The neck problem has reportedly been a persistent cause of pain since she was a teenager and was made worse by a car accident in 1987. Pain = a lot of pain pills????? Poor Paula’s been in a pain a loooooooooooooooooooong [....re...

Listen up if you have tickets to the Stone Temple Pilots Reunion Tour! The band cancelled their show Friday night, literally at the last minute (@ 10:15 pm!) and gave some fairly B.S. excuse, according to concert goers. The band’s people cited “inclement weather,” but several reports said the storms they were attempting to use [....

What does Miley Cyrus want for her 16th birthday? Besides a clean STD test when she goes to the doctor??? Like most 16-year olds, the Disney slut wants a new ride. But, not just any ole ride: “I definitely want to get something bad on the road, big enough for all my friends and to scare all the cars away from me. I’m a good driver but...

“I just want everything to be easy,” said Adam Lippes of his ADAM Resort collection—not surprising from a designer who began with T-shirts. But here Lippes achieved T-shirt ease with khaki cotton sateen cut into a smart little dress or cropped pantsuit; great pieces like a quilted bolero with tulle-covered crystals (still refreshi...

What season could be better suited to the talents of Allegra Hicks, queen of caftans, than Resort? Her prints—this season a bold tropical motif and some smaller florals—naturally lend themselves to flowy, beach-friendly separates in jersey, stretch poplin, toweling, and a crinkled gauze that especially captured the sea-and-sand mood. St...

Marc Jacobs sailed Louis Vuitton smoothly into Resort with a collection of mostly pared-down and shipshape looks. There were trim, belted coat-dresses, and sharp skirts cut from a painterly striped print commissioned from London-based illustrator Tanya Ling. Among the nip-waisted suits was one in a classic Jackie O. silhouette, cleverly freshened u...

Alexander McQueen showed his women’s pre-spring collection on the runway alongside his Spring menswear “because they both go into the shop together,” but also to mark the season’s commercial importance. How reassuring to hear from the designer that 60 percent of his business comes from these gorgeous, uncompromising outfits...

How apt that Stephen Burrows decided to take a vacation from jersey, his signature fabric, for Resort. Instead, the designer showed a collection cut entirely in wovens and lace. Despite the shift, Burrows retained his easy silhouettes, using the soft give of elastic, for example, to control volume on an animal-print dress. He also introduced tailor...

In May, Albert Kriemler’s pre-fall collection for Akris briefly quieted retail doomsayers when it netted a cool million dollars at a Bergdorf Goodman trunk show. From the looks of Resort, the cash registers are set to keep cha-ching-ing. In addition to the house’s classic full trousers, there was a new scrunchy, carrot-silhouetted pant....

The days when cruise collections were all about clothes for holidays and parties are long gone. The 30 looks in Giorgio Armani’s latest ran a full gamut, from a reinterpretation of Armani’s office-bound classic suit to a midnight blue tux. Draping was a theme: Tops were gathered to one side with a single button. The emphasis was on a lo...

Instead of a complete change of direction for Resort, Nicolas Ghesquière evolved themes from his Fall runway. But the spotlight mostly swung away from last season’s sculpted, über-feminine look—seen here in a stiff, silvery skirtsuit with matching pointy bra as underpinning. Ghesquière developed Fall’s small group o...

The message was crystal clear as a Baccarat glass tinkling with iced Campari and blood orange on the beach at Parrot Cay: Ralph Lauren’s take on Resort is unabashedly classic. He calls it “takeaway” (but, nope, it’s got nothing whatsoever to do with Chinese food). It’s a wardrobe that says Mustique, Palm Beach, and St....

Jill Stuart re-created her Fall show in Tokyo during the city’s March fashion week. (Stuart is big enough in Japan to be thronged for post-show autographs.) But the designer didn’t take home any Far Eastern references. For Resort, she stayed well within her comfort zone of short, girlish dresses in Laura Ashley-esque florals and fresh, ...

Incurable romantic that he is, Giambattista Valli showed a sophisticated Resort full of flowers and bows that evoked Paris in the springtime. The extensive collection, which accounts for a healthy share of Valli’s business, was strong on eveningwear, with short flower-printed dresses for cocktails and strapless gowns for galas. Both came with...

This October, Ralph Rucci will receive a National Design Award from Cooper-Hewitt. But you scarcely need that nugget of information to know that Rucci likes his fashion sculptural and dripping with concept and reference. All of that was present in his Resort collection, but he also introduced a new element here. Call it Rucci Lite: chic dresses and...

“This collection is all easy pieces to wear and put together,” explained Victoria Bartlett of her sophomore Resort lineup for VPL. The designer stayed comfortably within her perennial edgy-sporty range, showing smart separates like a metallic linen dress that could be topped with a cozy oversize cashmere sweater. Signature bra-detailed ...

After seven years as a designer, Anne Valérie Hash feels she’s “turned a corner with couture.” With a few real clients to dress (young Saudi Arabian customers), she’s aiming to make her collection “more strict and wearable, with a balance between structure and femininity.” This season, she took a botanical t...

After entering the Paris couture season as an Italian outsider a few years ago, Giorgio Armani has relaxed into his stride. Dispensing with hats and other distracting accoutrements, his show opened with a concise essay on what he has always been known for: elegant and easy pantsuits. It wasn’t an exact repeat of the unstructured tailoring wit...
