Rodarte

In Moda Operandi's Spring 2013 campaign, Karlie Kloss dons some of the season's prettiest flowery pieces, from an array of designers that includes Thom Browne, Rodarte, Suno, and Katie Ermilio, among others. But photographer Cedric Buchet's dramatic campaign, which is called "La Vie en Rose," doesn't simply feature the flowers on the clothing. Instead, a number of blooms were digitally superimposed over the photos to create a buoyant visual effect. Some of the flowers float over Kloss's lithe figure, while others simply fill whatever room she's in. A look at the campaign here in the gallery.

Kapow! Bang! Wowee! If you're feeling it, why not express it via a slogan sweater? Phillip Lim touched on the trend in his 2013 Fall show, while House of Holland's Henry Holland has always been a fan of a bold statement, this season declaring Viva La Vibe! on varsity-style jumpers teamed with tea-length skirts. Choose between simple declarations à la Zoe Karssen's ode to women, or get the point across more strongly with Sportsgirl and Topshop's Pop art inspired statements. Shop our top five whatever your preference, before they all go boom!

The look at Rodarte for Fall 2013 was all about the contrast: a rocker girl and a princess all rolled into one. The hair took on an edgy, ethereal look that paired loads of texture with a rose-like braid/bun hybrid behind the head. Odile Gilbert, working with John Frieda, described the look as a rocker princess with a cool, undone texture. Want to ace this look yourself? Click through to see how.

Rodarte's Fall 2013 collection could be summed up in four words: punk rock prom queen. Designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy stayed true to their signature artful colour clashing and pattern play while also introducing new, sexier silhouettes. Their always ethereal aesthetic got a jolt of edgy sex appeal with skin-baring cut-outs and mesh bodices — not the mention the '90s-era bodysuits worn under low-slung trousers (a look that we all tried at one time during our youth). Sticking with the grunge-inspired feel, cropped leggings were worn under diaphanous dresses and topped with slouchy leather jackets, and each look was topped with layers of chunky gold chains, tough-girl earrings, or spiked headbands.

• Colours: Black, camel, and white (with pops of purple, pink, red, and blue).
• Trends: Cut-outs, sheer panels, ruffles, tie-dye.
• Shoes: Ankle-strap, Mary Jane-style platforms worn with floral socks.
• Front-row fixtures: Carine Roitfeld, Kate Lanphear, and '90s rock style icon Kim Gordon.
• Beauty look: Loose, romantic half-updos, nude lips with heavy under-eye liner.

Rodarte is well known for its romantic design sense and meticulous, elaborate gowns. Sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy use intricate hand-stitched detailing and always pair their designs with artsy, ethereal hair and makeup. In anticipation of their upcoming Fall 2013 show, we're taking a look back at the most striking beauty looks from Rodarte's runways.
