Sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy from Pasadena, California are the designers behind the label 'Rodarte' (their mother's maiden name). These two ladies have tenacity and talent and it shows in their collection for 2008. Their story is one that is very inspiring.
They came to New York in the spring of 2005 with nothing but a few dresses and coats stuffed in their suitcase. A week after arriving, they had shown their collection to almost every major fashion-magazine editor and upscale retail buyer.
