Rodarte Pour Homme

I love it when forward designers like Kate and Laura Milleavy, the sisters behind the prêt-à-porter powerhouse Rodarte, release menswear. Rodarte was well known by the industry and has slowly but surely become a household name with the masses after a successful launch for Target's GO International line. The loose knit seen in the womenswear has become a signature look for the brand.

It pleases me to see their signature knits for men. I am constantly yearning for a wearable, male version to so many collections that are just as forward and relevant as their female counterparts. When Rodarte released an affordably chic line for Target, I had finally had enough! But with the release of the unmistakably Rodarte men's knitwear, I think we were thrown a bone.

  1. I knew this day would come but I have to say I'm a little dissapointed! Yes it's menswear but I wish they would have done more contrast in the looseness of the knit, like the RTW.

  2. They have to start somewhere! But I agree. They should have done something looser; something that covers more area... something like your creations!!
