Museums and Exhibitions
Rodarte is in the permanent collections of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Fashion Institute of Technology Museum in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.[6] Rodarte was featured in the fall 2007 exhibit BLOGMODE at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, as well as several exhibits at The Museum at FIT including Luxury in spring 2007, Gothic: Dark Glamour in fall 2008, and American Beauty: Aesthetics & Innovation in Fashion in spring 2010. Arnhem Fashion Biennale featured Rodarte vignettes in July 2007, 2009 and 2011. In 2013, the Boston Museum of Fine Art featured their Blue and White Embroidered Spring 2011 Dress and Printed shoes. For the 2013 Punk: Chaos to Couture Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute show, 4 looks of Rodarte's Spring 2009 and Fall 2008 Collections were on display.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
In February 2010, Rodarte had their first solo-exhibition, at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum (the design branch of the Smithsonian Institute) and were the first fashion designers in 20 years to be reviewed in Artforum.[13]
In May 2011, Rodarte contributed artworks to the Los Angeles County Museum of Arts Cell Phone Stories project. Their contribution included sketches based on artworks held in the LACMA's permanent collection.[14]
In February 2011, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles opened Rodarte: States of Matter, the first West Coast museum exhibition of the Rodarte's fashion and costume designs from Fall 2008, Spring 2010, Fall 2010 and pieces from The Black Swan.[15]
In December 2011, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art acquired the Rodarte Spring 2012 Couture Collection that was first displayed at Pitti Imagine in Florence, Italy. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents the pieces in an exhibition, titled “Rodarte: Fra Angelico Collection”, from December 17 to February 5, 2012. Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the California born and bred sisters behind Rodarte, found inspiration in Italian Renaissance art for the collection, specifically High Roman Baroque sculptor Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini’s “The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa," as well as early Renaissance painter Fra Angelico’s frescoes in the monks’ cells at the Convent of San Marco. LACMA is displaying the gowns against works from the same period that inspired them—including the circa 1491–95 painting by the Master of the Fiesole Epiphany, “Christ on the Cross With Saints Vincent Ferrer, John the Baptist, Mark, and Antoninus”—in the museum’s Italian Renaissance gallery.[16]
In March 2014, Rodarte's designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy spoke at the Boston Museum of Fine Art in a Lecture called: Rodarte- A California Art and Design Language. They have given previous talks at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Hammer Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art[17]
Celebrities
Natalie Portman, Keira Knightly, Cate Blanchett, Kirsten Dunst, and Michelle Obama often wear Rodarte clothing.[18][19] Rodarte has been featured on the cover of American Vogue Magazine seven times.[18]
Special Projects
In 2009, Rodarte created a limited edition line for Target as a part of GO International.[20] Tavi Gevinson, the then 13-year-old style blogger, was the guest commentator for this collection.
In 2010 Rodarte collaborated on the short films Aanteni and The Curve of Forgotten Things, both by director Todd Cole, which were shown at the 2011 Rotterdam Film Festival.[21][22][23][24]
In January 2010, Rodarte was subject of a New Yorker profile, written by Amanda Fortini.[25]
In 2010, Rodarte designed the American and International re-release posters for Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless. They also designed limited edition t-shirts celebrating the International Herald Tribune Logo and the posters themselves. The collaboration and re-release was celebrated at the American Embassy in Paris.[26]
For Spring and Fall 2011, Rodarte collaborated on collections with Opening Ceremony.[27][28]
In the spring of 2011, Rodarte's work was featured in a cover story for the Italian art publication, Flash Art. Kate and Laura Mulleavy were interviewed by artist Maurizio Cattelan.[29]
On June 16, 2011 Rodarte unveiled a site-specific installation in Florence showcasing ten new couture pieces created exclusively on the occasion of the 8th edition of Pitti W. The collection was then donated to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to be housed in its permanent collection. Their first monograph, entitled Rodarte Catherine Opie Alec Soth was also launched at Pitti W. Catherine Opie and Alec Soth were commissioned to shoot original content featuring their work and the landscape of California. The book retails for $80.00 and is of a limited edition of 2000 copies.[30][31]
In 2011, Kate and Laura Mulleavy authored their first book titled: Rodarte, Catherine Opie, Alec Soth. Rodarte worked with art photographers Catherine Opie and Alec Soth to photograph their clothing and landscape inspirations within California. The book is published by JRP and designed by Li, Inc. [32]
In July 2010, Rodarte's collaboration with Make-up Art Cosmetics, inspired by Ciudad Juárez, sparked controversy. Many found the collection names, such as "Factory", "Juarez", and "Ghost Town", insensitive to the rampant crime against women in Ciudad Juarez.[33] The collection was originally set to be launched in September, but on August 17, MAC announced the cancellation of the collection.[34]
In December 2012, Rodarte collaborated with Starbucks on a holiday collection.
