The Rodarte and Opening Ceremony collaboration seems like a match made in heaven and the latest collection for autumn 2011 is certainly an accurate illustration of this concept. Get inspired by the eclectic elegance with an ethereal touch by taking a closer look at the styles included in the collection.
The Rodarte and Opening Ceremony collaboration is certainly not
new, yet it is undoubtedly exciting and glamorous. With the
multitude of designer-retailer collaborations for the season, the
following months will certainly be strongly infused with elegance
and sophistication and the two brands are certainly doing their
part in ensuring this concept will become a reality.
Taking inspiration from the Scandinavian culture, Kate and Laura
Mulleavy hope to dazzle consumers with feminine creations that
exude delicacy with their princess-like allure. Interesting
textures, eclectic prints, soft ruffles or sheer details are just
some of the style elements the two fashion brands have brought to
our attention for the upcoming season.
The emphasis on femininity is more than clear thanks to the
multitude of long and mid-length dresses which inevitably become the main
focus of the collection. The styles range from conservative and
vintage-like with a well chosen chromatic palette to modern and
provocative due to the sheer details and fabric choices. Although
fairly subtle, these types of contrasts really amp up the overall
diversity of the collection.
In the area of fabric the collection shows some exciting options
such as shearling, lamb skin leather or cable-knits. Another
interesting distinctive feature of the collection is the preference
for silk prints. The return of the printed pants is undoubtedly
noteworthy as it is rather unexpected. Furthermore, those who like
to take a few fashion risks might also be pleasantly
surprised by the head to toe print outfits presented.
Well defined waist is another style element that proves to be hard
to miss, whether we are talking about high waist pants or figure
flattering dresses. Ankle socks, an important trend of the fall
2010 season is also brought back by the two brands as a style
statement with a practical vibe. On the other hand, other types of
accessories are kept at a
bare minimum in order to maintain the accuracy of the image
created.
The brand also offers some style alternatives for the opposite sex,
making the prospect of shopping as a couple just a little more
exciting. All the creations from this collection will be available
for purchase online and in stores starting with early October,
which means there's plenty of time to select your favorite pieces
in advance.
