CULTE FEMME SUMMER 2011

It’s a printed matter! We kick off this summer with color and prints (lots of it!). For Rustan’s Culte Femme, bold color is the new black this summer. As fashion flashes back to the decade of 1970s this season, we are offering you our hand-picked favorites inspired by this era. Aside from bold color choices, the retro vibe was amplified by an explosion of prints and patterns. There is also a bit of a tropical feel to the collection - it is for summer, after all - with palm-tree prints in full skirts to match ruffled camisoles. Our newest muse is a sexy and smart pin-up girl clad in 70s prints and silhouettes. She is bold when it comes to her color choices. Two prints at a time are very wearable when worn together either by a unifying element: by color or silhouette (or both!). We wanted to make it more modern by mixing up the looks more.
