Celebrity-beloved fashion line Rodarte celebrated a cool collaboration with & Other Stories last night in L.A. with a little help from co-host Dakota Fanning. 

The setting for the dinner was the private home of Elliott Hundley and Alphaeus Taylor. Those who gathered at the home to celebrate the co-lab included Rodarte founders Kate and Laura Mulleavy, Fanning, Katy Perry, Jemima Kirke, Bella Heathcote, Zoey Deutch, Rowan Blanchard, Riley Keough, Odeya Rush, Langley Fox, Miranda July, Gia Coppola, Lily Stewart, Kim Gordon, Annie Clark, Jenny Lewis, Catherine Opie and Suvi Koponen. 

The gals in attendance checked out the collection of ready-to-wear, shoes and jewelry, which will hit stores this Thursday, March 17.  

With this collection, Rodarte—a brand known for its artistic mixture of high couture, modern femininity, and California influences—wanted to use colors and surfaces that create three-dimensionality. Subtle contrasts allowed for the designs to have intricate details and modern, clean lines. They also explored playing with textures such as crushed velvet, suede, mohair, lurex knit, mixed metal and crystal application. Small glimpses of metallic edges create a refraction of light that draws the eye.

Of the collaboration, the Mulleavy sisters said, “Los Angeles was a strong source of inspiration behind the collection, so it was a natural fit to celebrate the & Other Stories launch here in LA. We were so excited to celebrate at a dinner with inspiring and talented friends.” They added, “We wanted to create a collection that represents the textures of a California lifestyle. The clothes should easily transition from day to night and transform to one’s personal style and individuality. For us, it was important to create go-to staples for one’s wardrobe: a great jacket, dress, skirt, blouse, sweater, shoes and a set of jewelry that are completely versatile.” 

The Rodarte & Other stories collection will be available in selected stores and online at www.stories.com.
