Rodarte at Nordstroms

Sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, both barely 30, are better known as the Rodarte, the high fashion brand favorited by celebrities like Cate Blancheet, Natialie Portman and our Mrs. President. The camera shy sisters are bringing their 2010 collection to Nordstrom this week. On Thursday, April 29th, the sisters will be promoting the line with a rare public appearance at the Nordstrom in downtown Seattle, WA.

Style.com's Nicole Phelps, who attended the 2010 show wrote, "The show ended with a quartet of ethereal, unraveling, rather beautiful white dresses that alternately called to mind quinceañera parties, corpse brides, and, if you wanted to look at it through a really dark prism, the ghosts of the victims of Juárez's drug wars."

For those of you in the area:

Nordstrom
500 Pine St., Seattle, WA 98101
Thursday, April 29 from Noon-2 p.m.

For those of us who aren't, we can check out the Rodarte collection online.

Fashion's Night Out

One of the biggest fashion shows, Fashion's Night Out, will be taking place at the Lincoln Center in New York City on September 10th this fall. This event features over 200 models and over 1,500 invitees. 

If you weren't invited, tickets go on sale later this summer and the proceeds from the sale will help benefit The New York City AIDS fund.  If you can't make the event in person (like yours truly), this year's even will be broadcast on CBS in a one-hour fashion special on September 15th (set a reminder to set your DVRs).

Fashion's Night Out was started last year by Anna Wintour, the most powerful woman in fashion (and otherwise known as the "Devil" from The Devil Wears Prada).  Its objective was to save help boost the industry and the economy from the recession:  stores stayed open for a few more hours and people got to meet-and-greet celebrities and designers alike.
