Fashionistas head for Rodarte launch as LA prepares for the Oscars

While everyone else in LA was preparing for the Oscars, a breakaway group of fashionistas headed to the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard this weekend to celebrate the latest collection by designer label Rodarte. Founded in 2005 by siblings Laura and Kate Mulleavy, Rodarte has garnered quite a following in the last few years, with fans including model Natalia Vodianova (above left, with husband Justin Portman), actors Gina Gershon and Vincent Gallo and model-turned-actress Milla Jovovich all turning out in support. ·
