Resort Round Up - Part 2
There were far too many gorgeous resort collections for me to only write one post. So here are some more of my favourites:

The 3.1 Phillip Lim collection was as usual classic and divinely wearable. This suit is so elegant and I love the colour. Nothing more than I would expect though from a very commercially aware designer.

Stella McCartneys collection was a comfy but classy affair. With the usual dose of Stellarisms including expertly tailored blazers and feminine blouses. This chunky textured knit dress was one of my favourites but there were many others.

At Behnaz Sarafpour the collection was a clever combination of sporty and formal. The fabrics and dresses suggested party but the cut has a sporty edge. My favourite was this bright pink dress with pleats adding a bit of texture to the bodice.

Proenza Schouler showed a refreshing collection of loosely fitting layered clothes for Resort. The trousers were baggy and very comfortable looking,the long jackets trench like in style. There was also poncho style tunics and a gorgeous strapless silk jumpsuit.
For any other 3.1 Phillip Lim fans, this 3.1 Phillip Lim belt is a great way to accessorise your outfit.

Resort Round Up - Part 1
Here are my favourites from the Resort 2009 collections.

Alber Elbaz surpassed himself as usual with his bright and breezy resort collection. A real feel of summer holidays made this a joy to watch. Asymmetrical draped cocktail dresses and lots of beads gave this collection a real quirky feel and something a bit different. He also had a great collaboration with Acne jeans creating all sorts of items including shoes and bags in deep dark denim.
Nicholas Ghesquiere’s 2009 resort collection for Balenciaga has carried on the underlying theme from his fall 08 collection with draped asymmetric tops and some full on minimalism with lots of above the knee straight skirts and skinny trousers.

Calvin Kleins resort 09 collection was again minimalist chic with lots of muted neutral tones. It was very wearable with interest added by the different textures.

For Resort 2009 John Galliano showed a collection of candy sweet colours with elegant draped chiffon dresses some gorgeous prints and footless tights with everything. The collection was really finished off with the colourful chunky jewellery and wedge shoes.

The electric colours of the Oscar De La Renta Resort 2009 collection were defintely memorable. This show was back in May but still stands out in my mind for its sheer colourfulness. The amazing gowns at the end were also something to remember.
