Balmain Resort 2013
After finally coming full circle, Olivier Rousteing has no need to prove himself as the head designer for the iconic Parisian house. His second year of being at the helm of the glam-rock-chic house began with his Resort 2013 collection, which also marked his foray in to creating a signature. Whilst the common elements of [...]
Céline Resort 2013
After her presentation for her Fall collection back in March, we thought Phoebe Philo wouldn’t be able to top her immense ability to create flawless, sartorially inclined, yet insanely wearable collections. And oh, how we thought wrong. Rather than introduce anything new, Philo – whose pregnancy was the basis of a show less fall collection [...]
Vivienne Tam Resort 2013
Black & White + Orange = Big City Chic Consider the Vivienne Tam Resort 2013 collection your new urban uniform. Inspired by “the spiritual and ritual significance of the Mandala”, Ms. Tam fuses graphic cutouts, a minimal color palette and bold prints to create a compelling collection. Balancing slightly exaggerated shapes to create proportional harmony [...]
JW Anderson Resort 2013
There’s really something about Jonathan William Anderson. For a young man to come from such a humble beginning to become one of fashion’s favorite darlings within just a few seasons… It may not be unheard of, but this is one young man to keep an eye (and a bank account) on at all times. It [...]
Givenchy Resort 2013
Givenchy’s Resort 2013 collection is a perfect fusion of East and West. Eye-catching patterns and paisley prints are juxtaposed by square geometry. The collection features an array of silhouettes. Jodhpur pants and cape-cut tops bring an equestrian element, emphasized by leather, denim and an abundance of silk. Bright red and blue popped against subdued navy, [...]
Peter Pilotto Resort 2013
Normally, dear readers, I have a calm, cool approach towards my reviews of collections. But as Team KENTON and many of my other acquaintances know, there are few labels that I will forever and ever have a tiny fan-moment when they produce anything new. And that label, is Peter Pilotto. So, if you’ll excuse me… [...]
Salvatore Ferragamo Resort 2013
Sometimes fashion makes history; and sometimes that history happens right before our eyes. You might be asking what we’re talking about — well we’re discussing the Ferragamo Resort 2013 collection that was shown at the Lourve this evening. History was in the making as each model strutted their looks, being the first fashion show ever [...]
Temperley London Resort 2013
Her Majesty the Queen’s recent Diamond Jubilee must have been on Alice Temperley’s mind when she created this fit-for-a-royal Resort collection. Whilst most designers are taking an edgier approach to their Resort collections, Temperley focused on the pretty and prim, with sleek cuts, feminine dresses and skirts screaming for Kate Middleton to wear each and [...]
Theyskens’ Theory Resort 2013
Olivier Theyskens is quickly becoming a fashion favourite, and his Resort 2013 collection is a prime example as to precisely why. Luxurious fabrics and classic denim merged for the collection, which epitomized the entire Theyskens look – simple, chic, cool, and effortless. But they key to this collection is the sheer simplicity of everything – [...]
The Row Resort 2013
Despite many years at the helm of their super-brand The Row, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen don’t need to prove anything to anyone after the announcement that they were the recipients of the CFDA Award for women’s wear, and the Resort 2013 collection is proof that the award was given to the right brand. The Row [...]
