AKIRA Black Label Creates A Wrap Dress Which Echoes Rodarte FW08

Everyone loves themselves a good Rodarte dress, but whom can actually afford one? Certainly not I, since the average tag for one of these beauties hits the ballpark of $13,000.

AKIRA’s Black Label has created a dress that has similar characteristics; it features gold foil fabrics and a peach hued wrap design. While the Dequin Slice Raw dress ($66) is obviously not of runway quality, it is also [approximatley] $12,934 less than the Rodarte design.  Since that is the price of a decent vehicle, I’m willing to look beyond any minimal character flaws.

As a bonus, demiCouture is currently running an exclusive promo code with AKIRA; 20% off your total purchase with the code “DEMI20“.  That means the wrap dress would be $53!

So awesome.

I loved this post, both dresses are gorgeous!
Just one thing, and please don’t think I’m a snob, but it should be “but who can afford one?” not “but whom.”
‘m sorry I’m just really obsessive about grammar.

@Zack: It’s a rarity that I have my grammar chastised, so I shall take it in stride. Well played, sir!

I don’t think Akira ships to Vancouver, Canada.

Sad. Sigh…

@Maria: True, but you can get packages shipped to a receiver. I use Ship Happens in Sumas, and it’s easy peasy!

Awesome! I’ll definitely look into Ship Happens.
Thank you very much! :)
