Rodarte and MAC Mexican inspired Fall collection (UPDATED 7/20)

The Mulleavy sisters of Rodarte  (who by the way are of Mexican descent) have collaborated with MAC  to create a collection, which launches on September 15.  It is inspired by Mexico's colors and culture, and the products are named accordingly. For example, one pink blush is called Quinceañera, while a sheer white lipstick is called Ghost Town and even a frosty pink nail polish called Juarez.

They said that a drive from El Paso to Marfa TX inspired their fall 2010 collection which in turns inspired the makeup collection.  The pale look of the models on their runway (think Karen Elson walking the altar inspired runway in a "sarape" inspired sweater with dark eyes and super pale skin) had a feeling of a "dia de los muertos" art installation. Even some of the evening wear was inspired by "Quinceñeras".    I'm looking forward to the line and here are some just released pictures of the products.

******UPDATE.
After many complaints against MAC's use of the word "Juarez," MAC released the following:
We understand that product names in the M·A·C Rodarte collection have offended some of our consumers and fans. This was never our intent and we are very sorry. We are listening carefully to the comments posted and are grateful to those of you who have brought your concerns to the forefront of our attention. M·A·C will give a portion of the proceeds from the M·A·C Rodarte collection to help those in need in Juarez. We are diligently investigating the best way to do this. Please be assured that we will keep you posted on the details regarding our efforts.

 ********ANOTHER UPDATE:
Today MAC sent around an e-mail to editors saying that they planned to change the names of products in the Rodarte collection coming out in September.  Yes bloggers you spoke out and MAC took notice!

In case you don't know, Juarez (or Ciudad Juarez, Mexico) is the site of widespread poverty and violence, including an infamous series of unsolved murders of female factory workers (maquiladoras). The violence generated by the narco wars translated into some 6,000 killings in 2008. More than 1,600 of them occurred in Juárez, three times more than the most murderous city in the United States. And that number of killings increased to 2,600 in 2009.

*************YET ONE MORE UPDATE
 MAC has canceled the Rodarte line!

And here's the show that inspired it all:
