The Vionnet Resort 2010 collection was the breakout offering from creative director Rodolfo Paglialunga. A modern take on Vionnet's way with draping the collection features hit after hit--each look is rich with color and sensationally draped. Paglialunga hails from Prada, where he was Miuccia Prada's assistant for thirteen years. We're looking forward to seeing his offering for Spring 2010, which will be revealed during Paris Fashion Week in late September.

Peter Dundas' Fall collection for Pucci, his first as the house's creative director, got flack for its uncanny similarities to Balmain's Spring '09 collection. But the criticism didn't seem to bring him down because his resort line, inspired by the sea, remains energetic. "The Pucci girl represents joy, energy (and) fun," Dundas recently said. If you look closely, you'll see Pucci's signature Palio print, but it's not as obvious as when Matthew Williamson was head.

“

“And in terms of the ‘pre-coll’ what is interesting is the timing,” says Mr. Toledano. “It allows us to sell Resort at the end of May, then it is delivered October/November - a long period when sales are strong, and the stores want new things. I think the current system, when the spring runway collection is shown in October, is very late - when three quarters of the buying has already been done.”
