What, I ask you, is the point of a resort collection if not to inspire some sort of fantasy life? I mean, I know there’s all manner of business-related, fiscal things. Winter season being too long. Need of new merchandise. For me, a resort collection should have a whimsical, almost confectionary quality — purely aesthetic and entirely aspirational. The french macaroons of fashion. Chris Benz’s 2011 resort collection is exactly that for me. It’s what I want my imaginary uniform to be, for my made up life wherein I’m an accomplished novelist living — and entertaining — in Palm Springs.
