Resort Report (part 1)!

Well since I have not had a good week I’m going to write about something I like. In today’s case the resort09 collection. After so many bad resort and pre-fall seasons I’ve started not to expect anything good. But this season it was surprisingly quite good, well other than the 3 weeks of waiting between the big houses(Chanel, Valentino and Dior) and the ones I actually wanted to see(Michael Kors, Proenza Schouler, Stella Maccartney and Carolina Hererra).

I thought in the 3 weeks I had to wait there won’t be anymore, until I saw the pictures of Vlada(Roslyakova) at Versace and Michael Kors in her thread on tfs(the fashion spot). So when I did I jumped on style.com at once! And this is what I thought:

 

 

 

Chanel, I don’t really like Chanel much. It’s over rated and fairly repetitive (black&white, black&white). The resort collection was nothing special, classic Chanel lines and fairly average. Karl needs to retire. 

 

 

 

 

Dior, always outrageous and always ‘so wrong it’s right’. Crazy sombreros and delicious summery colors and not forget a fabulous choice of models (Vlada, Morgane, Magdalena, Tanya and so on). The clothes were beautiful, from the 9-5 suit, subtle pastel dressed to sorbet orange swim suits and big tiered ball gowns paired with a soft grandma knit.

 

 Oscar De La Renta, -drool- everything from the collection was splendid, splendid would be somewhat an understatement! Classic De La Renta is essential for any wardrobe, simple dresses, suits, and of course flamboyant ball gowns. So chic and wearable. 10/10!

 

Fendi, I never knew Fendi did resort. But I have to say it’s pretty good. Simple, wearable and it looks great! My favorite was the shiny black dress, the shape is flattering and can be easily transformed from day to night

 

 

 

Valentino, it was a classic Valentino collection, even though Alessandra didn’t channel Valentino so well in the fw0809 collection she certainly did well in resort. The shapes were beautiful and feminine, the colors were subtle and most importantly she grasped the Valentino-ness.

Calvin Klien, I’ve always been a fan of Calvin Klien’s simplicity, and this resort collection was no different. With the femininity of flowy, light dresses and the masculine suit the collection was amazing. I loved the pale colors and the soft fabrics it’s very CK.
