Donna Karan Resort 2012

Donna Karan, normally known for her expert draping, did a sport and body-conscious collection for resort 2012. I love resort collections since the "summer" theme means the clothes are so wearable. This collection does not disappoint since all the looks translate well into the real world. The full skirt and fitted bodice is so 1950's (just check out that shirt waist dress!) but Donna Karan renders her pieces in modern fabrics and details in my favorite color pattern--red, white, and black. I also love the nod to the 40s with the cocoon coat and skirt suits. The collection is so retrofuturist!
