Peter Pilotto Resort 2014
Designers Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos used this resort season as a chance to experiment outside of their usual architectural print dresses. The collection featured color-blocked jersey dresses with understated beauty and even sweater dresses with unique knitting, however my favorite pieces continue to be their boldly patterned dresses in exaggerated shapes. They might have been done before, but they remain the pieces I'd love to wear.pics via
Resort 2014 Roulette
A very brief overlook of some of my favorite resort collections from this season.
Stella McCartney's spring collection was inspired by "the sort of clothes a woman with a snake tattoo might wear." Ironically, much of the collection is light and airy embellished with a quirky mix of lips, matches, and hearts. Still, it is perhaps the neutral tones and clean silhouettes that echo that original inspiration while remaining fresh and light for summer.
The Valentino resort collection echoes the ease of the season. For day this means flat equestrian boots and chambray shift dresses with military and sailor details. It's the more evening pieces that really stand out in citrus bright hues of lace and macrame floral embroidery. My favorite is the monochromatic pink skirt suit with sculpted jacket--pretty enough for a modern Audrey.
Parbal Gurung aimed for American sportswear with couture touches and struck gold. A mix of modern and retro touches this collection is ladylike without erring into fussy territory.
Mary Katrantzou stuck to her signature photo-realistic prints this season mixing architectural images with softer garden-based photographs. Toned down from the past are her silhouettes; simple silk jackets, sheath dresses, and ladylike longer length skirts are a huge change from her usual, structured pieces in often exaggerated shapes. Every look in the collection screams "futuristic ladylike."

Anna Sui Resort 2014
Anna Sui sticks true to her sweet and bohemian aesthetic but prints and silhouettes are toned down and cooled up for this season's resort collection. Without the distractions of patterned tights, scarves and hats, matching printed skirt and sweater sets shine with logo tees beneath--giving ideas on how to break up actual vintage sets in a laid back style. It's the perfect collection for the summer palette: colorful, uncomplicated, and non-fussy.pics via
Clover Canyon Resort 2013
I only recently discovered the brand Clover Canyon but I'm quite enamored with their mirrored prints and stream-lined silhouettes. The brand designed and produced in California is inspired by an endless voyage, a journey of the imagination. Their resort collection is Havana-inspired and once again it's all about the colorful and bold patterns. Definitely going to be keeping an eye on their shop and sales because I'd love a piece from this line.
Marios Schwab Fall 2013
The Marios Schwab woman is a writer--a novelist of fictional worlds rampant with medieval warrior queens and eldritch creatures from forgotten fairy tales. Her dream world often mixes with the real as she rides the subway whispering to herself in languages of her own invention and drives publishers and boyfriends equally mad in her insistence on talking about fictional characters (of her own invention and otherwise) as if they are real people and their dramas current and ongoing. Her wardrobe is thus inspired by the characters she finds most fascinating; a mix of romantic opulence and mail-like details that echo armour of the past.Orla Kiely F/W 2013
File this post under presentations I'm truly bummed I can't attend. Luckily (for all of us), some bloggers did witness the Orla Kiely Fall/Winter presentation firsthand and we can all envy their experience via these pictures (Orla Kiely's instagram even featured the messages the models were typing). Mad Men-esque offices served as the scene that had models typing and filing before walking the runway. The clothing styles are typical of Orla Kiely's usual fare, but far from boring in energetic colors and shapes--the 60s influence couldn't be more timely, I expect to see a lot more of these shapes and colors in the coming spring and fall. It really seems like a perfect presention: gorgeous clothes and great staging. Photos from here and here.
Jill Stuart Fall 2013
Jill Stuart's pretty frocks for Fall 2013 couldn't be more covetable. The designer was inspired by the idea of an escape to the English countryside for a weekend of charades and fox hunts--or at least I imagine the fox hunts and perhaps a little murder mystery or Upstairs Downstairs drama? Whatever the setting the dresses with laser-cut details and floral applique won't look amiss at any party (that an aristocrat could afford).
Erin Fetherston Fall 2013
The Erin Fetherston girl has read a few too many Grimm's fairy tales. She traded her Disney films for the more bloodthirsty originals when she was still a pre-teen and graduated to Madeleine de Scudéry before finishing high school. Now in college she dresses like the characters she wishes to be--romantic and a little Gothic; the line between princess and villain blurred. You might roll your eyes are her when she shows up at her eight am class in a tulle concoction with a wreath of dead flowers in her hair, but you grudgingly admit there's substance beneath the smell of tuberose and old books, whenever she opens her mouth. You were surprised to find her (still in costume) cashiering at the school book store, but an obsession with 17th Century heroines did not lead to a mystical inheritance.
Carven Pre-Fall 2013
I envision the Carven Pre-fall 2013 girl as a real-life Margot Tennebaum of inherited furs and consanguineous neuroses. She's supposedly getting a master's degree in Art History, but due to her hermit-like tendencies she hasn't managed to complete her course work, let alone start her required internship. She spends most days deep within the recesses of her ancestral home reading Anais Nin by a fireplace filled with candles and cooking pasta over a bunsen burner. When she ventures out her disheveled hair and the dark circles under her eyes always betray her more curious nature no matter how gentrified her outfits of vintage Ferragamos, Chanel jackets, and crocodile clutches.
Moschino Cheap and Chic Pre-Fall 2013
The Moschino Cheap and Chic girl is the sweetest girl you know. It's true, you found her a little intimidating at first--positive she'd use those steel-toed boots she inherited from her older brother to stomp your face into the pavement the first time you crossed her, but then you realized all that was packaging. Yes, her favorite band is Carnage and most of her accessories could double as weapons, but underneath all those spikes, safety-pins, home piercings, and androgynous haircut is the girl who drove across town with soup and a Cary Grant movie when you were sick. You love hanging out with her because she always finds the best things at thrift stores, bakes a mean banana bread, and when you go clubbing no one dares to mess with you.Erdem Pre-Fall 2013
Erdem Pre-Fall is the collection of choice for that rising socialite you went to high school with and want to hate but can't help being slightly jealous of instead. She attends all the parties you end up waitressing for your friend who caters and you always see her from a distance rubbing elbows with famous people. You've never heard her say anything remotely witty, but they all seem to laugh when she places her hand on their arm and leans in with that knowing twinkle in her eye. It's high school all over again; her getting excused from class for a family trip to Aspen while you were lucky to get a snow day. She was never a mean girl, but you can't help begrudging her the inherited fur coats anyway. Money can't buy style, but darn it if she didn't hire a really brilliant stylist who put her in patterned wedges and dropwaist dresses that epitomize modern chic instead of forgettable nude platforms and princess dresses. Tomorrow she'll appear in some magazine and you'll be scouring eBay for the shoes she wore to that gala...Timo Weiland Pre-Fall 2013
Timo Weiland Pre-Fall 2013 is the star pupil--you know that annoying girl who sets the curve. She's always on time or a little early with 3 sharpened pencils and a pen (just in case), her book open to last night's reading, and her notebook prepped for the lecture ahead. She doesn't raise her hand the instant the teacher asks a question, but you can tell from her deliberately blank face that she knows the answer every time. You suspect she has no life outside of class because you never run into her at parties and when you do see her in the campus cafe she always has her notebook or a novel in hand. Still there's something about her prim blouses buttoned to the neck, mini skirts with loafers, and undone hair that you can't help but admire. She has a look. But most of the time you think you just need to take her out and get her plastered just to see one of those buttons come undone.
