Starry Night (posted on 03/01/2012)

I am an art lover at heart. I am also always taken by the unbelievable imagination that the Rodarte sisters have and incorporate into their collections. But honestly sometimes creativity needs to be tamed. Here in the above look taken from Rodarte's Spring 2012 Collection, the influence of Van Gogh's Starry Night is so obvious that I wish they had just left this as their main point of creativity leaving the rest of the look simple and without effort. Unfortunately, the look ended up being this convoluted mess of a frill explosion creating too much volume around the hips and shoulders.
