For Rag & Bone’s Resort 2018 collection, creating new riffs on essential staple pieces was the primary goal, largely manifesting itself in luxurious fabrics such as cashmere and velvet. With an emphasis on functionality, color, and premium fabrics, the range of pieces draw inspiration from American, British, and Japanese styles sport, sportswear, and work wear styles. Knitwear plays a big part in this lineup, as shown by a crewneck pullover in black, pink, and white stripes, as well as a cream colored embellished piece of the same style. Also notable are flared denim bottoms in both cropped and full length, plush sweatsuits, and understated, positive lettering that read “Merci,” “Have a Nice Day,” and “Let’s Dance.”

The Marni collection at H&M, beyond being highly anticipated, will take on a distinct personality. Consuelo Castiglioni desired to create a “playful range of style possibilities” with prints that pop, innovative sportiness, and an energetic sophistication that recurs throughout. You can expect the signature juxtaposition of shapes in loose dresses, shirts and tops, slender skirts, and well-constructed knits.
Relaxed ensembles crafted of parkas and zip ups have an unexpected sophistication when paired with long Bermuda shorts ($49.95) and suit pants. The patent leather zip up tops ($149) will redefine the basics, as will the silk front cardigans boasting a knitted back. We love the lilac gold brocade against an otherwise practical color palette: black, navy, olive green, khaki, rust and orange. What’s more, there are plenty of abstract patterns that manage to go with everything. Accessories are bold, eclectic and sculptural. Sequined shirt collars ($19.95) as necklaces, resin bracelets meant to be stacked, quirky straw hats and more! We challenge you to blindly grab two pieces and make your perfect Marni combination. In essence, this will define the compilation.
Get ready to explore this ingenious collection for spring, every fashion visionary’s dream. The collection will be available from March 8th, in about 260 stores worldwide, as well as on-line!

T by Alexander Wang continues to wow us by doing what Wang does best: gauzy, over sized and uncomplicated knitwear, effortless maxis, and basics that are none other but manageable. Simple never looked so good. For Fall 2012, T by Alexander Wang introduced full-length leather pants (at $995, they’re a bit pricier than the rest of the line) alongside more feminine pleated skirts and cropped knit tops. The neoprene dresses are anything but submissive, yet parallel the rest of the mainly black, grey, teal and ruby collection rather nicely.
Fendi
Fendi’s Fall 2012 collection of contrasts is nearly indescribable. Who knew nature and artificiality could compliment each other so well? The usage of furs and skins against streamlined skirts demanded attention, and we were equally as intrigued by the crown of warrior-like braids. Coats prevailed as the must-have item in the collection, however handbags came in at a close second place.
The collection was both dark and fresh, introducing subtle color blocking with burgundy and emerald. Those snake-like leggings were reminiscent of Avatar, and when paired with lace-up and furry boots, they were super sexy. With so much going on, it’s clear that Fendi is looking forward to the future of fashion.

St John’s Fall/Winter 2011 collection proved that the label has gone in a new, stylish direction. Traditionally known for its knit suits and cool neutral colors, St. John stepped out of its comfort zone and carefully into the future. With a collection full of anything but dowdy long skirts and a cool silver color palette, it was both refreshing and exciting. St. John now has positive indication of a new direction, thanks to George Sharp, and of offering elegant attire to a new, younger legion of fashion-conscious women.
