*블랙스완 드레스를 보다 [ Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte ] States of Matter

여려분은 백조의 아름다움과
흑조의 강렬함 중 어느것이 더 마음에 드시나요?
너무나도 완벽해서 더이상의 자신을
주체하지 못하는 백조에게 백한표를 주고 싶지만
영화가 끝나는 내내 나를 패닉상태로
만들어 버렸던 흑조에게 백두표를 주고 싶다.
호불호가 갈리는 영화이기 하지만
여배우의 열연으로 화제의 영화리스트에 오른
블랙스완.

이 블랙스완의 의상을 담당했던 케이트와 라우라의
'스테이트 오브 매터' 전이 로스앤젤레스
모카에서 열린다.
정말 LA 아니 미쿡에 있다면 꼭보고
싶은데... 누구 다녀와서
왕창 좋은 정보 주실 분 없나요?

Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte received their bachelor's degrees in liberal arts from UC Berkeley in 2001. Following their graduations, they returned to their home in Pasadena and launched Rodarte in 2005. Since then, they have launched 12 collections and won multiple awards, including the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year in 2009.  ''Renowned for its expressive use of textiles,  Rodarte creates unusual works through a highly elaborate and intensive processing and reconstruction of materials. Fabrics are often subjected to unusual, sometimes alchemical methods of alteration— dyed, stretched, stained, burned, or otherwise manipulated—before being reassembled as sculptural ready-to-wear. Materials are woven, knitted, or layered together as assemblages of plaid scraps, vinyl, cheesecloth, wool, cobweb, Swarovski crystals, macramé, leather, and more.''

The exhibition at MOCA will be on display from March 4th until June 5th 2011
