Black crinkles

Vera Wang’s Earth
Anabela Belikova, Martina Correa and Nathalie Chablat in Vera Wang’s Resort collection 2009
There are three things I love about Vera Wang’s collection this year. The first of which is the use of that crisp fabrics crinkled together. Whether pants or dresses, it is truly effortlessly chic! The second thing is the earthy tones. It’s so heavenly. Finally, the third thing is: Anabela Belikova! Over the seasons, Vera Wang has really striked me as a “Here Comes the Sun” brand and the doll-faced Belarusian model, who was once listed as Anastasia Belikava with the agency “Sergey Nagorny Minsk” in Belarus, is just perfect for the brand, as her face lights up any image and I am happy that she got the Spring/Summer campaign.

Country Flowers

Colour blocks

Grecian Goddess
Valeria in Zac Posen’s Resort Collection 2009
For this resort season, designer Zac Posen offers a youthful mix of clothes for the girl “who goes to the country club and listens to her Bow Wow Wow”1. He worked sweet floral prints, such as delectable cherry blossom as well as blocks of concrete colours à la lego style into short and long dresses. Despite the fact that I no longer suffer from the hype over Zac Posen2 on a personal level, I actually find the clothes very nice. The floral prints worked well, esp. on Martha Streck and above all, it is nice to see Anna Kuchkina smile. She is and looks adorable in Zac Posen! I also liked those dresses with blocks of colours printed on them. There is something comical about it making it young and fresh and it goes so well with the “superhero superpower superfashion” mood of the moment. This print even infuse strikingly into Grecian evening dresses.
Overall, it is not an exciting collection but it is definitely nice and wearable.
