Alexander Wang Resort 2013

I really like what he's doing with the various fabrications in a monochrome palette. The closely fitting cropped crocodile top is so fresh looking. The back is a fun surprise as well.

I'm liking the dress over pants look more and more, and although this is a dress over shorts, I think you could make it work very well with narrow pants for fall.
 I like the sheer dress/tunic with openings for pocket access.

The sheer dress with opaque slip is nice too, although it could be a little more fitted.
 

 I like this jacket with the interesting seamlines and asymmetrical sections. It would be nice in a wool or a heavy linen. The sleeves are a little heavy, I think.

This top is similar, but a little more interesting. The sheer areas give it an intriguing style.

Giorgio Armani Resort 2010


Full cropped pants seem right for resort, but perhaps won't carry on through.



The same style does make a cute shorts silhouette.



Nice use of a large-scale print.

Chado Ralph Rucci Resort 2010


Here are those bell sleeves again.



Very pretty seaming details and I love the pockets.



Tied with a bow. How cute is this, and very wearable.



An iconic jacket shape.



Seemingly simple, yet with lots of intriguing and intricate details.



One of his favored dress shapes, but a bit more casual, and suitable for daywear.



Even more casual in feel, yet intricately constructed.




Faggotting with 'worms' for a very cute set.



So fresh looking. The pieced seaming is so pretty with this fabrication.



More obvious and possibly more impressive work, but ultimately, not as attractive.

Cute print and a nice, swingy skirt.



We're seeing a lot of this top style lately.
