Resort Wear, Try Anywhere!

We are a little less than 3 months away from the premiere of Spring 2014 collections at fashion week. Do you need something to hold you over until then? 
Perfect - because Resort 2014 collections are OUT! 
Resort collections can be somewhat confusing though... Is it just a beachwear collection as the name suggests? It was initially a collection designed for the wealthy to wear on their mid-winter resort vacations, but has now shifted as a year-round seasonal trend for us all.
These inter-season collections mix functionality with fashion - containing everything from bathing suits to formal gowns, and basing most of their looks on nautical influences. So, with that, we present you the hottest trends from Resort 2014!

Sheer Overlays

Dior, Vera Wang, Bottega Veneta

Peek-a-boo! We've been seeing a lot of sheer fabrics throughout the past few seasons. Resort 2014 is continuing the trend with these see-through looks. The high-necklines and longer hems give these designs a tasteful sophistication. 

Cropped

Versace, Jason Wu, Dior

Have you been killing yourself with crunches to obtain sculpted abs? These crop top ensembles are perfect to show off all of your hard work. 

Mix & Match

Suno, See by Chloé, Jean Paul Gaultier

Who would have guessed that snakeskin and floral prints would go well together? Print mixing and matching is no new thing, but the Resort 2014 collections revived this look with a dash of unconventional freshness. 

Stripes

Thakoon, Gucci, Rachel Zoe

Stripes are back! They're bold and adventurous; they're horizontal, vertical, and curved; they're black and white, clashing colors, and mixed prints. There are so many different ways to wear stripes this season!

Inspired!? Us too... now get shopping Drobers!

Fest Fashion: Jazz Fest 2013

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival took place this past weekend (and the weekend before) and despite a little rain (and mud) everything from the music to the fashion (and that insanely good food) was fabulous! Festers rocked out to some serious headliners like Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Billy Joel, Dave Matthews Band and Willie Nelson and of course some local talent from the incomparable Mia Borders to faves like Rockin' Dopsie, Jr. & the Zydeco Twisters.

So if you didn't get a chance to be there in person, don't feel bad (I mean, you can feel a little bad), check out these pics that we here at MyDROBE feel completely capture the essence of Jazz Fest 2013:

Louis Vuitton Fall 2013 - Belles of the Boudoir

The Louis Vuitton runway transformed into a dimly lit, old world hotel hallway for Marc Jacob's debut of his Fall 2013 Collection during Paris Fashion Week at the Louvre... 

I know, we wish we were there too. 

With disheveled hair and brooding expressions the models channeled Italian actress Anna Magnani.

 Each model appeared behind one of 50 doors to give viewers an intimate and somewhat voyeuristic experience of the mysterious and provocative woman behind the hotel room door. 

Louis Vuitton runway shows have long been about the experience, transporting the viewer to another time and place, and this season Jacobs did not disappoint. For this collection, he wanted to encapsulate the femme fatale and what she would wear, or not wear, whilst sneaking into different hotel chambers in the middle of the night. 

The results were half dressed, effortlessly glamourous and sexy looks that could be converted from nightgown, to day, to evening wear.

The accessories were label free, a trend seen with more and more luxury labels as they try to test the strength of their brands sans logos (i.e. Saint Laurent's departure from Yves).

Kate Moss made an epic appearance on the runway, accompanied with applause from the crowd.

True to bed time form, Marc Jacobs wore pajamas from his men's fall 2013 collection. Oh and by the way, Marc will be celebrating his 50th birthday next week and I think we can all agree he has never looked better!

Marc Jacobs thoroughly impressed us this season, creating a collection that not only addresses the effortlessly chic woman, but also speaks to the darker, more mysterious side, which we Drobers know is in all of us.
