I'm a little down today, maybe because of the bad weather, humid and hard to breath. But the moment I review Balenciaga's resort, it did make me feel better. I had though Nicolas Ghesquiere, the designer, means to make his girl a modern city girl, as small jackets, slim pants cutting close to the body are so urban elements, but the garden floral peeping out from the neck, the waist, not to say to the total floral lamp-shade little dress, which obviously give a clue of garden girl. Ghesquiere is such a genius. I just can't stop loving his resort, totally.

The big bows on the waist and flowers around the neck, oh and the cuff, are fantastic.

As for me, Celine tells a story about sharp lines and nude instead of anything else in the resort collection. Nude - the hottest as well as sexiest color this season, combines with sharp lines - might be the last one to be used in big proportion on womenswear design as you know feminine is famous for the curves instead of sharp line, to develop a cool but strong sexy style.
It's hard to imagine but once you see the dresses put on the model, that's enough said. I'm not familiar with this model, but I think Celine did a great job to choose her as the resort model since the moment I see the photos. Maybe she's not sexy enough with gorgeous curves, but that's why she sets off Celine's collection so well!
Designer Phoebe Philo, just returning from her family life and presenting this 2010 resort for Celine - which is also her first collection after comeback, means to make this collection 'stand the test of time'. And you know what? I think she just tell the truth.

A game of nude and lines. Neat, crisp, no more details cause it's unnecessary.

Yves Saint Laurent's Stefano Pilati seeks inspiration from the seaside, though we have no beachy feel at first glance of the resort collection. Different from his SS 09 season obsessed with black, white, and shades of gray, orange, green, purple, yellow show up in silky glitter.
