STELLA STELLA STELLA!

I am going to dedicate part 1 of my resort collections posts solely to the Stella McCartney collection, because not only are the clothes fabulous, but the event itself was super chic as well.

Models lounged around playing chess or dancing to a musical quartet, while guests at the event-including Kate hudson and of course the designer herself sipped cocktails and nibbled on hors d'oeurves. 

The pieces are sharply tailored- each sleeve or collar or shoulder is well defined, however to me, the botanical themed pieces are really the epicenter of the entire collection. Here are my two favorites:

While Stella's prints are fantastic, the majority of the collection is quite minimalist, and the cuts are dramatic and often geometric and square. 

I also really love the varying lengths of this collection- the shortness of the dresses seem just right; not too short but enough to create a spark in the look. This last black dress is one of my favorites too- it's classic and refined. Lately I've been really into the one-shoulder, asymmetrical trend. Yet another feature of Stella's collection is lace, and she used the material beautifully. Here are a few of the lace looks:

The cuts on these four dresses are extremely flattering, and once again for each style the length of the piece really looks great. Don't you love the shoulder on the blue and white lace dress? Notice the asymmetrical cut. 

What did you think of the collection? Wouldn't you love to wear these pieces on your next trip to paradise? After all, that is the idea of the resort collections, isn't it?
