Yves Saint Laurent resort collection 2010 looks fantastic! Probably it’s just my so-much individual opinion as I love this brand very much. I do love almost every piece of the collection for the exception of those terribly looking bloomers the model is wearing at some of the pictures.
Stefano Pilati, who currently collaborates with Yves Saint Laurent, confessed he was partly inspired by seashells when creating the line. However, there isn’t anything overtly beachy about his Resort range. I would even say it was too far from summer vacations and seaside rest.
The collection is focused on classic cocktail dresses made of light fabrics like chiffon, satin; beautiful jackets and trench coats, classy trousers and sheer footless pantyhose of various tints.
Cocktail dresses are amazing. Some have flowing silhouettes, others are a bit puffy in skirts. There are simple but very elegant designs and there are those which look more complicated in style with voluminous or cutaway sleeves, lantern skirts and nice gathers in front.
Jackets are presented in a huge variety of designs. There are short leather jackets which can be worn with street-style clothes; jackets of classic length and tailoring which look very well with office wear and cocktail dresses; and long jackets to be worn with more casual styles.
There is a light and comfortable maxi-dress in the line too and this is just the one for summer vacation, here I have no arguments against it.
If we speak about accessories, belts are sure to mention. They are thick and very thin, made of leather or fabric, come in a diversity of colors and some are adorned with stones.
Jewelry is rather limited. Necklaces are beautiful. Some are long and thin, others are short and massive. I liked the necklace with huge pill-like elements! Earrings and rings are not as popular as bracelets, which mostly come bright and big.
There are lots of sunglasses to protect eyes during the summer period.
The collection of handbags is brilliant: a few big and middle-sized bags and a number of perfect clutches, one of which was attached to the outfit and needed no carrying!!!
Of course I can’t miss the shoes as these are my fave items in all ranges. Shoes are also very classy. Sandals are so feminine and sophisticated, mules have high steady heels but provide much cover-up for the feet, some are peep-toed, others are not, strappy and strapless… I could go on and on… Perfect shoe line!
And the last thing to tell about the range is the color palette. It is bright, including fuchsia, orange, gold and green, but at the same time there are lots of muted tones, such as light green, all tints of brown, white and coral.
