While there were some gems like Balenciaga, I found this year’s resort collections to be overwhelmingly uninspired and reeking of redundancy.
Although Miuccia Prada’s 2009 resort collection was reminiscent of past Prada collections, and even Miu Miu for that matter (especially the shoes, which are accented with jewels), but Prada’s collection successfully delivered looks that were at once aspirational, sophisticated, and wholly wearable.
