Badgley Mischka Resort 2009

This Resort 2009, Badgley Mischka gave a girl an outfit for every occasion. This is pure editorial candy, in other words, as there's an outfit for every magazine spread imaginable, from 'Safari' to 'Bohemian'. The collection, in this sense, reminded us of Oscar de la Renta's Resort offerings, where large brimmed hats, caftans, and beautiful embroidered frocks came together by way of a clean and accessible palate. When you pair down the color and print, keep it edited by sticking to outfits that, each in their own way, necessitate luxury and travel, then yes, you can offer everything from evening frocks to pantsuits. Just like Oscar did. In this collection, the high cinched waists, nudes punctuating by pops of color, and evening dresses in maxi lengths, all referenced the trends we've gown used to by now (which is fine for Resort, rarely does a new trend emerge during mid-season in our opinion). Badgley Mischka, ever the crowd pleaser (well, except for this past Bridal season) has done well for Resort. On to Spring, we say!
