What is a Resort collection you ask?
Essentially it's a collection presented by some designers between their Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer collections. It is also known as "smack" or "dope" to us junkies going through withdrawal from the aforementioned primary seasons. Thus, I present to you my drugs of choice:
Valentino: Flawless
Peter Som: not great by any means but this print was pretty.
Zac Posen: Again, not impressive. I only really dug this transparent little number.
Versace: I REALLY liked the beige and bright tangerine next to each other. Great graphic tee and interesting pants...
Helmut Lang: SO cool and wearable.
Chris Benz: Definitely one of my faves. Looooook at those colourrrrrrs!
Donna Karan: I don't know, it's all been done but she does it very well...
Michael Kors: Michael Kors made me puke. Honey I love you but HALE NO
Stella McCartney: This is what was said to Andrew upon seeing the collection:
stefanie says:
HOLY HELL
stefanie says:
FUCK THIS
In other words: so brilliant I almost posted every look but PAINFULLY cut it down to three for y'all
Marc Jacobs: The silhouettes were grotesque. Do not want. Will probably want when similar stuff shows up in his Spring 2009 Collection...Will probably not be able to help it...
Proenza Schouler: Boys it's been done to death to be honest...
Carolina Herrera: She is an absolute class act but some of the silhouettes made me sick. IE the latter photo.
Oscar de la Renta: GREAT gowns (as per usual) but the day dresses were pretty dull.
I left out a few ones that were "blah" and I left out Christian Dior and Chanel because they made me vom, you'll have to look those up on your own, friends...
