Resort 2009

>>  Little did we know it at the time, but the Marc Jacobs dress that Victoria Beckham wore to the CFDA Awards Monday night was part of his Resort 2009 collection, which — get this — is a homage to Yves Saint Laurent.  As Marc put it, "Unfortunately, it's extremely timely," but does he have a weird sixth sense, or what?

Heart and bow motifs pervaded throughout, and together with mannish high-waisted suits, harem pants, and robe silhouettes, were a fitting ode to YSL.  After that, it was non-stop '80s for Marc — do you see the shoulder pads in that sheer blue dress?!  Metallic shoes, square shoulders, and rose prints filled out the riff on the over-the-top decade.

For more of the collection, check out here and here (some accessory shots).

>>  The Proenza Schouler boys must be ready to make some serious moolah, because they're jumping into the accessories bin full-force. 

 Last month, Lazaro Hernandez professed that he and Jack want to conquer bags for next year, and now comes the news that they've signed a licensing deal with Giuseppe Zanotti to produce a full range of shoes by Spring 2009.  The first taste of the deal will appear with the Resort 2009 collection, and allows Proenza to grow their shoe selection, which has been limited to small capsule collections in the past.
