What’s in store for Spring
At Rodes For Her!
Spring has sprung! We are celebrating the season by introducing Akris Punto and Lela Rose to Rodes. What amazing additions!
Take a peek into the trends that’ll make the Spring-Derby season a glamorous one:
Back to Basics - Focusing on a wardrobe full of high quality staples has been at the forefront of fashion. Clean lines and beautiful materials are anything but boring. Leather Weather - Nothing works better for transitional dressing quite like a classic leather jacket. This spring you’ll see leather beyond outerwear in pieces like skirts and dresses.
Bubble Trouble - The return of the 90s is stepping aside for a resurgence of the 80s in a major way. Think drop waists and exaggerated skirts of all lengths for spring. Heavy Metal - While gold and silver are commonplace for fall and winter, this year shimmering sequins and metallic appliqués will be moving with us into spring. Seeing Red - Shades of saffron were all over the runways for the Spring 2023 season. With everything from striking head to toe suiting to easy to wear dresses, this is a color you won’t want to miss
The season brings with it many of our favorite reasons to celebrate: Derby, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduations and weddings!
We look forward to working with you so you look your best for all of life’s special occasions.

Graziela Kaufman
Brazilian Born and Inspired
Graziela hand-designs every piece, a practice she learned from her grandfather. She grew up in Brazil learning about many of the natural resources the country has to offer. Her backyard was a ‘gemological treasure’. She traveled to many different mining towns throughout Brazil learning about the fascinating history behind every stone that would ultimately be the inspiration for her future creations.
“When it comes to formulating my collections, precious stones are my guiding light. It’s a reliable and truthful route!” explains Graziela. She received a diploma from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), confirming her practical credentials, and founded her own jewelry brand: Graziela Gems. Graziela Kaufman produces some of the most sought-after jewelry in the world. Combining Italian craftsmanship and Brazilian flare, Graziela’s pieces are adored by celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Roberts. and many more.

Bonaldi
Celebrates Her Culture In Her Unique Designs
Although PatBO started off as a side hustle when Patricia Bonaldi was in law school, the passion project she originally envisioned as a young lawyer rapidly became a lucrative business, signaling the end of her law career. She was determined to interlace the success of her business with the talent of her local community. “The community of artisans who knew how to embroider didn’t think their talent was something beautiful or worth sharing,” she shares. My goal was to switch that mindset and remind my community of the beauty within their work.” Over the years, the PatBO brand has become
synonymous with its prints and bold color patterns, signature cut-out dresses, and embellished separates. And through its success, Bonaldi has always stayed focused on her early mission: to help the world see Brazil as a hub for artisanal talent.

Emily Smith
The Woman Behind Lafayette 148 NY
An Atlanta native, Emily Smith was enthralled by fashion from a very young age, which led her to Savannah College of Art and Design. She joined Lafayette 148 New York in 2002 as a Design Assistant. Since then, her warm, collaborative design approach, technical mastery, and gift for perfecting a garment from the inside out propelled her rise to Creative Director for the brand. From trend forecasting to developing each collection, to traveling the globe in search of the finest fabrics, Emily has helped guide Lafayette 148 New York to a new level of luxury—and built a gifted team to chart the brand’s next chapter. With the #L148Resort23 collection, Emily serenely explores the endless possibilities of the seasonal
wardrobe from her atelier at the heart of the Brooklyn Naval Yard. Confidently riffing on the aesthetic and stylistic hallmarks of the 1990s –the time and place that birthed the brand – the collection sees Smith establish her coolly precise vision for the house’s modern iteration.

I am so excited about Lela Rose! Before becoming a fashion designer she was trained as a painter and sculptor, so her silhouettes and prints have such a sophisticated point of view.
