This week’s style inspiration was a no brainer, because if we get deep into it, The Wizard of Oz was never about going home – it was about shoes.  On our side of the rainbow, sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte may have been snubbed from the Costume Design category for Black Swan at the Oscars, but it was their Fall 2011 collection (wheat hems and all) that first got us pining for Dorothy Gale’s sepia backyard. And the girls know their Oz, because the sparkling red cocktail dresses at show’s end brought the collection home.  Gucci’s layover in The Emerald City did its constituents proud with a deep emerald gown, a more muted version of Angelina Jolie’s glittering Versace dress from the Golden Globes. Bottom line: Fashion is better in Technicolor, just don’t let it get to your little dog, too. (We mean you Isaac Mizrahi!)
