I can never have an outlook on a season without first seeing what Alber Elbaz has put out there on the runway. His women are usually small looking, empowered by the strength and beauty of their attire. The looks he creates are, in my opinion, just perfect. For Resort 2010, our first peak into the fashions of the new year, Alber Elbaz lightens up the economic tone a bit with bold extras and bright baubles, as per usual. But he manages to keep the clothes pretty basic, relaxed and comfortable. This is vacation, after all!
I find Alber Elbaz to be a very smart and humorous man this season, because the vibe I get from his collection is very El Dia de los Muertos. Though we are economically dead or dying, we can still celebrate! I totally love it. 
I love his use of a very graphic, subdued colored floral here for the upcoming resort season. It's playful and practical at the same time, as was most of his collection. The colors of the clothing were more of a somber set of neutrals (besides the aforementioned floral and a couple of sparkly, shimmery numbers), while the accessories screamed of multiple bright colors.
It reminds me of one of my favorite restaurants/spots in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, North Third. The inside of the place is dark with a sparing, red glow of light. On every inch of every shelf, every corner of the ceiling, a massive collection of Day-of-the-Dead-type chotskies and art work tantalize the eye. That's probably as far as I'll be vacationing this season!
