September Vogue hit the shelves last week – you’ll be excused for not noticing due to the minor distraction of the Olympics, but when it does catch your eye you’ll see it’s an especially thick and juicy issue this month. Packed out with covetable clobber to help us plan our autumn/winter wardrobes…
September also brings us London Fashion Week, HOORAY- another reason to be cheerful. So it’s not long before we can get ahead of the pack and see what will be staring back at us from the glossy pages in six months time.
But, as you know, you can never look too far ahead in the fashion world – which is where the Resort, also known as Cruise, collections come in to give us a glimpse of things to come for next year. The (bell) bottom line: we’re going seventies retro… with a modern twist of course, plus futuristic sixties, mixed prints and patterns with a palette straight out of a tube of Smarties.
Resort is huge business for the luxury brands and sells well in the UK throughout the year. For the jet-setters among us the season serves hotter climes well too. As you’ll see the selected looks below can span seasons depending largely on what you wear on your legs and feet. Ready in stores from November to see us through to the spring/summer trends which are out in March.
So, when the limpics are over, click your heels together and think Resort… and the winter may never happen.
