Kate and Laura Mulleavy
Elsa Schiaparelli saw fashion as art and was often influenced by and collaborated with artists. The same can be said of Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy. If they did ever decide to take over a fashion house,–though it doesn’t really seem like their style–we could definitely see it being this one. They also have Anna Wintour’s endorsement. In a New Yorker article from 2010, she said, “The Mulleavys (Rodarte) are ripe for a house who might be looking for a designer. A place like Schiaparelli, which is just sitting there waiting for the economy to be better — I think they’d be perfect for that.”
