Celine Resort 2012 Collection

>> Slouchy silhouettes and a heavy dose of prints stood out at Phoebe Philo's Resort 2012 collection for Celine. There were floral jacquard skirts, graphic rose-print jackets, paneled-leather dresses, loose-cut trousers (in hot pink and cobalt), and plenty of sheer blouses to go around. Accessories included oversized belts with giant buckles and shiny white peep-toe platforms. The sum of all these intersecting parts? The kind of cool-girl femininity that Philo's Celine is revered for.

Mulberry Resort 2012 Collection

>> With the 1970s British seaside in mind, Mulberry's creative director Emma Hill presented a jaunty collection of separates and shorts suits for Resort 2012. Cheeky prints in caramel, baby-blue, and pale pink turned up on shirt dresses, blouses, and camp jackets, while bedazzled chambray, enlarged eyelet, and pops of yellow contributed to the retro-boardwalk feel. Accessories included leopard-print pumps, patterned platforms and matching visors.

Stella McCartney Resort 2012 Collection Accessories

>> Stella McCartney's Resort 2012 collection was a literal garden of delights, and the accessories were no exception.  We spotted Hawaiian-print beach bags, neon lucite sandals, and lots of cool, faux python. Click through to see all the accessories, as snapped at the Resort presentation.

Lanvin Resort 2012 Collection

>> A diverse group — Madame Gres, Elizabeth Taylor, and the Princes Harry and William — were Alber Elbaz's inspirations for the Lanvin Resort 2012 collection. There were softly draped dresses and jumpsuits in shades of citrine, taupe, and ivory; marching jackets in tweed and leather; and plenty of ruffles and fringe to go around. Accessories included frayed tweed fedoras, silky turbans, oversized beads (layered on in multiple) and paneled, chain-strap bags.
But that's not all. The outing also marked Lanvin's first foray into children's wear and featured 15 looks for girls ages 4-10. The festive collection of mini-me styles included a voluminous crimson number, a smart taffeta trench, and, a velvety pinafore in Prussian blue.

Acne Resort 2012 Collection

>> A little '50s, a little '40s, and lots of downtown charm. Pastel leather, floral-print taffeta and torn denim populated the Acne Resort 2012 Collection. Crinkly blouses with Peter Pan collars looked sweet, while maxi-length hems and motorcycles jackets — sometimes layered over pants — made for an appealing mash-up of formal-meets-casual style.
