How does Yigal Azrouël update his signature slouchy-cool silhouettes and washed fabrics in the context of fashion s current minimalism obsession? "I took classic pieces and used different textures to make them more interesting," he said of his Resort collection. A pair of expertly tailored shorts trimmed with a knit waistband, for example, was paired with a slouchy silk pocket tee. Clean-lined blazers featured jersey insets for a more comfortable fit. And for evening, the designer showed a shimmery nude floor-length number he described as "a long-sleeve T-shirt turned into a gown." All told, a successful foray into basics with a twist.
