DIY Rodarte

Rodarte is just so hot right now. Finally, a line of clothes that successfully brings the Bay Area's Art to Wear movement to Manhattan.

Their F/W 2009 line is probably the most unqualified success of New York Fashion Week so far. (Yes, I have connections who are there documenting the happenings under the tents so that I can live vicariously...or in jealousy.)

My friend Kalin has come up with a truly chic craft project that she swears anyone can do. DO try this at home!

First the original...


And now, Kalin's homemade version...


It's cheaper, it's fun, it's clearly a win.
