Rodarte for Target

Finally here! My bottom line: It's ehh.

For all the absurd hype its been receiving, I found the Mulleavy's new line to be outdated and just too much for the Target demographic. 90s grunge-esque lace inlays and see-through tulle tops with bow sleeves... it's a lot going on. Target shoppers are looking for trendy style on a budget, not the cheap version of Alexander McQueen in his creepy phase.

That being said, I think it was also marketed wrong. I love their leopard mini-dress, but in the promos, they make the model look like a tranny extra from Clueless.

!?



But here's the same dress. Even still, the lace tights amplify what we disliked most about the 90s: maxed-out grunge.



The same goes for this lace-and-nude dress - just styled wrong.

Oh well, to each her own. Either way, go check it out for yourself before it's gone!
