Collaboration love: Shop Rodarte for Opening Ceremony in Canada!
Photography by Autumn de Wilde
The long-awaited collaboration between design darlings, Laura and Kate Mulleavy, and coolest place on earth, Opening Ceremony, is here! Well, online that is… The sisters channeled a similarly offbeat ‘70s inspiration as their spring 2011 collection into a selection of enviable separates for the label, at slightly lower prices than their own line. Featuring eyelet blazers, drip dyed cardigans, tapestry dresses and too many lace-up motifs to count, the collection screams baby, grandma and cool-girl all at the same time. You can view the collection online now, but if you’d like to shop the pieces in the flesh (or in the lace), they’ll be available exclusively in Canada at Holt Renfrew next month.

Hermès has taken a hint from Burberry‘s Art of the Trench campaign. The French fashion house has just unveiled its J’aime mon carré project, which celebrates the iconic Hermes scarf. A website will soon be launched to feature tips on how to wear and knot the scarf and information on any scarf-related events. [Vogue UK]
The new Lanvin freestanding store in New York–which, with fox fur benches and chandeliers sounds like an absolute retail reverie–officially postponed its opening because of electricity failures, but some well-to-do New Yorkers were allowed to shop by candlelight. [Racked]

Surprise – Rodarte gets their own fashion show at the Olympics. The New York Times magazine asked Kate and Laura Mulleavy to design 13 outfits for athletes, including figure skaters, a ski jumper and snowboarders. Figure skater Johnny Weir will be decked out in head-to-toe crocheted Rodarte; we’re curious to see what the athletes will be wearing as they compete outdoors. [Racked]
Adding to their whirlwind month, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have launched a new denim line, Textile Elizabeth and James. Launching in March, the three-jean collection is ‘70s inspired, both in style and name: there’s the Hendrix, the Stevie and the Joni, all featuring a hippie twist, be it through a high-waist or bellbottom leg. The jeans will be sold exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Intermix with plans to expand the collection to a full lifestyle collection in the fall. [WWD] Read more »
