Shop Rebecca Minkoff via RM.com

As the Rebecca Minkoff brand continues to expand, the offerings continue to appeal to a larger crowd. The design aesthetic that I continually find myself drawn to is precisely what Rebecca Minkoff Resort 2012 offered; beautiful prints, flowing clothing, and colors that are both subtle and alluring.

The collection was inspired by the 1970′s in St. Tropez, France. The idea behind the prints was to invoke the look sunlight gives as it shines through broken pieces of glass, which results in an array of beautiful, muted hues. Dominant colors of the Resort 2012 collection include azure, sunset, persimmon, and turquoise.

What I love about this collection is the classic Rebecca Minkoff designs alongside new designs that hold true to the RM brand. The hardware remains bold (sometimes with a bit of a Balenciaga feel), while the bags themselves are casual cool. And let’s talk a little about the shoes – can you say amazing? I spent much of the time in the showroom staring at the shoes and dreaming of pairing some of the bold colored bags with the strappy gorgeous footwear. The bags will be delivered in stores from November to January, for holiday, resort, and cruise delivery.
