Nothing If Not Nineties

February 20, 2018

When a collection is equally inspired by Nirvana’s Nevermind and Lil Kim’s Hardcore you know it’s not going for a minimalist approach. Nicopanda’s Fall/Winter 2018 managed to cram in every 90’s reference possible, whether it was thrift-store style flannels or a pink matching skirt-suit straight from Cher Horowitz’s wardrobe.

Snippets from RuPaul’s eponymous program introduced the show, tying together its multiple references, from the clothes emblazoned with “QUEENS” to the partnership with record label Tommy Boy, responsible for launching the greats such as Afrika Bambaataa and De La Soul, as well as RuPaul.

The show may have felt more like a crew of club kids strutting down a catwalk than one cohesive collection, but with Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga remixes blaring from the speakers, one can assume Nicola Formichetti wanted exactly that.

25 Years of Rodebjer

November 20, 2025

Rodebjer turned 25 this year. In celebration of this anniversary, the brand is launching its new "Love Letter" capsule collection, which empowers the women who have shaped its vision since being founded in 2000. Created in New York and designed for women on the go, the capsule features statement print designs that reimagine the beauty of Victorian love tokens for the 21st century.

Carin Rodebjar said this about the collection, "I took inspiration from American journalist, social activist and anarchist Dorothy Day and her prison dress. She was imprisoned for protesting women’s exclusion for the electorate in front of the White House in 1917, along with 40 women from the same suffrage movement. There is a photo of Dorothy, holding up her prison dress with handwritten names all over it. The Love Letter print echoes Dorothy’s bravery and features names of amazing women who have been leading my way."

Products in this range include a silk scarf, printed tee, canvas tote, and a reinvention of the brand's signature Agave dress. Launching on November 21st, the collection will be available both online at rodebjer.com and in stores.
