Max Azria: The best moments of this show came in the form of minimal, body-skimming rayon jersey dresses and free-flowing draped numbers that would work for nearly every body type. Other items, such as a pair of leather capris, worked visually but would be a practical nightmare to pull off in hot weather. Kenya Hunt/Metro
Michael Kors: Michael Kors has always done luxury really
well. This season, he gave his jet-setter a beachy, athletic edge.
Sometimes, it worked such with a belted, black, knee-length bodysuit or
a striped, slouchy shirt dress. Other times, he veered into Annette
Funicello in “Back to the Beach” territory with large polka dot prints
that simply felt too old. METRO/KH
Betsey Johnson: Betsey Johnson’s
collection showed clothes for dolls and jolly pirates refusing to grow
up and leave Never Neverland. Looks channeled Wendy in country girl
pajama dresses with calico prints; a sophisticated Tinkerbell in
corsets, hoop skirts and tiers of ruffles, or Captain Hook in a
double-breasted pirate’s coat and white, ruffled lace shirt. Brides
looking for playful frills or structured bodices on full skirts will
also have options.
