Rodarte is an American clothing brand created in 2005 by sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy. They grew up in California and were interested in fashion from a young age. After graduating from college, they taught themselves design and created their first 10 looks in 2005. They showed their collection in New York City and were quickly picked up by major retailers. Their designs appeared on magazine covers and they won several fashion awards in subsequent years. Rodarte has become known for its unique aesthetic inspired by films and nature.
