For New York Fashion Week: The Shows February 2022 edition, Baskin Events worked with IMG FOCUS. to produce both The Art of Rodarte and Saks Fifth Avenue’s NYFW kick-off dinner.
The Art of Rodarte (Created Exclusively For NYFW: The Shows with Afterpay) was an immersive retrospective exhibit showcasing the film and design work of Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte. The Art of Rodarte featured twelve Runway looks, spanning from Fall/ Winter 2008 to Spring/ Summer 2022, as well as four gowns from their costume design work for the LA Philharmonic Production of Don Giovanni (Stage design by Frank Gehry) and a series of slip dresses worn by Kirsten Dunst from their feature film debut, Woodshock. The exhibit also featured archival Runway footage, animations of Rodarte sketches from the Academy Award winning film, Black Swan, directed by Darren Aronofsky, which Kate and Laura designed and created the ballet costumes for, as well as holograms of character costumes from the culminating final act of Illumination’s Sing 2.
