"Anna's Garden" on Resort 2013 Collection by Anna Sui

At first glance, it looks like Classic Sui, but look closely at the richly colored Art Nouveau prints she favors, and the blossoms are all there. Anna Sui called her Resort Collection "Anna's Garden."

Marios Schwab - London Spring 2013 RTW

"Cha O Ha". That was the Title for Schwab show this year, which he said, Navajo for "in the wilderness." The Navajo and the Amazons seemed to be reference points for him. The fringing, the lacing, the slashed suedes had something of the frontier about them. The raffia felt more rain forest. The harness detailing in leather or Swarovski crystal suggested Amazon princesses. Then there was all the pleating, which echoed the chiton of ancient Greece. And don't forget the bees. Their honeycomb was a recurring visual motif. Often, all these elements came together in one outfit. It was too much. And when he pleated soft, shiny skin colored in vivid shades of pink and blue, they injected an additional incongruity, looking like nothing so much as sheets of Plasticine laid accross the body.