In the summer of 2013, Rodarte collaborated on a third short film, This Must Be The Only Fantasy, with filmmaker Todd Cole.[35]
Costume Design
Rodarte designed the ballet costumes for the Het National Ballet which premiered on October 15, 2010 in Amsterdam. The ballet is choreographed by Benjamin Millepied and scored by Nico Muhly.[36]
In October 2010, Rodarte collaborated with artist Brody Condon to design the costumes for MOVE! at MoMA PS1. The project was acquired by the LACMA, and reinterpreted by Brody and Rodarte for a larger performance on April 28, 2011.[37][38]
Rodarte designed the ballet costumes for the New York City Ballet Spring Gala which premiered on May 10, 2012 in New York City. The ballet, "Two Hearts", was choreographed by Benjamin Millepied and scored by Nico Muhly.[39]
Rodarte created opera costumes for Mozart's Don Giovanni which opened at the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Walt Disney Concert Hall. The sets were designed by Frank Gehry, directing by Christopher Alden, and with conductor, Gustavo Dudamel. The show ran from May 18, 2012 (debut) and ended May 26, 2012. It starred Mariusz Kwiecien as Don Giovanni.[40]
In September 2012, Rodarte designed costumes for Benjamin Millepied's Moving Parts for the LA Dance Project. The score was made by Nico Muhly and sets by Christopher Wool.[41]
Amy Westcott is credited as the costume designer for the 2010 drama film Black Swan, and received several award nominations. Nominated for Best Costume Design for the 2011 Critics' Choice Movie Awards, Kate and Laura Mulleavy designed the costumes for both the Swan Lake ballet in Black Swan, as well as other pieces worn by Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in the film. The Rodarte credit for the film reads Ballet Costumes Designed by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte as they designed the Swan Lake ballet within the film and key costumes worn by Natalie Portman, including her white gown, white scarf, and grey practice tutu. Their work landed on the cover of Flash Art, an Italian art publication, and in the MOCA of Los Angeles.[42][43][44][45][46] A publicized controversy arose regarding the question who had designed 40 ballet costumes for Portman and the dancers. An article in the British The Independent suggested those costumes had actually been created by the Mulleavy sisters.[47] Westcott challenged that view and stated that in all only 7 costumes, among them the black and white swan, had been created in a collaboration between Rodarte, Westcott, and Aronofsky. Furthermore, the costumes for the ballet corps were designed by Zack Brown (for the American Ballet Theater), and slightly adapted by Westcott and her costume design department. Westcott said: "Controversy is too complimentary a word for two people using their considerable self-publicising resources to loudly complain about their credit once they realised how good the film is."[48]
Awards
Rodarte was nominated for its first CFDA Swarovski Emerging Womenswear Designer award in June 2006, followed by another nomination in 2007. Rodarte was awarded the CFDA Swarovski Emerging Womenswear Designer in June 2008. Rodarte was then awarded the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year Award in June 2009.

They were the first women to win the award and the first winners from outside Europe.[citation needed] The jury for the prize included New York fashion designer Patricia Field. In a radio interview[49] just after they received their accolade[50] Kate and Laura Mulleavy said their sibling relationship is critical to their work and their success.
