2009 wouldn’t be complete without some Rodarte. From store curating to collaborations to post-apocalyptic visions of condors rising from ashes, the Mulleavy sisters have had quite a year. I’ve been constantly awed by them since I first set eyes on their beautiful dresses five years ago, I even had a dog named after their inspiring [...]

If I muster up the courage, I might actually cut and sew some old flannel shirts together to make a pieced-together looking plaid skirt, but until then, I’m making do by simply buttoning and tying them together haphazardly.

Fashion moves fast, that’s for sure. In true spoiled, materialistic spirit, one minute, we’re all freaking out about the new Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony buckled wedges, the next minute, we’re onto our next fix (the Acne Atacoma).
