Whilst Chanel reveals its Resort collection for 2014  in Singapore, here are my picks from Resort 2012. The difference between the two collections and even designs by Lagerfeld as a whole has changed from elegant and classic with a twist to rocky, loose-fitting and more masculine - something am an not a fan of. I look forward to the day when Karl returns to what he does best - modern, innovative, neat, elegance with a twist.

Phoebe Philo never disappoints. For her Resort collection she has delivered a cohesive, chic and clever theme (apologies for the alliteration). I really needn't say anything because, as with some of the best collections I post on, I think this one speaks for itself.

Damn, Derek Lam has really excelled himself with his Resort 2012 collection. It is absolutely stunning. The combination of bright and earthy colours and tones with ethnic tribal prints and an athletic cut is genius. And Patricia van der Vliet was the perfect casting choice to model this collection. I am at a loss for anything else to say except that I am very grateful that Derek Lam has delivered such a strong and standout collection for Resort 2012.
