Label Text:Narciso Rodriguez is known for sensual, pared-down garments that accentuate the female form, showing that minimalism need not preclude a sense of romance. He has compared his design approach to that of an architect, using “seaming for structure to create interesting fit lines and shape.” For spring 2011, Rodriguez focused on long, lean lines and feminine tailoring.
