Rodarte Collaborated With Starbucks on a Holiday Collection
Rodarte for Opening Ceremony? Obviously. Rodarte for Black Swan? Why not. Rodarte for Target? Sure. Gotta make money somehow. Rodarte for Starbucks? Umm…what?

Rodarte Creates a One-Off Collection for Pitti W, Launches Their New Book
For their site-specific event at Pitti Immagine, which took place last night, the Rodarte sisters–Kate and Laura Mulleavy–chose an empty building in central Florence. This served as a space for 10 couture-quality gowns, inspired by Fra Angelico’s frescoes in the monks’ cells at the Convent of San Marco, as well as Bernini’s The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa. The tiny rooms–set up like cells–featured strobe lights and classical music such as “Pachelbel’s Canon,” setting a solemn, intense mood. The Mulleavys worked with longtime collaborator, designer Alexandre de Betak, to build the installation.
The capsule, created in Los Angeles, stands apart from the designers’ other collections. “It’s completely separate,” Laura said at a press preview yesterday morning. “We wanted to include what we love about the city, about the fashion.”

Who Will Replace John Galliano at Dior? A List of Possibles
Replacing the fired John Galliano at Dior is arguably the biggest decision Bernard Arnault will ever make. (Mostly because there was less riding on the position when he first hired Galliano in the Nineties.)
Since Galliano’s reign at the storied Paris fashion house was a time of major financial growth, Arnault needs to choose someone who can continue on that commercial path without compromising design. It’s a tough one, mostly because many of the designers proven capable of this are already stationed in plum creative director roles. Will Arnault look outside LVMH to replace Galliano, or will he make some swaps within the empire? We’ve crafted some educated guesses.

Rodarte Hits the Bullseye
WWD’s “Rodarte a ‘GO’ With Target’ headline made us fall out of bed with shock.
