# Oddly Cutout Designer Skirts The Oscar de la Renta Silk-Satin Maxi Skirt Boasts a Gaping Hole By Meghan Young | Published 2014-05-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oscar-de-la-renta-silksatin-maxi-skirt References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/oscar-de-la-renta-skirt-with-hole) & [net-a-porter](http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/446718) The Oscar de la Renta Silk-Satin Maxi Skirt is the next evolution of the mullet skirt. While this fashion fad continues to slowly die down, the Dominican American fashion designer has decided to tweak it in a way that brings a touch more glamor to the look while maintaining the same asymmetrical silhouette, He has done so by introducing a gaping hole in the front that looks odd when it is not worn. Essentially, women are men to place their legs within the hole of the Oscar de la Renta Silk-Satin Maxi Skirt. This gives the back a rounded billowing effect that otherwise wouldn't be there if it were a traditional mullet skirt. The dramatic touch adds more movement to the design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Asymmetrical Silhouette:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring new ways to incorporate asymmetrical designs into fashion that enhance movement and create unique visual appeal. - **Unexpected Cutouts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experimenting with unexpected cutout designs in clothing to create bold and unconventional fashion statements. - **Dynamic Movement:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing garments that prioritize movement and fluidity, allowing wearers to express themselves through kinetic fashion. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing unconventional and boundary-pushing designs to redefine traditional fashion norms and appeal to a daring consumer base. - **Apparel Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating advanced manufacturing techniques and materials to create intricate cutouts and asymmetrical designs with precision and efficiency. - **Retail and E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Curating online platforms and physical store experiences that promote and showcase avant-garde fashion creations, attracting fashion-forward customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Towel-Resembling Luxe Skirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/towel-skirt.md) - [Dominican Heritage-Inspired Fashion Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominican-heritage.md) - [One-Legged Luxury Fashion Jeans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onelegged-jean.md) - [Sporty Modular Cargo Skirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-cargo-midi.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md) - [Artistic Dress NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwearable-dresses.md) - [Statement-Making Oatmeal Outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porridge-dress.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md)
