Rodarte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kate and Laura Mulleavy founded Rodarte in the fall of 2005.[1] Since that time, the company has received a number of awards in the fashion industry. The line was founded in Pasadena, and named after their mother's maiden name, following their graduation from U.C. Berkeley.[2]
After an initial collection of 10 pieces in New York City, the founders appeared on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, and had a meeting with Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue.[2]
Since that time, the company has received a number of awards in the fashion industry, and also, amazing support from retailers including Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys New York, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Ikram, Jeffrey, and Colette.
Their pieces have been seen on celebrities such as Cate Blanchett[3], Kirsten Dunst[4], Keira Knightley[5], and Dita von Teese.[6]
