Opening Ceremony's first Resort collection is everything that you'd expect: funky classics and updated hybrids.
Their offerings were inspired by the music festival circuits throughout the year, and with that inspiration they've delivered street-ready styles that can also take on the mud at Glastonbury.
Lace-up canvas sneakers sit atop a rubber tread mid-heel unit with contrast patent details. A strappy leather sandal

Just stumbled upon this video campaign for the B Brian Atwood Resort 2011 Collection. It evokes everything that his shoes represent: tantalizing and seductive sex appeal.
Although there are no other images on the site pertaining to the collection, after some quick online shopping I found these beauties to get anyone in a good mood for the weekend. Enjoy! -Jenn Tello

FEMME MODERNE
New York: For C/R 12, New York designer Yeohlee Teng offered gentle, understated interpretations of timeless styles. Unpressed pleats, cocooned hems and graceful drapery softened the designer's signature architectural lines. Body-skimming shifts, sheaths (one with an innovative pieced construction) and rounded or knee-lenth shorts were shown in a refreshing palette of dusty desert hues worked against chalky whites; waffle

MISCHIEVOUS MATERIAL GIRL
Milan: Voluminous 80s-inspired silhouettes, festive confetti prints and piled-on costume jewelry made for a playfully bourgeois mood at Miu Miu C/R 12. Sleeves and skirts were pouffy, with ruched shoulder seams and bubbled hems, and modest necklines were balanced by plenty of bare leg. Although ensembles were based around prim items and sweet details (like sweater sets and

PRIM ROCKABILLY
London: Picking up where her S/S 12 Men's collection left off, Miuccia Prada presented C/R 12 looks that conjured multiple periods and places, from midcentury country clubs to Graceland in its heyday. Ladylike belted trenches were given western rockabilly details like piped contrast yokes, and the bejeweled Baracuta jackets the designer recently offered for men were recut for women.

FIT FOR AN HEIRESS
New York: The house of Salvatore Ferragamo has been in the news of late due to its recent IPO on the Milan stock exchange, which generated over $2 billion. Its lavish Resort show seemed of a piece with this new, flashier Ferragamo. It was held in the James B. Duke mansion on Fifth Avenue, facing Central Park,

CUT TO COMMERCIAL
Paris: John Galliano’s absence was profoundly felt at Dior’s recent Resort collection. The theatricality, vibrance and inspiration were noticeably gone, leaving behind a commercial collection based on, well, a beach resort, rather than a Galliano fantasy. Caftans, easy jumpsuits and long pleated skirts were all on-trend and wearable, but lacking the vitality and inimitable technique that the former

RAINBOW CONNECTION
New York: Prisms inspired the vibrant rainbows in Christopher Kane’s Resort collection. The designer is no stranger to bright colors (see his S/S 11 collection), but the current season’s tones were more ebullient than ever, appearing in prints for dresses and tops and knitted into intarsia sweaters. Silver and mauve lamé pieces lent additional brightness and shine, while sequined

GRAPHIC + GIRLY
New York: For C/R 12, Prabal Gurung crossed bold colors and girly patterns with unfussy silhouettes to create a collection of wearable yet fun looks. Graphic combinations of black, white, neon pink and emerald green enlivened floral wallpaper patterns and polka-dots created by hole-punched fabric overlays, while flouncy ruffle hems and sarong-style skirts added femininity to straight drop-waisted
