Kate and Laura Mulleavy
Kate and Laura Mulleavy are American designers and the founders of the fashion label Rodarte.
Early life
The sisters were born to Victoria Rodart and William Perry Mulleavy.
Both sisters attended the University of California, Berkeley with Laura studying English literature and Kate studying art history.[1] After graduation in 2002 the sisters returned home where they spent the intervening years saving up twenty thousand dollars in order to create a capsule collection.
Career
The label Rodarte is the original Spanish pronunciation and spelling of their mother's maiden name, "Rodart".[2] After their initial collection of just 10 pieces, the Mulleavys appeared on the cover of Women's Wear Daily and had a meeting with U.S. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.[3]
In 2010 they collaborated with costume designer Amy Westcott on some of the costumes for the movie Black Swan.[4]
Directing career
In May of 2015 the sisters announced that they had written a film script entitled Woodshock which was purchased by distribution company A24.[5] Kirsten Dunst was attached to star in the lead role with a planned release for summer of 2016.
