About the brand

Rodarte is an American luxury fashion brand founded in Los Angeles in 2005 by sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy. Named after their mother's maiden name, the brand emerged from humble beginnings when the sisters saved $16,500 to create their first collection of just ten hand-finished pieces. Their debut quickly caught the attention of industry leaders, appearing on the cover of Women's Wear Daily and earning a personal meeting with Vogue's Anna Wintour. Distinguished by their romantic and conceptual approach to design, Kate and Laura draw inspiration from diverse sources including landscape, art, film, poetry, culture, and music. The sisters, who studied art history and literature respectively, consider themselves artists who use clothing as their medium rather than traditional fashion designers. Their meticulous craftsmanship and ethereal aesthetic have earned them numerous industry awards and exhibitions in prestigious museums worldwide, establishing Rodarte as one of America's most acclaimed fashion houses.

Known for its ethereal designs, hand-crafted detail, and couture-level craftsmanship, Rodarte isn't just a brand—it's wearable art.

Rodarte's use of intricate lace and floral motifs brought a dreamlike quality to the gown, which stood out in a sea of darker hues.

All my favourite looks for her have all been from Rodarte for a few years now, even if the styles and colours differ. It's a dream combo! I think her offbeat/edgier styling and personality/vibe contrasts so well with the romanticicsm of the pieces.

Rodarte generally runs small, particularly in the bust and waist. The brand's signature silhouettes—cinched bodices, fitted corsetry, and sculptural dresses—often cater to a narrow torso and petite frame, especially in earlier collections. Many buyers report needing to size up in structured gowns and blouses.

Rodarte is exquisite, exclusive, and expensive—and that makes getting the sizing right absolutely essential.

Rodarte is known for its romantic silhouettes, striking color schemes and feminine adornments — lace, ruffles, bows — and its Spring 2024 collection revels in all these signature elements.
