Rodarte's Spring Summer 2011 collection was their most commercial to date. A 70s wood veneer print was applied to structured dresses with contrast paneling, pencil skirts with exaggerated hip details, and fluid skirts that extended to an awkward midi length.
The checkered veneer details were borrowed from the furniture that defined the decade, echoing Margiela's fashionable reappropriation of the fabrication for this Rodarte Spring Summer 2011 line.
Implications - The featured images show the models walking the runway in an assortment of Rodarte’s Spring Summer 2011 pieces. The models were styled with long bangs pulled to the side, while the rest of their hair hung loose. Shiny golden lipstick stuck to their pouts and the rest of their faces look quite natural.
