Pugh.
We love the Rodarte-heavy editorial spread in Italian Velvet Magazine posted on Foto Decadent, above left. Shot by James Macari, styled by Sabrina Vanotti and starring Eniko Mihalik, it kind of rivals that Steven Klein shoot in American Vogue for Rodarte mesh tights usage.
NBC rather quietly won its injunction against producers at The Weinstein Company for trying to take Project Runway to Lifetime. Fashionista breaks it down.

New Fashions, New York Fashion Week - Runway

Now that the madness of New York Fashion Week has ended, I have a bit more time to contemplate what I saw walking down the runways. Florals were big again for spring, but there were fewer romantic gardens and more modern, artistic looks. I loved the long brushstroke stripe-y feel of the prints at Rodarte, Michael Angel and Diane von Furstenberg, above. While Kate and Laura Mulleavy used their swirling colors to create movement and add shape to stunning effect at Rodarte, Michael Angel’s watercolors were my favorites. The fluidity of the print gives the fluidity of the fabric an extra oomph, making it more chic than boho. Sure, a hippy-chick might wear these shapes, but she’s no flower child living in a van. She has a more meticulous, cultivated look. Diane von Furstenberg’s prints were just perfect for a party, they look fun and easy. Just what you want after being released from winter’s layers.
To see how desigers rethought florals for 09, keep reading. Also, to see more pics and a review of each collection, click on that designer’s name.

Sure, sure, we’ve got Olympic fever. But design awards are more our kind of international competition. Today, Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte became only the second ever US design team to be nominated for the Swiss Textiles award.
The award is particularly coveted because of a 100,000 euro prize purse, which any growing designer would love to get their hands on.
The prize will be awarded in November in Zurich, and is notoriously difficult to predict. Other nominees include Richard Nicoll, Cathy Pill, TOGA, Louise Goldin, and Jean-Pierre Braganza.

Even at the celebratory Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards last night, the memory of legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent was not far from the industry’s mind.
Inspired by Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking Suit and one of the night’s winners, Ashley Olsen donned a Calvin Klein resort 09 tuxedo. Naomi Campbell topped that by wearing vintage YSL, and CFDA president Diane Von Furstenberg also wore the symbolic style including a vintage YSL jacket.
