Etro Resort 2013 is an exercise in bright color and engineered patterns. The shapes were kept simple, with a bit of layering here and there (some drapey blouse+jacket combos) but most of the focus kept on the vibrant patterns. Not quite groundbreaking, but still a solid offering for the brand. -RS (Images via WWD)

Chanel Resort 2013 was a palette that could have come straight out of a box of Laduree` macarons. It had the feeling of a party, of joy and celebration and that je ne sais quoi that is ultra Chanel. These little dresses are some of my favorites- the soft floaty printed silk chiffon ones just as much as the more constructed, narrow gold trimmed ones. A closetful of this collection and I’d be happy every warm weather season, for life. -RS (Images via Vogue.com)
Chanel Resort 2013 is one of the loveliest, most light-hearted collections in recent memory. Karl Lagerfeld went all out with his Marie-Antoinette inspiration, even staging the show in the gardens at Versailles.
There were a few costume-historical elements mixed in here and there in pannier shaped skirts and some fichu collars draped around the necklines, the broad brimmed sun-hats and bright gold trim were pure Sun King (and Queen). But these were done with a light hand, reminders almost of the collection’s touch stone. The shapes became modern with the shortened skirts, the colors were soft and fresh and light, and most everything paired with white or gold creepers meant an updated look. The models wore wigs in pink and lavender and blue as a nod to the Rococo chic of Marie Antoinette.
There were a few classic Chanel looks sprinkled throughout, but not too much. This was not a collection filled with jackets UES ladies of a certain age wear to lunch. Rather, party dresses and- dare I say trendier- shapes dominated. -RS (Images via Vogue.com)
