Not impressed by those outfits.
Lazaro Hernandez, Jack Mccollough, Kate Mulleavy, Laura Mulleavy, David Neville, and Marcus Wainwright
Take a quick look at the designers driving American fashion—Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler, Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte, and David Neville and Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone—and it’s clear two heads are better than one. “Divide and conquer,” says Neville. “That’s our motto.” Yet working in pairs isn’t the only thing that unites these highly individualized teams. They’re also blazing radical new trails toward redefining cool, whether it’s Proenza’s urgent, innovative polish, Rodarte’s imaginative romanticism, or Rag & Bone’s sporty-street mix.

hollywoodreporterCannes: Rodarte Sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy Directing First Feature (Exclusive)
os Angeles fashion designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy, founders of the Rodarte label, are turning their attention to filmmaking.
The sisters are set to make their feature directorial debut with Woodshock, starring longtime friend Kirsten Dunst. Plot details are being kept under tight wraps, but the storyline is described as an original concept derived from a screenplay written by the duo that's been in development for several years.
Ken Kao's Waypoint Entertainment, which will be in Cannes this year with Gus Van Sant's The Sea of Trees, is financing and producing Woodshock alongside Ben LeClair and Michael Costigan of Cota Films.
In a big show of confidence, A24 Films — known for turning out hip and edgy fare, including current box office hit Ex Machina — has preemptively scooped up theatrical U.S. rights to Woodshock. WME Global brokered the deal.
Bloom, the sales company founded by Kao and Alex Walton, will launch the project to foreign buyers at the Cannes Film Market.
Laura and Kate Mulleavy founded the Los Angeles-based Rodarte label in 2005, and have developed a cult-like following among younger Hollywood actresses, including Dunst, Natalie Portman and the Fanning sisters. They aren't strangers to the film business, having worked as costume designers on Black Swan, the 2010 movie earning Portman an Oscar for best actress.
Those who are close to the pair say they've always had a desire to direct.
Kate and Laura Mulleavy are represented by WME; Dunst is represented by UTA and Management 360.
