Resort/Cruise 09 Style Report

Every year, the fashion world bows to the conveniently placed Cruise collections (or otherwise known as Resort) produced by each fashion house. Designed to bridge the gap between A/W 08 and S/S 09 styles, cruise collections lend a hand to the fashion conscious, pointing them in the right direction for the coming season whilst producing new and quintessential looks.

These resort collections are crucial for the re-introduction of sunglasses into our daily wardrobes after the winter blues, and with Chanel, Dior, Giorgio Armani and Marc Jacobs' help we'll be sashaying into the new season armed with our sunnies rather stylishly...
