Okay, I admit it. I love seeing the actual prepartion that goes into a collection, where the designers find inspiration, the backstage photos. To me, this makes the actual designs more interesting. Sisters, Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte are designers that consistently let me take a peek into their world and I devour the photos.

Back in July, I posted some images from their Fall 2007 show. Here are some behind-the-scenes images including fittings from the Spring 2008 collection.

Rodarte allows me to be a part of their fantastical vision and I’m happier for it.

When I first heard about Poltock & Walsh and saw pieces of the collection, I got really excited. That is until I tried to access their website which was under construction. After checking several times and getting the same message, I finally gave up, relunctantly content to accept the three images I had seen. That is until I got the urge to check the website on a whim and it is finally up. Maybe the website has been functional for awhile but indulge me in showing some images from their fabulous A/W 2007 collection.

this last one is entirely for WendyB: who I feel is on a mission to bring back the boob-bow and has successfully reintroduced the butt-bow. May I present the back-bow:
