Louis Vuitton Resort 2011

“A little bit Lolita” mixed with a return to curves was how Julie de Libran, Louis Vuitton’s design director, described Marc Jacobs’ aesthetic for his resort collection. In jewelry and accessories, that initiative was taken to the extreme. An extension of Jacobs’ ultrafeminine fall Paris show, the designs for resort included in upholstery florals with flared skirts, nipped waists and pushed-up busts. Retro was the aesthetic, but these pieces were thoroughly modern. The prints of fruit vines and peonies on flouncy skirts was simply adorable, while a pair of high-waisted trousers in double-face navy cotton, belted over a navy lace T-shirt, had a vibe that was more seventies than fifties. The louche glamour of the silk blouses and suede jackets, meanwhile, nicely juxtaposed the sweetness of the aforementioned pieces. A pale pink and cream trimmed bouclé number with a gentle full skirt was a standout.
