Whatever Anna Wintour wants, Anna Wintour gets. And this year, Anna apparently wanted the resort season to present a lot more big runway shows than usual.

And while we’ve seen more imaginative collections in the past, this year’s hasn’t been too disappointing. From the summery straw hats at Marc Jacobs and Yves Saint Laurent to the the touches of 1950s Americana at Oscar de la Renta and Christian Dior, the resort collections were ladylike, fun and evocative of a life by the sea in. Albeit a very, very wealthy one.
