Rodarte Fall Winter 2015/2016 inspiration according to designers Laura and Kate Mulleavy was birds. Migrating birds, to be specific. Birds migrating from city to country, to be more so.

A fitted three-button caban, inverse-color Breton, and supertight jeans. A black jacket and polo-neck worn with supertight black jeans scarred by zippers. A grunge-touched high olive nylon bomber above a leopard sweater, plus black jeans (supertight). It’s probably best to stop specifying the tightness of the pants.  Continue reading
