Rodarte joins the digital revolution.
You can buy most things online (even issues of NYLON!), but despite our booming virtual reality, some people are still shy about the whole click-and-get scenario - people like Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the sister act behind Rodarte.
Their wispy, sci-fi clothing confections hit red carpets, society balls, and the closets of very lucky girls on a regular basis. But despite dressing very modern women like Jenny Lewis and Natalie Portman, the Rodarte team has never taken the very modern step of selling their clothes online... until now.
Thanks to some coaxing by Opening Ceremony, Rodarte slowly rolls out its Spring '09 collection to digital fans. Already available: their iconic spider tights, and a cool leather bomber that's entirely handcrafted in America.
Now we just need a Rodarte diffusion line to bring down those $1500+ price points, and the leap from virtual to actual reality will be blissfully current - and complete.

Buy Rodarte at Opening Ceremony.
Or if you can't afford it, they've got cool nail polish, too.
