This concise issue highlights the youthful side of resort fashion in styles that are fun, edgy and full of energy.

The resort 2013 collections are an increasingly important fixture on the fashion calendar. DESIGNers put the focus on real clothes and offer a wide range of options from cold-weather apparel to vacation-ready high summer styles.
