Jonathan Saunders had a hit on his hands with his bold Fall show, but he didn t rest on his laurels for Resort. He replaced last season s floral prints and strict silhouette with Victorian wallpaper motifs and voluminous lines. Out went the pencil skirts and in came fuller versions with below-the-knee lengths; a pair of evening options in silk had a billowy languor. "I had a feeling for something more feminine," he said at his lookbook shoot. The one thing that didn t change: his brilliant sense of color. Hot pink was paired with poppy red, electric blue with black, and desert brown with dark orange. For the less adventurous he re-created the prints in black dévoré. Well, maybe not so unadventurous—the sheer bits descended from the neckline of a clingy dress to just above the waist. Saunders is doing a trunk show for Fall at Bergdorf Goodman today. We re confident they ll call him back from London for another one with this collection.
