Nehera Resort 2019

Nehera took to the mountains for resort, offering a reprieve from the frenzy of modern life with an oxygen-infused lineup of earthy-tinged elegance. A bright yellow pantsuit offered a splash of color, the suit jacket buttoned to one side, the front pocket slightly skewed. The same thick, flowing material was used for a long dress with long sleeves that hung past the wrist. A feather-light cotton material, with thin, light padding, was used for a laced-up top; paired with short, white, lambskin trousers — a chic rendition of thick, wool mountaineer pants of the distant past. Other nods to the theme included thick-soled leather boots, a contemporary and urban version of the hiking boot, as well as patches with vintage versions of the label’s logo with a stylized Edelweiss flower, applied to a navy blue cotton sweater. Completing the outdoor theme was a handmade wicker-basket purse with leather straps, fisherman-style — pulled straight from the past, no adjustments made and rightly so. Fo...

Ji Oh Resort 2019

The Salvation Army is where Ji Oh often finds inspiration for her collections. “You see all this stuff that’s cool but not your size,” she said. “I made it my size by playing with folds, gathering, buttons and tape that’s used in athleticwear.” Her resort collection was definitely not secondhand, but a deconstructed take on her signature shirting done in oversize proportions tucked, gathered and fitted into artful, but wearable shapes. As a whole, the collection was a bit disjointed, but there were covetable pieces to pick out. A roomy asymmetric button-down white shirt was cut to fall from the shoulders and gently folded along the buttons. Tailored men’s-inspired trenches had shoulder cutouts with buckle details and were feminized buy a long, lean cut. A painterly polka-dot shirt worn front to back captured a do-it-yourself spirit in a sophisticated way.

Y’s Resort 2019

Some highlights of Y’s Pink label included a coat, dresses and blouses made in Cord Leavers lace, which is generally used only in haute couture, plus tie-dyed sweatshirts and sweatpants, and prints with a botanical theme such as cacti. Within the Black label line, new for the resort season, were viscose robes, dresses and coats with floral prints made using ink-jet printers, but giving a nod to the “yuzen” dying technique for kimonos dating from the late 17th century. As is tradition, the Black collection is also full of Y’s bestsellers reworked in either new colors or fabrics, and a handful of gabardine looks that were garment-dyed. The expansive line, with something old and something new, makes for a lively offer. Follow WWD on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook .</p Read More... from WWDWWD https://ift.tt/2IDlOf0
