The Rodarte collection started out a little confusing, until Susie Bubble leaned over and whispered, "have you seen Game of Thrones?" Then everything clicked and became suddenly, overwhelmingly delightful. Flowing dragon princess gowns dripped with romantic proto-goth melting rose necklaces and chain mail medallions; chastity corsets and oversized leather jackets with extra long fringe a stone's throw to the fairy side of motorcycle badass. The world of fantasy role play is so often overlooked as a source of strength and beauty, usually because of its connotation with a socially segregate community. Fantasy nerds though, like fashion's idealised rebels, reject conventional restraints to live in a world exactly of their choosing, by their own rules, literally full of magic power.
Laura Mulleavy: The collection kind of started as a way to play with the idea of medieval and fantasy role playing games.
