It differs from the ubiquitous washed-out preppy fashion, however, in that these outfits have a distinct bohemian twist. Oversized proportions and thick, textured fabrics give the Rag & Bone Spring 2011 collection a timeless feel, while pops of blue and burnt yellow add zing to the otherwise neutral palette. **Implications** - The recent recession prompted customers to make more affordable purchases at vintage and thrift stores.
