Resort 2014.
Pinstripes. The pinstripe was all over the autumn/winter collections and its only natural for it to transcend to the next season.
From L-R: Thakoon, Versace, Thom Browne, Stella McCartney and Alexis Mabille |
Cropped Tops. Designers from brands like Versace to Altuzarra keep this midriff baring trend going strong.
From L-R: Alice+Olivia, Emilio Pucci, Christian Dior, Versace and J.Mendel |
From L-R: Anna Sui, Alice+Olivia, Stella McCartney, Gucci and Suno |
Head To Toe Lace. Lace continues to be a favorite with designers, although the styling lesson from Resort 2014 would be to create a head to toe look through layering.
From L-R: Burberry Prorsum, Michael Korrs, Erdem and Carolina Herrera |
Pleats. Pleats were more refined for resort, used for everything from pants, languid summer dresses to dramatic evening gowns.
From L-R: Marchesa, Bibhu Mohapatra, Zac Posen, Christian Dior and Chanel |
Sheer Blocking. Never mind colour-blocking, Resort 2014 sees sheer blocking step into the limelight.
From L-R: Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Dior, Donna Karan, Alice+Olivia and Oscar De La Renta |
Opposites Attract. The stark and smart combination of black and white is still making a statement for resort 2014, whether in cool prints or graphic separates.
From L-R: Emanuel Ungaro, Marc By Marc Jacobs, Monique Lhuillier, Christian Dior and J. Mendel |
Gems. The heavily embellished looks that glide down runways all year round were scaled down to 3-D gems that dotted dresses, sweatshirts and coats.
From L-R: Burberry Prorsum, Marios Schwab, House Of Holland, Tory Burch and Roksanda Illincic |
Trench Coats. A staple in women’s wardrobes, the trench coat got a fresh makeover with bold prints, cool new shapes and some dazzling embellishment.
From L-R: Jean Paul Gaultier, Burberry Prorsum, Nina Ricci, Calvin Klein Collection and Christian Dior |
Exotic Textures. From wild animal prints to luxe and exotic textures, the Resort 2014 collections were about a sense of escape.
From L-R: Michael Kors, Just Cavalli, Reed Krakoff, Stella McCartney and Roberto Cavalli |
