the whole world is a stage


Clockwise from top lef: Philosophy; Jason Wu; Rodarte

Looking at a designer's labor of love walking on elaborate and unique runways really does add a whole new dimension to the experience. (Not that there's anything wrong with a classic runway, which I assume are created such that it's only about the designs. So that nothing detracts and distracts from fashion itself.)

Of the ones I've taken note of... Rodarte gets about 100 bonus points for creativity in putting those lights in the crates (is that what you would call it?) and constructing something that won't look out of place at an art installation. But then again, every Rodarte piece is a work of art so maybe that's the whole point! I approve of Jason Wu's catwalk just as much- it's a walkable shiny disco ball and its dark tones does wonders! (The Philosophy runway was just a bit crazy...)

The Rodarte presentation was phenomenal! I'm not completely sold on the actual garments but the overall shindig was splendid.

yes, i'm totally digging the crates too. it's definitely interesting to see what the runway is going to look like . . . it sets the mood, which i think is really important whether it's simple or elaborate!
