Burberry Prorsum Resort 2010

Christopher Bailey continues to sustain my love affair for all things Burberry. This collection, the designer continues to stay true to his modern vision of the house. Showing clean lines and chic modern proportions, the resort collection features slim pleated trousers, light-weight outerwear, trenches with ribbon appliqués, and draped dresses. Shoes were high with a platform and chunky heel, worn with thin socks. The color pallet was heavenly, showing soothing hues of cream, grays, charcoal, and navey.

Rag & Bone Resort 2010

David Neville and Marcus Wainwright at Rag&Bone stuck to their essential tailoring, boyish fits, layering and relaxed coolness for this Resort collection. YES: it was cool, stylish and attractive. But it feels like we've seen this before, Neville and Wainwright definitely played it safe for this collection and went with what simply works. And it also doesn't feel like a Resort collection at all.
Nonetheless, the stylish was fantastic, the layering impeccable.

Marc Jacobs Resort 2010

Marc Jacobs for Resort 2010, presents yet another whimsical collection, vibrating with color, elaborate embellishments and embroidery, sequined flowers, wrap dresses, pajama pants, motorcycle jackets, prom dresses, nautical stripes and prom dresses. It's something you'd wear with style on a lovely tropical island vacation. Kate Moss' lamé one-shoulder toga dress at The Costume Institute Gala at New York's Metropolitan Museum a few weeks ago was actually from this very collection. The accessories were to die for, bejeweled bags and clutches, dangerously high wooden platform T-straps and sandals, some with floral appliqués.

Alexander Wang Resort 2010

Alexander Wang's resort 2010 collection was definitely refreshing.
He's obviously moving forward and straying a bit away from his aggressive edginess that we've been seeing in his recent collections. Instead, for this collection he's referencing Classic American Sportswear - preppy done the Wang way. The collection featured high waisted skirts, draped dresses, tulip hems , jersey cocktail dresses, nautical stripes and a dash of sequins.
All kept oh so modern, yet extremely effortless! The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner is definitely in a league of his own, such an accomplishment for the young designer!

Calvin Klein Resort 2010

Francisco Costa continues to be a master of darted silk dresses, cropped pants, sensual mesh tops, and alluring layered skirts.
The collection was soft, weightless, and fresh with a touch of romance.
The execution for this Calvin Klein collection was amazing: skilled craftsmanship, an airy color pallet of light sand, cream, and milky gold tones combined with intelligent layering, embroidered highlights and asymmetrical prowess, the collection was all about the body. And the way the clothes should convey a mood of relaxation, to a point where heels weren't even presented, models wore leather oxfords in variations of pale beige, gold, and black.

The newly transformed CITY magazine, which now comes in a 10 x 13" format, features the Brazilian beauty, Cinita Dicker. With styling By Julie Ragolia and Photographed by Zach Gold, the 22 year old is seen in a Stella McCartney S/S 09 sequined vanilla jumpsuit with accessories by Flutter by Jill Golden and Ginette NY,
Cover number 64 is gorgeous, Dicker all in nude, which looks luscious against her skin, the make-up is splendid as well. I love the obvious vampyric tendencies, seen primarily in the fangs.
