The man can do no wrong!

Alexander Wang never fails to impress. His latest Ready to Wear collection is nothing short of amazing. The colour palate blends seamlessly from neutral tones of beige and grey, to finish with a number of androgynous black looks.

Wang finds a new way to express structured shoulders and asymmetry, whilst playfully adapting the cutout trend, adding his own signature style. Sheer fabrics, along with leather lay the basis of many pieces. Leotards and leggings create a sport chic look, whilst spurts of red coloured stripes are included for a fresh Spring look.

Resort report

Only in recent years have resort collections started to gain more and more attention. These collections were typically catering to the extremely wealthy who spent their holidays relaxing in the likes of the French Riviera. Resort wear provides a sort of bridge between Fall and Spring for designers; they are typically less expensive and more wearable than many other runway collections. Increasing popularity of resort wear comes as the economy remains in a state of instability.

I have been a fan of Philip Lim and his label 3.1 Philip Lim for a long time, and his resort creations have not failed to impress me. The blending of everything from lace and denim, to metallics and florals seems so effortless, yet so chic. Draping of the fabrics, the inclusion of a subtle metallic gold, as well as the asymmetry of some of the garments is divine.



Sorry about overloading the post with photos, I just couldn't decide which ones I liked best.
