Manhattan is certainly the place to be during Fashion Week, but that doesn’t mean New Yorkers never obtain a bout of nostalgia for the open outdoors. Possibly that’s what hit sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the powerhouse pair behind Rodarte, when designing for spring 2011.

The collection conjures images of the countryside with its array of rich browns, golds, and rustic white and blue patterns, not to declare models rocking wood-paneling superior than the walls of a ‘70s ranch-style loft.

The Mulleavys run to modernize the appear with artful touches, such as cut-out shoulders, structured silhouettes, and a gorgeous golden gladiator get-up.

And gone are the ultra-superfluous tacked-on fabrics—we love this innovative, almost minimal direction that Rodarte is heading in.
