We've always adored Target - thanks to its chic on the cheap design collaborations with hot designers like Zac Posen, Rodarte, and Stella McCartney. Next up, the house behind Alexa Chung's famed namesake bag will join forces with the chain and merch is set to hit US stores and online Oct. 10 through Dec. 24. Put an order in through your friends OS!

2010 Met Costume Institute Gala: Kirsten Dunst

FabSugar Australia — Tue, 04 May 2010 12:26:31 +1000

Kirsten Dunst opted for an intricate, one-shoulder gown from Rodarte for tonight's event. The all-white look is complimented with pearl and lace detailing, and a pair of pointed white booties. Golly, this feels a bit saloon gal from the Wild, Wild West. Otherwise, accessories are simple-a pair of Van Cleef & Arpels diamond studs complete the look. How do you think Kristen did?

Global Watch: Rodarte Hits Cinemas Soon!

Being a movie buff myself, I've always enjoyed hearing about Rodarte designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy's obsession with film, especially the horror genre. Here's a cool crossover: Rodarte garb in Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis as rival ballerinas. We don't know many details, except the duo designed ballet costumes for the Swan Lake dance scenes. Remember how they also embraced the Vancouver Winter Olympics in a New York Times editorial? Can't wait to see it!

Aussie newcomer and Alice in Wonderland star, Mia Wasikowska, attended the indie festivities in a grey dress by Rodarte. Contrasting the lighter hue are opaque black tights and simple pumps. No jewels needed since the frock says it all. Cute! What's your verdict?

2010 Fall New York Fashion Week: Rodarte

FabSugar Australia — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:55:02 +1100

Be still my beating heart, those Mulleavy Sisters may be a bit kooky, but they sure know how to dazzle on the runway. I've been left speechless after viewing their Fall collection on SHOWstudio .com.

Just where do I begin? Mexican-inspired crochet and knits, Virgin Suicide-esque white chiffon, sheer silk pants, floral lace catsuits, tattered fringing... it may sound strange, but together, it all works. Even down to the Nicholas Kirkwood designed glow-in-the-dark heels. It's no wonder this show drew a front row crowd including Kirsten Dunst, Chloe Sevigny and Natalie Portman. Trust me on this one, even if you wouldn't wear it, you'll certainly appreciate it.

Click on to see the hauntingly beautiful range.

Global Watch: Watch New York Fashion Week Shows Live!

FabSugar Australia — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 11:19:22 +1100

Are you bummed you can't make it to the New York Fall fashion shows this year? Well cheer up, sunshine! US designers are coming to the rescue by broadcasting their shows live online, with Alexander Wang, Rodarte and Calvin Klein all jumping on the livestreaming bandwagon. Showstudio.com will be presenting both the Wang and Rodarte shows, while the CK show will be broadcast on calvinkleininc.com as well as Facebook.

While this is welcome news to most people, fashion insiders are lamenting that this could mean the end for future fashion week shows. US fashion writer Derek Blasberg recently tweeted his despair, "With all these shows streaming live online (Marc, Calvin, Burberry, etc), I shed a tear for the ultimate end of fashion week. It's coming." Boo. Do you think he has a point?
