RODARTE AT THE COOPER-HEWITT NATIONAL DESIGN MUSEUM

Kate and Laura Mulleavy have been making waves in the fashion world since their first collection in 2005. The sisters, who have had no formal fashion design training, have catapulted into the spotlight, thanks to their signature dreamily distressed dresses and collections with influences that range from Japanese horror films to stone. A testament to their immense talent and sculptural abilities, the pair landed an exhibit at The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, running from February 11th to March 14th. The setting for their designs – two parts reminiscent of a home being demolished, one part burned, abandoned building – was a collaboration between the Mulleavys, the Black Frame agency, exhibition designer Matt Mazzuca, and graphic designer Patrick Li.

 

Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, 2 E. 91st St. at Fifth Ave. Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; and Sunday, 12- 6 p.m. Feb. 11-Mar. 14.
