They bring in publicity which every fashion house needs and more importantly, they bring in money. Resort collections are in shops the longest and are often based on buyer’s feedback – what sold, what customers said – and as they are slightly less fashion focused, they can be worn at any time of year by layering up or down.
We think of them as a barometer of what people really wear as opposed to what designers try and tell us we should be wearing.
Here we pick what we think was some of the best of what was shown at Resort 2012 last month. We chose them not only because the clothes were beautiful but because everything about the models would have been carefully screened and chosen. For hair, makeup and outfit inspiration that works with a brown skin, look no further:
Burberry Prorsum
Love the print. If you’re handy with a sewing machine, or have an auntie who is, get hold of some of this fabric and this might be a look you can do yourself.
Alexander Wang
Simplicity at its best.
Givenchy
More vibrant print.
Calvin Klein
As clean and fluid as ever.
