Rodarte: CFDA 2009 Womenswear Designer of the Year!


Mulleavy Sisters at CFDA 2009 (style.com)

Mulleavy sisters, Kate and Laura only a year later after being awarded the CFDA Swarovski Emerging Womenswear Designer last June 2008, have done it again! However this year, they took the crown! And today Rodarte stand as the CFDA 2009 Womenswear Designer of the Year award winners! Pretty amazing since they just stepped on the fashion scene only in 2005. But what a remarkable 4 years they have had! With award after award, Women’s Wear Daily (highly coveted) Cover stories, and even a gown acquired into the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, Rodarte is a fashion force to be reckoned with!

And every fashion expert, connoisseur, and just fashion obsessed will agree! Rodarte’s talent resides in the mix of Kate and Laura’s ingenious fashion insights. Their wildly creative, but highly sophisticated view on fashion and creation get translated into forward thinking, trend setting and just pure genius.   From Rodarte's spiderweb hand knits to visions of ombre, to their draped confections, to their avant-garde  patchwork,  each fashion season they all have the editors anxiously awaiting with the same question running through their ever so stylish minds.  What will they create next?  

I can't wait to see their visions for Spring 2010!  But we will all have to wait until September for that!   Until then? Go check out their runway shows on style.com.  They will not disappoint!   Study up on your Rodarte! (Editor-in-Chic's orders *wink wink*) And I will see you on the streets!
