Taking verbatim from a little feature I did with ebay’s The Insider Source on runway alternatives on ebay:
Julia Frakes
What She Wants:
Rodarte: “I immediately fell for the ladylike, graceful wanderers that Kate and Laura [of Rodarte] dreamed up this season and was particularly struck by the bucolic ginghams and plaids juxtaposed with wisps of femininity (in delicate vintage laces and surprising florals motifs) all orchestrated in an airy, romantic Victorian palette. The knit socks artfully tucked into Nicholas Kirkwood’s dreamy collaborative shoes (with heels nimbly crafted to call to mind melting wax) seemed perfectly fit for sleepwalking… the focal conception behind their collection.”
Proenza Schouler Baby-Doll Dresses: “While the preponderance of Jack and Laz’s latest collection was built rather directly off of their acclaimed collegiate Pre-Fall showing, the at once buttoned-up (albeit slightly naughty) series of mini baby-doll dresses were forged with a more distorted scholastic mindset: by photocopying prep plaids and manipulating them just so on the copier’s glass so as to eventually render these trippy woven jaquards. If the nuisance of waiting six months for their retail arrival sounds rather disheartening… fear not! Try paring these two ferreted-out eBay treasures (which also embody an akin offbeat, gritty innocence) with thigh-high sheer pantyhose and off-the-wall wooden stacked heels as seen on the Proenza runway.”
