Still in school, this Minnesota maiden spends her free time (weather permitting) practicing archery at the range down the street from where she lives. Ready to work full time over the summer, with her perfect pout and heart shaped face, it wont be long until Grace is placed internationally. And while she wont be ready to go full time just yet, everything in fashion comes around again, so Graces doll-like beauty first epitomised by Gemma Ward and Heather Marks in the 2000s is set to be making a comeback in the near future. |

By Laurent Folcher After my somber-palette fall runway show, I wanted to challenge myself working with colors, said Julie de Libran, Sonia Rykiels artistic director, as she introduced her resort collection a fresh, playful, kaleidoscopic lineup that was anything but subdued. Stripes are at the core of the Rykiel vocabulary and de Libran worked them in abundance: multicolored on woven cotton tweed jackets, bold and contrasty on a knit skirt suit with plastic thread embroidery down the front zipper, diagonal on sequin mesh dresses, or cascading like lasers on a knit halter dress embroidered with micro sequins. Another leitmotif was vermilion red, which popped on allover satin bombers with matching shorts or as red patent-leather sandals worn with flouncy dresses in crinkle-pleated cotton, a highlight of the collection. A sense of fun emerged in a profusion of rhinestone pins and brooches, another Rykiel signature, used like charms to decorate a denim jacket. And this season, de Librans denim also mirrored the collections vibrant hues. |

Karl-Heinz Adlers seemingly simple linear drawings inspired Tina Lutzs nifty complex stitch work and prints for her TSE resort collection. In terms of knits, she interpreted Adlers graphic lines into spongy striped sweaters that reversed to a sporty heathered solid. Wrap-waist trousers and tunic dresses came in diagonal-strip prints and Lutz emboldened the houses solid cashmere with subtle graphic stitching and a bit of playful novelty, such as ponchos and a terry jumpsuit. The crisp palette of bright red and blue, plus black and white, made it all feel fresh. |

Inspired by Halstons trip to Acapulco, Mexico, in 1976 which the designer took with an entourage of Halstonettes in tow Marie Mazelis channeled a tropical vibe for her sexy resort lineup. I wanted to capture that spirit of glamour and ease and holiday, she said. Wide-legged jumpsuits, billowy blouses, sheer caftans and lightweight pleated dresses done in a palette of punchy greens and lavenders, and punctuated with pops of black and white had a retro feel with deep necklines, high slits and cutouts accented with hardware. |
