A girl can only design so many poufy party dresses. For more than half a decade, Londoner Roksanda Ilincic has traded in voluminous frocks, and when she wasn t doing those, jackets with serious shoulders. For Resort, she switched things up, thinking two-dimensionally—in the spirit of the artists Ellsworth Kelly and her longtime favorite Kazimir Malevich—about collaged shifts and camouflage prints. The change did her good; this was a winning outing for Ilincic, eye-catching and wearable in equal measure. One of the best looks was a simple sleeveless dress color-blocked in shades of navy, black, and white, worn over trim black pants, but there were lots of on-trend brights as well. A silken jumpsuit made from a camouflagelike floral print in aqua, fuchsia, red, and violet incorporated most of them. Trousers are an uncommon sight here, though you d never know it from the persuasive case she made for the dress-over-pants look. A pair of empire-waist dresses looked like a consolation prize to fans of her previous collections, but Ilincic has moved on. It s a good bet her customers will with her.
