A MAGAZINE # 11 - RODARTE

'A Magazine' is a biannual publication that invites a guest curator (selected designer) to create something that reflects their taste and that celebrates their ethos. 

Issue #11 has been curated by the beautiful Mulleavy sisters of Californian fashion label, Rodarte. 

As stated on the 'A Magazine' website:

"Each issue celebrates this designer’s ethos: their people, their passion, their stories, emotions, fascinations, spontaneity and authenticity. As such A MAGAZINE exists as an entirely dynamic title – a cultural statement for individuality in an increasingly 

homogenous industry.

Highlights of A#11 include two exclusively commissioned portfolios, featuring Kirsten Dunst in the Rodarte Autumn | Winter 2011 collection photographed by David Armstrong, and Elle Fanning in the Rodarte Spring Summer 2012 Couture collection photographed by Bill Owens."

RODARTE'S MUSE.

This film, featuring Elle Fanning wearing clothing from Rodarte's Fall 2011 collection, premiered on the website "NOWNESS."

--> Hollywood’s latest darling, Elle Fanning, goes digging for buried treasure in Todd Cole's new collaboration with Rodarte, The Curve of Forgotten Things, premiering exclusively on NOWNESS today. The film highlights design duo Kate and Laura Mulleavy's spring 2011 collection, which drew inspiration from 1970s northern California, referencing Redwood forests, the gold rush and Asian influences. 

The 'Somewhere' star pirouettes through the empty rooms of the historic Baldwin House (which sits on an oil field in LA's Baldwin Hills), her outfits magically changing from one room to the next. Shot on a RED camera using Cooke lenses from the 70s, the short's dusty focus references seminal movies of that era, such as Terrence Malick’s Badlands, while Georgia-based indie rockers Deerhunter provide the dreamy soundtrack. 

As for the title, Cole explains: “It's the title of a Richard Brautigan poem. The poem and the film are about forgotten things—circles and the curve of time.”

RODARTE FALL 2011.

Kate Mulleavy from the Rodarte duo once told The Wall Street Journal that their "overall aesthetic viewpoint is an obsession with perfection through things that aren't perfect. It is a different point of view on luxury." 

I think this sums up the Fall 2011 collection pretty well...
