Resort 24 collections: fabric and material trends

Resort, Cruise and Pre-Spring are all names given to the same set of collections. Normally set to drop in-store during January and February, they act as a precursor to the following spring and summer seasons, often producing trends that will resonate throughout the year. This time around, several designers chose exotic locales to display their runway shows, from the Italian countryside and Cannes to Mexico, Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles and Seoul. It added an extra element of excitement to off-season shows that are historically shot in a studio setting. Overtime, it became clear that certain fabrics and materials, both expected and unexpected, were being used in abundance, giving an indication of what to expect to see in stores early next year.
