Line We Heart: Radenroro [Interview Included]

Indonesian-born designer Liquica Anggraini is the brains behind cult womenswear label, Radenroro. Focusing on fashion forward design, whilst simultaneously retaining a timeless appeal, ensures each piece withstands fleeting seasonal trends.

Fall/Winter 2011 sees a collection full of beautifully executed, feminine designs, offset with unexpected elements. Demure, lady like midi dresses are backless, whilst separates come layered for a mix and match look.

As well the innovative collections which are being produced each season, the brand also display a refreshing take on the design process. With each step from design to manufacturing being completed in the heart of New York City, customers can be assured that each piece is of the highest possible quality.

After being featured on the new reality show, ‘All on the Line, featuring Elle Magazines’ very own Joe Zee, the brand now counts Nordstrom as a stockist of their much-coveted line. Taking this into account it perhaps comes as no surprise that Radenroro are already enjoying a huge amount of, much deserved, success.

BTW Radenroro gave us an exclusive sneak peek at their new handbags! Don’t forget to check them out below!

Q: What were your influences for the Fall/Winter season?

A: The best way to understand our influence is to check out the editorial look book on our website. The phrase “Raden Roro” in Indonesian (Liquica’s native language) translates literally to “little princess”. With this in mind, you’ll often see our looks mix sophistication with playful and youthful touches. Our prints are a great example of this. Each season we’ve themed them around objects that are special or significant in a girl’s life. Last spring we did a diamond print that was really popular, this fall we did our Teddy Bear print, and for S/S 2012 we are continuing the theme with an abstract unicorn themed print.  Working with Joe Zee on Sundance’s All on the Line show was also helpful as it encouraged us to really embrace these concepts and run with our ideas.

Catwalk to Sidewalk: Gucci Spring 2011


Colorblocking is a strong trend seen on the Spring runways of Gucci, Jill Sander, Prabal Gurung, Dior and more. The idea of is to pair two or more colors in an ensemble, whether it be a pre-colorblocked dress consisting of two different shades or colorful solids you piece together. The best way to pull this off is to make sure all separates are solid and stay clear of any prints.

Afraid of the trend? It’s okay! You can colorblock the top portion of your out fit and stick to solid bottoms; Try pairing black skinny jeans with something like a yellow blazer, blue silk top and pink shoe. Of course the colors are totally interchangeable and completely up to you.  Let us know if you’ve been colorblocking and share your tips!

Sartorial Spotlight: Hailee Steinfeld

Hailee Steinfeld’s breakout role in the film True Grit portrayed a tough, little girl with a serious mission. While we’re not sure if Steinfeld is a tough, gun-toting cookie in real life, we know one thing and its that her style is just as adorable and sweet as her cute little face. The buzz around this girl started when she was spotted wearing Spring ’11 Prabal Gurung and Prada during award season earlier this year and at only 14 years-old she’s won the hearts of designers who love dressing her and fashion critics alike. We can’t wait to see more of Hailee and just like the rest of the fashion world, we’re excited to see how her style transitions with age.
