Here are the last of my favorite looks from Resort 2010.
Moschino is a consistent favorite of mine. I love this collection's cool sensibility -- some of the looks have an '80s adrogyne vibe. I'm into the pieces' structure and the sweet pops of royal blue, and those perfectly-cut carrot pants are killing me.
After being generally underwhelmed by Williamson's capsule collection for H&M, I was pleasantly surprised by his resort looks, which maintain his penchant for prints and poppy colors that manage to be both playful and grown-up. Loving the unusually-hued biker jackets here as well as the fun belts.
Costume National
If this collection is anything to base an opinion on, Ennio Capasa's Costume National girl is not to be fucked with. I love it when a resort collection seems fine-tuned with urban toughness, resort for those who won't be leaving the city. If only I could get my hands on that black maxi dress -- it's perfect.
Sonia Rykiel
With Sonia herself (with daughter Nathalie) back at the helm of design for the label following the departure of Gabrielle Griess, the resort collection seems tapped into the classic Rykiel aesthetic of youthful, anything-you-can-do-girls-can-do-better sexiness. Love the expertly mixed prints and clean lines, and I always love when a designer incorporates into their collection an unexpected accessory that anyone can draw from -- in this case, the fishnet ankle socks. Who knew those could look so cute?
Pucci
Hardly what I was expecting for Resort from Pucci of the famed ultra-bright psychedelic prints, but I like it! Peter Dundas' black/white/blue color scheme is right up my alley and I love the zig-zag prints (a callback to Pucci's 1957 "Palio" collection). Beautiful, and equally at home for vacation or the city.
Moschino Cheap & Chic
Even though I kind of loathe its name ("Cheap and Chic" -- oh really, now? I'd call it "Still Outrageously Expensive and Chic"), Moschino Cheap & Chic, like its big-sister label, is consistently one of my favorite lines. I like the Twiggy vibe of the model and the swingy shapes of the clothes -- this is a collection from which to draw inspiration when putting on the clothes you already own.
Marni
Oh, that kooky Marni girl -- don't we all just want to raid her closet? I don't condone a kitten heel under any circumstances, not even in the collection of one of my favorite labels, but heinous heels aside, I love this loose, easygoing collection and the way it plays with proportion. Makes me want a pair of brown pants and some whimsical statement necklaces.
Giles
I'm lukewarm on model Pixie Geldof, but Giles Deacon's first resort collection is easygoing perfection, making me desperate for a louche white suit and a coral doll wig.
That's the last of my resort roundup -- can't wait until fall hits and I start delving into the spring collections!
