Rodarte's aesthetic influences have evolved since the label's establishment, with their evolution described in 2010 as "darker, their clothing riskier, more deconstructed, punk, and gothic. Each collection has been stranger than the last, influenced by [[anime]] and [[horror films]], and elements of S & M culture."<ref name=behind/> In an article published by ''[[The New Yorker]]'', the label was described as "the fashion equivalent of a [[Jean-Michel Basquiat|Basquiat]]. People in the know really love it, but to everyone else it’s inscrutable or a little bit ugly."<ref name=behind/>

Rodarte is an American brand of clothing and accessories founded and headquartered[1] in Los Angeles, California by sisters Katherine Marie "Kate" Mulleavy (born February 11, 1979)[2] and Laura Mulleavy (born August 31, 1980).[3]

Rodarte has received a number of fashion industry awards since the line's inception in 2005.[4][5] In addition to their main fashion line, the sisters have also collaborated with Gap and Target on limited edition pieces.[6]

Founders

Katherine Mulleavy was born February 11, 1979, in Alameda County, California, and her sister, Laura, was born August 31, 1980, in Pasadena, California.[2][3] Their mother, Victoria Rodart, is of Mexican-Italian ancestry, and their father, William Perry Mulleavy, is a mycologist of Irish descent.[7][8] Both sisters attended the University of California, Berkeley with Laura studying English literature and Kate studying art history.[1]

In 2010, the Mulleavy sisters had their first foray into film, collaborating with costume designer Amy Westcott on some of the costumes for the movie Black Swan.[9] In May 2015, the sisters announced that they had written a film script entitled Woodshock which was purchased by distribution company A24.[10]

History

In 2002 after graduating from college, the Mulleavy sisters returned home to Aptos, California, where they spent the intervening years saving up twenty thousand dollars in order to create a capsule collection.[11] They both credit their West Coast upbringing as a major source of inspiration for their collections. The natural American landscape is of particular inspiration to the sisters.[12] The label "Rodarte" is the original Spanish pronunciation and spelling of their mother's maiden name, "Rodart."[13] After their initial collection of just 10 pieces, the Mulleavys appeared on the cover of Women's Wear Daily and had a meeting with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.[5] In the spring of 2007, the label released a line of limited-edition exclusive shirts in collaboration with Gap.[14] In December 2009, the label released another separate line of limited-edition pieces in collaboration with Target.[6]

Rodarte's aesthetic influences have evolved since the label's establishment, with their evolution described in 2010 as "darker, their clothing riskier, more deconstructed, punk, and gothic. Each collection has been stranger than the last, influenced by anime and horror films, and elements of S & M culture."[1] In an article published by The New Yorker, the label was described as "the fashion equivalent of a Basquiat. People in the know really love it, but to everyone else it’s inscrutable or a little bit ugly."[1]

Museums and exhibitions

Backstage at Fall 2008 Rodarte fashion show

Rodarte is in the permanent collections of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,[15][16] the Fashion Institute of Technology Museum in New York,[17] the Los Angeles County Museum of Art,[7] and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.[18] 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.[19][20][21][22]

In 2008, Rodarte was featured in Artforum, making the Mulleavy sisters the first fashion designers to be featured in the magazine since Issey Miyake in 1982.[23][24] In February 2010, Rodarte had their first solo-exhibition, at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum (the design branch of the Smithsonian Institution).[25]

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.[26]

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.[27]

In 2011, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) acquired the Rodarte Spring 2012 couture collection.[28] LACMA displayed the renaissance-inspired clothing in their Italian renaissance gallery, alongside Italian renaissance artworks, in the exhibition Rodarte: Fra Angelico Collection from December 2011 to February 2012.[29]
