Athletic stripes. Block colours. Oversized garments. Turtlenecks. Circular detailing.
The resort 18' runways showcased a variety of new and reworked styles, with many designers either showcasing floral feminine textures and cuts, or androgynous thought-provoking layers and garments. Though the fashion calendar may be half a year ahead of Australia, not seeing any of the current international trends trickle down into our stores until about six months after they're shown, the resort 18 collections are a great way to gather a sense of what will be popular in the next coming months. Plus it's another excuse to spend hours trawling the internet and day-dreaming over expensive pieces of clothing that you may never own..... guilty as charged!
Check out some of the best (in my opinion) resort 18 collections from the most recent season!

#1 Solace London
Combining simplistic block colours with artistic and unconventional cuts, Solace London showcased beautiful garments made from ribbed fabric, shiny leather style material and dark-wash denim. An almost androgynous collection, Solace London proves that style and comfort can easily be streamlined.
#2 Edun
Attaining a funky and fresh vibe, Edun's resort 18 collection once again uses block colours and textures in their collection. Taking inspiration from African colours and patterns, this collection evokes a sense of happiness and refreshment. Edun is also focused around sustainability and promoting a sustainable fashion industry, which really interests me as well.
#3 A.L.C
With a darker colour palette, androgynous cuts and my personal favourite, turtlenecks, A.L.C puts forward the idea of a powerful young woman who doesn't let her style define her, she lets it only contribute to her domination. This collection focuses heavily on turtlenecks, darker colours with pops of mustard and brings it into the current fashion spectrum by including white sneakers as the continuous footwear in the look book.
#4 Maggie Marilyn
Maggie Marilyn takes on classic style in this resort 18 collection. Stripes and ruffles are the focal point of this collection, with the main colours being red, white, blue, green and yellow, once again all block colours. Taking a minimalistic approach with oversized garments, Maggie Marilyn puts forward the idea of letting small amounts of colour draw your attention in outfits.
