RUNWAY REPORT.....Resort 2012 Trend Alert: Scuba Chic

Where's the Swimming Instructor?

Herve Leger by Max Azria Resort 2012: "Tron" Divas Much?

The 2012 Resort Collections are in full swing and it seems that several designers are into the Scuba Theme. Lord knows why. But they are. It's an Official Trend darlings! It's about COLOR BLOCKING, very fitted, Spanx-like fabrications (Hello Ladies, can you say...Forgiving?) as well as, it's "Resort" so, let's go Swimming!!!...to a Cocktail Party! I guess it makes sense--right?

Michael Kors Resort 2012: Not so sure about those Teva Sandal-looking shoes. Not a fan...In NYC, the Hamptons, or Mykonos...Not so much! It's definitely anti-fashion fashion.

Alexander Wang Resort 2012: OK, now we're talking! This looks a bit better, in terms of using the "Scuba theme". Wearable. Sexy. And still "Real Life" when it comes to looks---especially the swimsuit with ankle-strapped heel!!! Ha! ABSOLUTELY Love that!

Donna Karan Resort 2012: Scuba looks for the 40-something with "Designer Fashion" money. I'm OBSESSED with that color-blocked knee-length pencil skirt!

Derek Lam Resort 2012: Scuba Looks for the NYC Trust Funder...For sure!!! Very cute.
