A Rodarte Fashion Exhibition Is Coming To Washington D.C.

In honor of its 30th anniversary, the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. is throwing its first-ever fashion exhibition.

For its foray into the fashion scene, the museum selected Rodarte as the subject of its special exhibit. The brand has a unique approach to designing clothes and connections to both the film and art worlds, so museum director Susan Fisher Sterling thought Rodarte designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy would be a perfect fit for the job.

"They work a lot like artists in the sense that they're almost artisanal in the way they produce their work; they somewhat go against the grain of having a really huge schedule of shows. They tend to take time with their collections and they live in L.A. and have an interesting relationship with film and the art scene," Sterling told WWD.

Though the NMWA's Rodarte exhibition isn't slated to open until Fall 2018, there's no doubt it will bring a much-needed fashion escape to Washington.
