Phoebe Philo never disappoints. For her Resort collection she has delivered a cohesive, chic and clever theme (apologies for the alliteration). I really needn't say anything because, as with some of the best collections I post on, I think this one speaks for itself.

Damn, Derek Lam has really excelled himself with his Resort 2012 collection. It is absolutely stunning. The combination of bright and earthy colours and tones with ethnic tribal prints and an athletic cut is genius. And Patricia van der Vliet was the perfect casting choice to model this collection. I am at a loss for anything else to say except that I am very grateful that Derek Lam has delivered such a strong and standout collection for Resort 2012.

This Resort 2012 collection by Diane von Furstenburg is another standout this season and what a relief it is to see such brilliant, vibrant and colours and prints gracing the runway. In a similar style to Jil Sander and Proenza Schouler, this collection has combined the best of both worlds, a sporty and sexy cut with a  bold combination of colours. This is one of the best collections of Resort 2012 and I commend von Furstenburg for refreshing the fashion landscape with the pieces above.

I really wasn't that impressed by Marc Jacobs' collection this Resort 2012. There were quite a few different prints included but it didn't seem to make it any less ordinary or plain. It was all just quite aesthetically uninspiring. Of course, the pieces above would work well as a simple and youthful addition to any wardrobe and they are definitely worth highlighting for their beauty. But, the rest of the collection I believe will not be as successful - the price tag, I predict, shall not match the quality of design and awkward colour combinations.

There were a few stand-out pieces in this Resort 2012 collection, Burberry never fail to offer something new, be it new prints, coat material combinations or trend offerings. I was happy enough with this collection when I found the above pieces. The others I found to be merely a recycling of the Burberry signature look and not quite as special and unique as these pieces. Good work.
