Fashion 2011 Trend: REBECCA MINKOFF RESORT 2012

Young designers looking to build their businesses could learn a thing or two from Rebecca Minkoff. One can see the focus put into the brand. The collection was full of go-to summery pieces over which the loyal Minkoff customer can toss a leather jacket when temperatures drop; there’s a cool bomber in laser-cut suede(not pictured) that should fit the bill. A sienna orange striped wrap dress that looks like a modern sari cinched with a utilitarian leather belt was among the highlights, but the designer’s personal faves were the allover lace looks, specifically an aqua minidress paired with a matching silk shawl-lapel blazer (not pictured). The challenge for Minkoff was how to make the lace less girly. Then her luxury handbags including clutches, shoulder bags and totes, were toughened up this time around with gold spikes and studs.

From left to right we start with the Rebecca Minkoff flowing cream blouse , collarless with mid wrist length sleeves, paired with red-orange Summer short also loose fitting and light. The outfit is finished with a matching cream snakeskin clutch. Then we see at the right a long version of the black and white floral print dress with an ascending hem line and cinched waist.

The great thing about this line is that it can easily go from runway to sidewalk. This is a skill that all designers strive for. Not to mention the clothes are effortlessly youthful and fun to look at. In any event the Minkoff line can be found here at Wikifashionista along with clothes from her earlier lines as well. We like how this line makes fashion fun and accessible for consumers who want luxury clothing at their fingertips.
