How amazing is this, Rodarte for Target is currently in stores (December 20-January31, 2010)… this is so exciting. Rodarte is one of my favorite lines. I saw a fashion show on Fashion Television probably over a year ago and fell in love with their clothes. They’re so different, they have such style that no one else has. This line will be part of Target’s GO International program with an amazing price-point between $9.95-$79.99.
“Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte bring a couture sensibility to the GO International program with an acute eye for detail and appreciation for craftsmanship,” said Trish Adams, senior vice president, Target. “We are excited to share their extraordinary talent with our guests, providing off-the-runway fashion at unbeatable prices.”
And another little treat… the 13-year-old fashion blogger Style Rookie Tavi shows us a behind the scenes look at the fashion show in the video below, talks to celebrities and joins the official photoshoot. This kid has moved up in the world for such a young age! I’ve heard talk about her and now I’ve finally seen who she is from this video and her blog… adorable.

I was watching CNN last night and they were talking about the upcoming movie The September Issue – Anna Wintour and the Making of Vogue. I’m so excited and wondering what insites this movie will have to offer, have a look for yourself at this trailer… I’m intrigued, are you?
Heres the synopsis:
Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine for twenty years, is the most powerful and polarizing figure in fashion. Hidden behind her trademark bob and sunglasses, she has never allowed anyone to scrutinize the inner workings of her magazine. Until now. With unprecedented access, filmmaker R.J. Cutlers new film, takes the viewer inside a world they only think they know. Every August a record-breaking number of people cant wait to get their hands on the September issue of Vogue. The 2007 issue was and remains the biggest ever, weighing over four pounds, selling thirteen million copies, and impacting the $300-billion global fashion industry more than any other single publication. He takes us behind the scenes at Fashion Week, to Europe, on shoots and re-shoots, and into closed-door staff meetings, bearing witness to an arduous, entertaining, and sometimes emotionally demanding process. At the eye of this annual fashion hurricane is the two-decade relationship between Wintour and Grace Coddington, incomparable Creative Director and fashion genius. They are perfectly matched for the age-old conflict between creator and curator. Through them, we see close-up the delicate creative chemistry it takes to remain at the top of the ever-changing fashion field.
One word: amazing! I think this is a great cause and a great showcase for amazing fashion design talent. Here is just one example, it’s so pretty and I can’t believe it’s made with bathroom tissue. AND they are going to start selling pink bathroom tissue (my favorite colour), twenty-five cents from the sale of every package will go to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
In collaboration with Fondation Pierre Bergé–Yves Saint Laurent.
Yves Saint Laurent’s signature style intertwines references from the art world with those of popular culture and social revolution. Since its establishment in the 1960s by the designer and Pierre Bergé, the Yves Saint Laurent haute couture house has redefined femininity, creating arguably the most famous (and sexiest) suit for women, “Le Smoking” tuxedo, and innovative collections with names such as Pop Art, Ballet Russes, and Picasso.
This retrospective book is the first to cover the forty years of Yves Saint Laurent and highlights the inventive character of the designer’s work. Over 160 of his finest designs and accessories, all taken from the Fondation Pierre Bergé–Yves Saint Laurent collection, are presented. The book is the companion volume to an exhibition that will travel to The Montreal Museum of Fine Art and the de Young Museum in San Francisco. (via haus of chic)
