I got inspiration while looking at Rodarte’s ready-to-wear spring/summer 2018. Their Spring 2018 collection was staged in the 16th-century cloister of a hospital. You can see Tulle dresses and separates, manipulated and embellished in every possible way: studded with pearls, caviar beads, ostrich feathers, polka dots. Leather motocross jackets, cut cropped but full, pierced with yet more pearls. Delicate floral-print chiffon dresses and jumpsuits. Kate Mulleavy and Laura Mulleavy claimed that they used Robert Altman’s 3 Women as the starting point for the collection, and nowhere was this more apparent than in their color choices.

The woman’s outfit in one of the pictures I chose is similar to the outfits in the Rodarte’s collection. The image was not pre-planned as it doesn’t have a backdrop. So I think it is more like a natural photograph in a party. We can see the woman sat at the table and talked to the woman next to her, and the ourfit she wore are still seem very atmospheric and elegant now. So I am curious to googled and found that the woman in the picture is Bianca Jagger. She is the queen of fashion in 70s and Mousika of Yves Saint Laurent who comes from South America, also the rolling stones frontman Mick Jagger’s ex-wife. She is also a strong feminist and anti war activists. Her faith is ‘First influence, then change the world.’that made me deeply moved.

As Robert Altman’s 3 Women is a 70s movie, Bianca Jagger is the queen of fashion in 70s, She can be said to represent the epitome of fashion at that time. To sum up, I love Rodarte’s Spring 2018 collection and think it is an interpretation of alienation and odd neurotic temperament.
