If any design team can take inspiration from suburban boredom, and turn it into something interesting and refreshing, it is certainly the Mulleavy sisters at Rodarte. With their spring 2011 collection they somehow manage to take a mostly dull palette of "every shade of brown you can imagine" and transform 1970's wood paneling into a collection of beautiful and even sexy separates and dresses. The most refreshing feature has to be the silhouettes; high and tight on the waist and dramatically voluminous at the hip. The bright blue moments were also a welcome reprieve amidst the sea of neutrals. And just when things were starting to get too mundane, those dull browns were replaced with muted bronzes and golds. The Mulleavy's, always sticklers for punctuation, finished off the look with brown, blue and gold ornately carved wooden heels and wedges. This is arguably the most wearable collection from Rodarte to date.
