Rodarte x Target Giveaway

The (in)famous Tavi Gevinson had a Rodarte for Target giveaway on her blog a month or two ago, and I was fortunate enough to win one of the sweaters she gave away. This is what I wrote to win:

"the clothes the mulleavy sisters make look like some kind of evanescent floating magic that's chosen to sit on your body because it wants to- and might take flight any second. Their clothes remind me of swimming in a river where decaying leaves turn the water red, listening to punk rock while driving around with all the windows open in the cold, and exploring abandoned hospital buildings. Basically, these clothes remind me of how imagination and thinking outside the confines of every day life can allow you to experience life in ways you never thought possible. Pretentious as hayl, i know. BTW your blog is fun to read!"

Rodarte has been an obsession of mine since I read a feature on the Mulleavy sisters in the New York Times' "T" Women's Fashion magazine a few years ago, called Scissor Sisters, by Mark Jacobs (no, not that one). I was largely disappointed in their Target collaboration, mainly because it looked nothing like their high fashion collections - the subpar quality was just to be expected (it is Target).

I'll add pictures once I find my camera charger.
