PRADA
A splash of hot pink and burgundy flourished as the most feminine part of Prada's colour palette. Collars remained crisp and the trousers A-line, as models sashayed down the starkly lit runway in the most sophisticated vein of sportswear never set to grace a gym.

CÉLINE
Having spent three years at the helm of Céline Phoebe Philo uses the Resort 2013 collection to reaffirm the signature lines and silhouettes that established her as some sort of Goddess in the realm of tailoring. The Philo girl's penchant for leather is satisfied, and there will be smiles among Céline handbag fiends waiting with bated breath. Two new shapes have been added to the exclusive holdall family: the All Soft (seen here) and the Edge, which has a more structured silhouette than its new fold over companion.

Scarf prints also made a comeback on the Céline scene. Masked under a sheer white playsuit-inspired ensemble lay a pretty pair of shorts and shell top, illustrating a more whimsical side to the Philo-led fashion house.

GIVENCHY
Swirling paisley prints of red, blue and gold were juxtaposed against black and white geometric blocks at Givenchy, for a restructured, modernist approach to scarf patterns. Razor cuts up to the shoulders made for a sharp tailored approach to a gypsy inspired, belted evening dress.

GIVENCHY
Givenchy's cape-like slits extended throughout the rest of the Resort collection, including this biker style leather piece. Other looks showcased ankle-grazing tailcoat details to add further theatre to the print-savvy designer's collection.
GUCCI
Originally lifted from a fifties Gucci scarf made for Grace Kelly, the Resort 2013 collection sees a revisit and reinterpretation of the brand's classic Flora print. Deciding on a more edgy take on the motif, Giannini describes her florals as "unfinished". Turning up on everything from a white linen peacoat to the hems of jersey dresses, the black and white flowers sit confidently between the coloured-in fauna.

GUCCI
Denim low slung, flared trouser suits cast a sixties feel over Gucci's collection with the added help of a few A-line shifts. Signature pieces were embellished with jewelled necklines rendering the décolletage of other fashion brands mundane in comparison.

LANVIN
Ever one to keep fashionistas guessing, Alber Elbaz rocked his previous block coloured palette with a rather large dose of metallics. Gold and silver tin foil effects were brandished on statement jackets and full-on suits. Dare to go space age or opt for tie die and visor numbers, also seen in the more zany side of the collection.

While athleticism seemed to be the thematic thread running through the Resort collection, Miuccia Prada spruced up the racing-stripe tanks and trousers with a colour block fur or two. With matching striped headbands and square gym bags to accompany each look, who thought sports sandals could look so chic.
