Resort! 2005

There are a few interesting things in the Resort Collections.

Donna Karan has a great neckline on this dress.


Great hat by Lanvin! The dress is quite wonderful, too.

Lanvin again. Interesting bell sleeves in a short version, and lovely, casual-chic drawstring pants.

Michael Kors has found a great print, and what a nice combination with the beaded cardigan. Notice please, the cute bag with stick handles.

Oscar de la Renta linen dress with wonderful trim. Quite a few of his other dresses have very full skirts with crinolines; often showing at the hem.


Very unusual, but intriguing dress from Prada.

Rochas dress looks comfortable as an old shoe, possibly because it's too long, but look at the gorgeous waterlily print! Perfect for resort wear.



Great use of blanket stitch edging from Rochas, and the inverted scallop shape is very fresh.

What a feminine Safari Suit from Valentino. The tiny ruffle on the edge of the jacket front and collar looks fresh, yet effortless. Almost throw-away style.


Zac Posen's color blocking is unusual in both shape and the fact that it's not 2 solid colors.


Absolutely adorable dress from Badgley Mischka. Fabric and embellishments really compliment the style. Very cute tie belt too.
