They say it's never too late. Although we're deep into fall haute couture, there are still some gems to explore from the Resort season. Marc Jacobs brings us a bright, colorful collection presented in an exquisite lookbook.

Against an electric blue background, the models pose wearing striking floral prints and geometric shapes. They might not be wardrobe basics, but who wants to wear basic garments while sipping on pina coladas and getting a massage under tropical palm trees...

And it's not just the prints and bright colors, but the complex retro-inspired shapes. Short jackets with three-quarter length sleeves are teamed with oranate seventies silhouettes that are both exaggerated and childlike. Sequins and patchwork make this resort line suitable for all occasions, at least for any that involve strolling in a bay at sunset, endless cocktails and optimism.
