Sarah Burton, still rather fresh over her triumphant wedding-dress-of-the-century for Kate Middleton, debuted a crisp and romantic cruise collection for Alexander McQueen. Channeling an African expedition via '40s silhouettes and Edwardian fabrics, the collection was dreamy, but utterly wearable.

Resort 2012 Trend: Pajamas 2011-06-14 13:20:45

We've seen slouchy, silky pants and tops for Summer, but we saw two resort 2012 looks that has us thinking pajamas are going to be here for a bit. Celine showed an oversized striped pajama set, while Louis Vuitton presented a more polished pajama outfit, complete with helmet (for those late-night moto rides, you know).

Oscar de la Renta Resort 2012 Collection 2011-05-17 08:44:48

Oscar de la Renta's resort collection paid playful homage to Picasso via cubist prints and bold allusions to Spain, the artist's homeland, without compromising the classic elegance for which Oscar is known. Dresses were treated with patchwork and embroidery, and finished off with hats that looked stolen from a flamenco dancer's closet.
