For Resort 2013, ethereal designer Erin Fetherston once again created an overtly feminine collection featuring vibrant colors and spiritted neutrals in her signature dress style. For resort, Fetherston is making a bit of a departure from her usual frilly tea dresses by stealthily moving into some heavy sequins, gowns, and separates. Erin spoke to Style.com of the collection saying, “It’s about energetic, bright, crisp colors.” While the collection is still quintessential Fetherston, she dabbled in some darker colors and body conscious looks as well to create a bit of complimentary toughness.

Marchesa Resort 2013

by

PreviousNext

Marchesa presents Resort 2013, a collection inspired by delightful childhood memories of an English garden party. While you may not have been attending elegant soirées, you can certainly envision the free imagination and larger-than-life looks of the collection. Colorful cocktail dresses and long evening gowns find a companion in delicate, lightweight tea-length coats. Playful tulle and and laser-cut lace seem faultlessly aligned with mother of pearl accents. Divergent tones of fuchsia and blue with ivory and rose add an element of depth to this enchanting vision of a garden party, a party I’d certainly like to attend!

Alongside the collection, Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig will debut a complementary collection of their signature handbags. Day-to-evening bags are structured in vivid exotics, and delicately embellished crystal miniaudieres and envelope clutches remain true to evening wear.
