This will definitely be a hot tour, but what I really want to know is: will this one-piece Kim Kardashian posted on Instagram be up for grabs? I think I’m more excited about the potential merchandise than the show!

Show Review: Rosie Assoulin Resort 2017

There’s a palpable positive energy and enthusiasm at the foundation of Rosie Assoulin’s aesthetic—no matter what the real world is dishing out, her designs are always buoyant, bright, and fun. Her latest collection for Resort 2017 was no exception, staged in an empty Meatpacking District gallery with a veritable game of musical chairs and live string instruments wafting through the space.

Texture and volume were on the agenda from the first look: another two of Assoulin’s signatures. A puff-sleeve blouse and floor-grazing, tiered skirt pairing served up flamenco vibes, while a multicolor woven bustier top and blue paperbag trousers with oversized cuffs were completely on-trend with what we’re seeing in the market now.

Trousers were a huge focal point in the collection—the better for tons of wardrobe wear and layering. They came in a yellow, peplum-waist pair, a white cargo version with quilted knees, a linen striped duo that were surfer chic at its finest, and a simple, sand-hued iteration that would work for both the office and play.

Prints and embroidery were conversation starters: season-perfect florals, classic stripes, plaid, and fruits and vegetables that turned a classic, button-front shirt into a fashionable feast.

And because of Assoulin’s popularity with the celeb set, she simply had to include a few red carpet-perfect ensembles. A streamlined gown with a thigh-high slit and grape-inspired embellishment felt very bridal in its approach and a navy halter gown could easily land its wearer atop a Best Dressed list, if it’s two-tone, voluminous sleeves are removed.

Overall, the collection was fun and lively, though not functional at all times. We’re certain style mavens like Solange Knowles will make the designs look approachable and thus spur us all to try them at home, but beware: these looks are not for the faint of heart.
