>> Colorful abstract tribal prints, raffia, wooden beads, and crochet detailing populate Burberry's Resort 2012 collection — alongside the requisite handful of trenchcoats, of course. “With our iconic heritage as the foundation, we really wanted to emphasize this feeling of artisanal and decorative pieces that had been touched by hand, celebrating craftsmanship but always with a playful element,” Christopher Bailey explained of the collection's inspiration.
>> Starting today, fans of Jason Wu can now shop a selection of the designer's Spring and Pre-Fall handbags — including a few exclusive styles — on the newly re-launched JasonWuStudio.com. Visitors can also click a little deeper into the Wu world: A "Craftsmanship" section explores his workmanship and garment construction, while the "Collections" section offers video, lookbooks, behind-the-scenes images, and exclusive image collaborations done just for the site. The most recent of these special shoots? Tommy Ton snapped Tati Cotliar in Wu's Fall 2011 collection on the streets of New York. “It’s actually my favorite collection of his, so I’m very honored to be shooting this particular collection in the way that I do, on a girl like Tati who wears clothes so well,” Ton says of the shoot.
