What is Resort anyway?
Donna Karan introduced her collection as “the collection before the
next”. Why not call it Pre Spring
just as we have Pre Fall, or is that too predictable for the fashion
world? Even the show schedule is
loosey goosey with Chanel and Oscar de la Renta showing full out extravaganzas
a month ago and then a trickle of presentations that has since become a steady stream.
But what is Resort?
In the olden days it was a small collection for ladies seeking warmer
climes in the winter. Then resort
evolved into a hybrid resort wear, wear now pick-me-ups for the winter
doldrums. Now the resort end of it
is all but dropped in favor of a laboratory bridging winter to spring. Whatever it is here’s what I like so
far.
