Christian Dior Resort 2013

//I have been thinking a great deal about summer, because that is a nice thing to do, and mainly I have been thinking that this summer, I would like to wear a different kind of skirt- a more poofy one, as opposed to the slim, waist-high skirt that has been more popular in the past years. I don't necessarily mean the 70s, mid-calf-lengthed one, but rather a shorter, super poofy one.

//I clicked through numerous Resort 2013 collections in the hope of finding some inspiration in that direction and eventually found the Dior collection (how had I not noticed it before) which I love for its subtlety and...maturity.

Chanel Resort 2013

//Karl's Resort Collection was met with mixed emotions (Inès de la Fressange diplomatically called it "too creative") but on my part, I loved it. Chanel for me has not been very clearly defined in the past years, nor very adventurous. This however is both, risqué and quintessentially Chanel. The influences are numerous: 18th century French royalty, 70s punk rock, Harajuku girls, maybe even a little Tavi Gevinson?? but the underlying theme is consistent...a light-hearted frivolity á la Chanel. I find it fascinating that despite his age, Lagerfeld has the good sense to completely re-vamp Chanel's image instead of playing it safe. This most certainly has the potential to become a cult collection, something like Prada Spring/Summer 2012...
