Alexander Wang- he went all-American with the khakis and denim. I'm very into the angled snap pants on the right.
Thakoon- the collection was very upbeat and full of color. The dress on the left is so teeny tiny but so cute- it reminds me of the ocean which is appropriate for a "resort" collection eh?
ADAM- easy, breezy pieces that are generous in fit but still look great on.
Calvin Klein- I'd like to float away in one of these weightless dresses.
DVF- I'm not really a big fan of hers but I liked a lot of the prints in this collection. They are very loud and cheerful, but definitely more suited for a getaway to Bali than a staycation in NYC. The giant bows are pretty amazing and I can see them making Ms. White Lightning a happy girl.
Helmut Lang- always a fave and very wearable. The designers were inspired by the erosion of materials, incorporating the look of rubbed-off metals and burnt-out fabrics into some of the pieces.
Yigal Azrouël- a denim and leather jacket to die for (dare I say more interesting than the one Wang did?) and some really great layered looks topped off with bright-colored turbans.

thakoon was surprisingly good! i always feel helmut lang is a bit cheap & highstreet-looking for the price...nothing compared to what mr.lang used to do...
i totally agree with you about lang. i was in loehman's a few months ago and they had like 3 racks of helmut lang discounted. i was excited until i got closer and realized it was mainly just plain tanks with like a slight asymmetric seam marked way down in price but still $100. Thakoon's prints are amazing though!
excellent picks, mdear!
im so impressed by wang's khaki...thats a difficult task to tackle and he pretty much nailed it. that entire outfit is a masterpiece.
Yeah, Thakoon was great!
if it weren't for people like you, i would be too lazy to check out the resort collections haha.
definitely taking a closer look now!
