"Transforming your showroom into a country club, complete with a grass tennis court, is one way to express how important the season is to your business. Another is to pack your collection with a wide range of clothes (150 pieces!) addressing women's multifarious wants and needs for resort. Posen did both of the above, sending out an array of looks that zigzagged from garden party florals and crisp tennis whites to easy Grecian evening dresses. A colorful group of pieced cottons with grommeted trim were intended, the designer said, for the girl "who goes to the country club and listens to her Bow Wow Wow." Undoubtedly, Posen knows many."
Okay, that last line is a little barf-worthy but it does illustrate a point of view. What you will not see in this resort collection is a lot of caftans or society-matron drag. No, little Zac said "Screw the oldies, I'm going for the debutantes!" This is one of the more youthful resort collections we've seen and because it doesn't appear to be appealing to the widest possible consumer base, it has a nice tight cohesion to it. The silhouettes are, for the most part, very simple, but he jazzed them up with pretty prints, bold graphics, and some eye-popping color combinations. We can't decide if that yellow, green and brown dress is pretty or an eyesore. One thing's for sure; it looked better on the model than it did on Kate Hudson.
