Rodarte Presents Inspiring Collection
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Women,
Actress Kirsten Dunst has praised Rodarte’s “inspiring” Spring/Summer ‘10 collection.
The actress was seated in the front row, alongside Elijah Wood and Jason Schwartzman, for the New York Fashion Week show, which was themed around darkness and survival.
On a smoke-filled, pebble-strewn catwalk, models showcased a series of garments featuring cobweb-like leather, ribbon and lace detailing and crystal and feather adornments.
Speaking afterwards, Kirsten said, “They’re incredibly inspiring, and their clothes are always inspiring.”
Who ever knew that Kirsten Dunst was inspired by anything!

Rodarte Sisters Have Eyes for Film
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Women,
Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the brains and heart behind Rodarte, have an eye for more than fashion.
Horror film fans themselves (think Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead, and Hellraiser), the sisters have ventured into the media world, signing with William Morris Endeavor Entertainment.
In a statement released by the Beverly Hills-based agency, they plan to “advise the label on opportunities in publishing and film and identify potential strategic partnerships and sponsorships.”
In light of fashion-meets-film’s success with the Vogue-centric The September Issue, I have no doubt that the Rodarte sisters will outperform our expectations in whatever endeavors they pursue in publishing and film—I just can’t wait!
Rodarte’s PR agency since 2005, Black Frame, is expected to continue with the brand’s global marketing.

Rodarte to Put Out Target Line

The fashion phenomenon known as Rodarte will soon be adding its name to the long list of houses that have created a diffusion line for Target.
Headed by the fabulous Mulleavy sisters, the couture-meets-edgy designs usually range in the thousands (per piece)—quite a far cry from the expected $9.99-$79.99 going for the Target line.
Target spokesman Joshua Thomas has assured potential buyers that they are not to be disappointed:
“What you’ll notice is an amazing eye for detail. It’s very feminine, yet very modern. The collection incorporates a rich mix of patterns and fabrications and everything from sequins and bows to faux fur. The key with Rodarte is layering… There are stand-alone pieces and pieces that can be worn together to create an ensemble by layering different patterns, textures and prints.”
A favorite of celebrities Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman, the diffusion line is due to hit stores December 20th and be available until February 6th, with a total of 55 pieces.
