Wow, Mulleavys! I think sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavey hit the right note with their collection when they headed in a different direction than the one dominating New York Fashion Week, namely the sports wear inspired. I'm happy they did, their tribute to Vincent van Gogh feels less analytical than past Rodarte collections, which lends a certain ease and wearability to their clothes that they might have lacked before. The collection from New York's enfants terrible might be seen by some as a repudiation of edge, but I'm not sure, I think the Mulleavys manage the thin line between wearablity and innovation gallantly.
I do think that the eye makeup was a bit overpowering but maybe this was the Mulleaveys' way of saying all was not beautiful and visually pleasing in Van Gogh's world.
For everyone not that into fashion I beg you to bear with me. Truly Felicia will not morph into a fashion blog, although I do love clothes and I hope you can find fashion as inspiring as I do.
