It only came to my attention a few months ago that
some people are confused by the term Haute Couture. If that is the case for you
do not worry check out my post on it and hopefully all will become clear!
I will admit that I too am STILL becoming associated
with some fashion terminology!
Resort/ cruise collections are something which
continued to baffle me up until recently.
So each year there are:
Couture shows : Spring
Fall ( Autumn)
Ready To Wear shows : Spring
Fall ( Autumn)
Pre-Fall: As the name suggests this features
clothing which covers the gap between Summer weather and Autumn/Winter weather
Resort: Therefore, like Pre-Fall these collections
bridge a gap; this time between Winter and Spring/Summer.
Resort collections are sometimes also referred to
as Holiday/ travel collections and consist of Ready To Wear garments by some
fashion brands/ houses, delivered in addition to their twice yearly main shows.
Originally designed for the more wealthy
jet-setters, the collection now offers those who take their holidays in the
winter a chance to buy garments suitable for warmer weathers. These collections
usually enter the shops towards the end of Autumn-beginning of Winter time.
Furthermore, in recent times, due to fast fashion this has allowed
fashion fanatics or summer lovers who have finished buying their winter
wardrobes a chance to buy for the coming season.
So, now if you are either of the above you can do
the same next season!
