Love Rodarte?

Kate and Laura Mulleavy will be at Barneys NY tomorrow to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the movie Breathless:

“Rodarte has created 4 limited-edition tees and 2 limited-edition posters inspired by the film, available exclusively at Barneys starting this week! Join us on the 2nd floor of the Madison store from 1-3 PM on Tuesday, June 8, to meet the Rodarte sisters with their new tees and posters, to be followed by a Rodarte trunk show from 10-6 PM. Make sure to nab a poster during their appearance, since there are only 100 posters signed by the Rodarte sisters.”

I’m sad I’m going to have to miss it. Tuesday is quite a busy day for me, and I’ve already got plans that afternoon.
Super jealous of anyone that gets to go! If you do, let us know.

April’s Best Events

Timo Weiland Spring 2010 event! via Refinery29.

In New York, there is always something going on. If you’re like me, and like to plan things out in advance to avoid your schedule getting crazy, it’s good to have fair warning of what is happening when. I’ve rounded up some of the best April events, gathered from all around the web. More will be added, as they materialize.

Housing Work’s famous Warehouse Sale is continuing this Saturday, and the next:

Henry Horenstein’s “Show” opened this week at Clic Gallery

Betsey Johnson spring sample sale, starting April 14th:

Lee Angel jewelry sample sale starts the same day:

Cynthia Steffe’s sample sale is April 15th:

And of course you can’t forget, the 24hour Zac Posen for Target shopping party starts April 15th!

The new Chelsea Market Anthropologie location opens April 16th!

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent for Target Africa inspired shoe collection launches April 18th!

Rodarte Sample sale: I’m skipping this, since the last sale was a bit disappointing. Only a handful of items were available, with most still priced over $900. But it may be worth checking out, just in case.

Don’t forget to RSVP to receive an appointment time!

Barney’s CO-OP Trunk-a-Palooza is April 21st:

From 2pm-8pm. “Enjoy exclusive products from CO-OP designers like Helmut Lang, Rag+Bone, Richard Chai, ALC, Vena Cava, Alexander Wang and more.. Meet the designers and shop their Fall 2010 lines!”

Tavi Interviews The Mulleavy’s

The video Tavi made behind the scenes at the Rodarte for Target press preview is finally out! Style.com just posted the video, which features Tavi interviewing the Mulleavy sisters and various fashion editors, and talking about the line’s inspiration and her favorite pieces:

A few of the pieces I noticed missing from the look book are shown in this video, making me all the more excited for the line’s December 20th release!

Holiday Sample Sales

Earlier today, I attended the Rodarte sample sale. Unfortunately, I came home empty handed. The knits were priced well over my budget, and the studded leather gloves I’d been lusting over were nowhere to be found (nor were the studded Louboutins). It was amazing to see and touch pieces in person, but until the day I can afford a hand knit cardigan, I’ll be saving all my Rodarte money for the Target collab. Speaking of, the lookbook just went live at The Cut.

Luckily there are plenty of other upcoming sales if you have money to burn, or are itching for a new holiday dress and can’t wait until the 20th for the Target release:

Going on Now:
The l.a.m.b handbag sale is now extended until Saturday, with some items 50% off the sample sale price. New stock is said to be arriving today.

Target To Go

Last night Racked broke the news that a Target pop up shop featuring holiday gifts, and some of the new Rodarte for Target pieces will make an appearance in NYC’s meatpacking district next week. Now Fashionista is reporting that the pop up will grace not only NYC, but Washington D.C and San Francisco as well! Yesterday I was reassured by Target’s PR department that official images will be out next week. But I can’t wait to finally see some of the pieces in person!

The pop up launches with a press preview on Thursday, and will be open to the public from December 11-13th, 10am-8pm. According to Fashionista, the locations are as follows:

“New York: Gansevoort Street & Washington (at the High Line)
Washington D.C.: M Street & Wisconsin Avenue (Georgetown)
San Francisco: 5th Street between Market & Mission (Mint Plaza)”

I’m so excited that Target is continuing the tradition of pop up shops in nyc! If the holiday/Rodarte pop up is anything like the Anna Sui for Target store I went to during fashion week (where I met Anna Sui herself!), or the Bullseye Bodega, it should be amazing.

Edit: A few of the official images recently showed up on InStyle:

Also just in case you missed it: There is a Rodarte sample sale tomorrow! (I’m going, so expect a full report later this week!) I hear it’s rather booked, but it might be possible to still make an appt. Info here.
