# Experimental Feminine Collections The Rag & Bone Resort 2015 Collection is Super Versatile By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-06-09 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rag-bone-resort-2015 References: [wwd](http://www.wwd.com/runway/resort-2015/review/rag-bone) & [rag-bone](http://www.rag-bone.com/collections.html) David Neville and Marcus Wainwright travelled through as-yet-unchartered territory for the Rag & Bone [Resort 2015 collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection). The designer duo took things that were decidedly "un-Rag & Bone," and played around, fitting them into its existing aesthetic. Examples of this experimentation include [animal print pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection) (most notably in the form of a slim-fitting silk dress), monochromatic chunky knits and a printed, pony hair jacket. Eager to explore beyond their tried-and-true pieces, the designers incorporated some pink into their vision. To differentiate from traditional uses of the "girly," color, they combined it with some not-so-girly silhouettes (a tailored moleskin coat and boxy faux-jean jacket, for instance). Overall, fans of Rag & Bone will be pleased to see the brand attempt something outside its comfort zone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Experimental Feminine Collections:** Fashion designers are beginning to experiment with traditionally feminine elements in their collections, creating disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion industry. - **Untraditional Use of Colors:** Designers are incorporating unexpected colors into their collections, creating disruptive innovation opportunities for the fashion industry. - **Playful Mixing of Aesthetics:** Fashion designers are mixing unexpected styles in their collections, creating disruptive innovation opportunities for the fashion industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can experiment with traditionally feminine elements, incorporate unexpected colors, and mix styles playfully in their collections, leading to new trends and ideas. - **Retail:** Retailers can use the disruptive innovations in fashion to improve their offerings and attract new customers with creative combinations of traditional and non-traditional fashion elements. - **Marketing:** Marketers can promote the trend of mixing traditional styles with non-traditional ones in fashion to consumers as a fun and playful way to express themselves and stand out from the crowd. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md) - [Inaugural Slick Watch Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rag-bone1.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Avant Garde Seasonal Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic.md) - [Minimally Elegant Fall-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-1.md) - [Modern Vacation Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resort-wear-collection.md) - [Effortlessly Elegant Womenswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veronica-beard-springsummer-2024.md) - [Print-Forward Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md)
