THE GREAT ESCAPE
RAOUL brings guests on an exotic journey at its
Spring Summer 2011 Runway Show
RAOUL’s presentation of its Spring Summer 2011 collection was a great escape for guests as they were transported from the hustle and bustle of the city to a place reminiscent of long summer days and the romance of travel.
RAOUL’s Creative Directors, Odile and Douglas Benjamin were largely inspired by Michelangelo Antonioni’s The Passenger, where the exotic locations were the perfect backdrop to both Jack Nicholson and Maria Schneider looking effortlessly chic in the movie.
MediaCorp celebrities Pierre Png, Andrea de Cruz, Yvonne Lim, and Member of Parliament Michael Palmer sipped on bubbly and nibbled on a selection of delectable canapés through the evening.
RAOUL’s Creative Directors, Douglas and Odile Benjamin certainly achieved their aim of creating a collection which brings out the functionality and carefree aspect of the traveler, yet offering a touch of indulgence and glamour.

Inspiration
1970 style icons Bianca Jagger and Jerry Hall epitomize the glamour of the era: Halter and plunging necklines, layers of colorful silk, exaggerated neck tie details, bold print and color all help to create an effortless chic and sophisticated look. Spring 11 styles that were directly inspired from this era include, Elodie Bloom Top, Splashed Colorblock Balloon
Apparel
For Spring 2011, Marc By Marc Jacobs hits the runway in a multitude of bright colors, flowy fabrics, and updated neutrals, evoking the romance and youth of the 1970’s. Hemlines drop giving a billowing and glamorous air to dresses and skirts, while pants become higher-waisted, with a fuller leg. Blouses in silk and cotton poplin dominate, both paired with shorts or tucked into skirts. We bring it back to classic Marc By Marc Jacobs sportswear infusing the line with both bright pops of color, as well as updated neutrals of fog, sand, and cream. There is a light hearted quality to the collection illustrated through the layered application of light weight fabrics. The playful heritage of the brand is illuminated as we embark on our ten year anniversary at Marc By Marc Jacobs this spring season.
Accessories
1970s lady-like sophistication inspired us this season. Our new groups have more structured silhouettes in luxury materials — such as the Bianca Jane on a Chain and the Snake Chain Shop Girl. The vintage-inspired color palette has rich neutrals such as Caramel, Taupe and Black accented by pops of color. This refined aesthetic was furthered by new hardware pieces and subtle detailing.
