The sisters have also collaborated with Gap and Target, on limited edition pieces.
After their initial collection of just 10 pieces, the Mulleavys appeared on the cover of Women's Wear Daily and had a meeting with US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour Rodarte is now stocked globally by more than 40 of the world’s premiere retailers including Barneys NYC, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Beams, Harvey Nichols, Colette, Ikram, Nordstrom, Jeffrey, Dover Street Market, Opening Ceremony, Net-a-Porter, the Room at Hudson Bay, and Joyce.
Amy Westcott is credited as the costume designer for the 2010 drama film Black Swan, and received several award nominations. A publicized controversy arose regarding the question who had designed 40 ballet costumes for Portman and the dancers. An article in the British newspaper, The Independent suggested those costumes had actually been created by the Mulleavy sisters.
