Sarah Burton’s Resort collection for McQueen was both utilitarian and majestic. nude body skimming pieces mixed with thick buckle belts, boxy snakeskin clutches and peep toe ankle strapped pumps gave off the feeling of aristocratic chic while the collection finished with typical McQueen spelendor: floor-length gowns with tulle for days and a noteworthy mermaid gown in ornate, embroidered gold.

Ricardo Tisci’s focal point for Givenchy Resort was a mash of a safari-themed aesthetic with the NYC girls (they may become one in the same). with print tops and skirts with custom birds of paradise graphics and tan button ups to sleek pencil skirts and beautifully draped blazers, the designer paired many looks with hats were reminiscent of those he presented for Fall’11 (minus the cat ears), only with a more beach-focused style and color combinations.

the look book images for the Gucci Resort collection are breezy and suntanned, from the walls to the models own complexions, the looks are like a breath of fresh air. designer Frida Gianni paired bright colors with muted neutrals across the board, and not one look suffered. in fact, they excelled.

a metallic gold pleated skirt and a latex-like shiny camel leather dress were covetable, to say the least.

Mulberry’s Resort collection is, for lack of better words, fun. the use of red and yellow with neutral grey’s and nudes almost punch you in the face- and paired with graphic donkeys and a curious pear placed directly in the middle of two sweatshirts, its hard to take a mental note.

i love everything about Derek Lam. his Resort collection reads like my must have list for life. casual yet sophisticated, easy yet uber- stylish, his pieces are easily worn as styled, although most would be happy to take home one piece and wear it until they die.

denim and color-blocking took center stage for the designer. each focal point was easily worked into the collection of supplemental leather, knits, waist cropped jackets and parachute pants in neutral nude and gray and black and royal blue color-blocked perfection.

Alexander Herchcovitch presented his first Resort collection. short and sweet, the brazilian designer focused on delicate patterns, easy separates and an all over late 60′s vibe: bangs, flipped out hair and all. pale pinks and muted silvers made up most of the collection, but a noteworthy mid-calf length, bustier jumper stole the show.

Marc Jacobs Resort collection brings on a newly appreciated love of the equestrian lifestyle for me, even causing a quick impulse to buy a horse. and they scare me like nothing else. so, moving on….

LV logo’s found their way into many pieces, accenting everything from handbags to necks, and but as a whole the collection revolved around its theme and general take on wearable chic. print bahama shorts paired with a loose leather t-shirt, a white cut out bathing suit and hot shorts paired with short graphic tops. and did i mention equestrian hats in every color and pattern?
