Rodarte, Tavi, and Target Team Up on Video
Released on 12/08/2009
[Tavi] My name's Tavi from Style Rookie.
And I'm going to introduce you to Rodarte.
Hi!
Oh my god, you look cute.
[Tavi] Thank you, you too, mom.
How old are you?
[Tavi] I'm thirteen.
Hi!
[Tavi] Backstage.
I think real style is just being unique
and taking inspiration in the clothes
from all different kinds of places.
Kim Gordon.
Jason Schwartzman.
Kirsten Dunst.
[laughs] Hi!
[Tavi] Don't you guys have that, like,
horror movie club or something?
Yeah, we have a rolling horror night
where we get together and watch horror movies.
[Tavi] What's your favorite thing about Rodarte?
Um, them?
[Tavi] Yeah [laughs].
What's the most exciting thing for you
about the collaboration with Target?
We wanna be able to bring something to a larger audience
that also reflects what our design aesthetic is
and where our voice is.
This is one of my favorite pieces.
Especially in this 60s mustard color.
I might wear this every day, which is kinda gross, but.
The Rodarte for Target collectsion
is inspired by three movies, right?
Yeah.
[Tavi] From Harold and Maude, Boonie and Clyde,
and Rosemary's baby.
You kinda have a Mia Farrow thing going on.
[Tavi] Yeah, that's what people say.
Yeah, totally.
[Tavi] So that freaked me out.
But I mean, I don't think I look like her.
But I wish.
[Kate] All three of those films had a huge impact
on Laura and I as kids.
And they're films that you remember seeing
for the first time.
[Tavi] It looks like it's vintage.
Like a special vintage dress.
[Tavi] Yeah.
Like that no-one else has, right?
I like this and I like how they styled it
with the blue and white stripe tee shirt underneath.
[Tavi] Yeah.
I think that the pleated tulle skirt is really amazing.
I think it's a fantastic revolution of what Rodarte does
for the Target audience.
I think it looks very wearable and very age appropriate
for, probably, a range of women.
[Tavi] I love the printed tee shirts as well.
They said that it was inspired by a kimono
that their mom had.
One of my other favorites is this,
like, kind of mohair-ish
vest.
One of the other movies that inspired them
was Bonnie and Clyde.
And this is totally, like,
[mumbles] the West and getting into trouble.
Like Bonnie and Clyde.
[Tavi] What do you like the most
about doing the ad campaign here,
in kind of the middle of nowhere?
It's so beautiful and
it just seemed like the only place we would go.
And it's one of those places
that everyone should go to, I think.
Because it just changes your perspective on how you live.
[Laura] For us, North Dakota,
it's kinda the grand American landscape.
[Kate] Yeah.
