Haute couture fashion week begun in Paris on Sunday. And there was one show nobody has been able to stop talking about (or Instagramming) since.
Imagine Port-Royal Abbey, a prestigious sixteenth century building steeped in history and overgrown flowers. Now, introduce the sartorial magic of the Mulleavy sisters. Yes, American label, Rodarte, made its highly-anticipated debut at couture fashion week yesterday and it was nothing short of breathtaking.
Sourcing inspiration from Robert Altman's cinematic success, 3 Women, the design duo played with saccharine palettes, twee frills and gothic florals.
Stepping through overgrown blooms, models walked the catwalk with their hair decked in baby's-breath makeshift crowns, some traipsing oversized bouquets behind them in a childlike manner.
Petals were sprinkled across models' hair courtesy of Los Angeles-based florist, Joseph free, and decked in bows by Oldie Gilbert. While lobes were having a moment of their own, heavy with oversized jewels.
Yet despite the quintessentially Parisian romance, we were reminded of the brand's Los Angeles heritage through knee-skimming Western boots and co-ordinating studded leather ensembles.
Models were buckled tight in gold bows, worn over their midriff and through the loopholes of low-slung leather trousers.
While others, dressed in wisps of pastel-hued fur and sheer floral-embroidered lace.
We couldn't have conjured up anything more ethereally beautiful in our wildest dreams.
