Early Spring Express from 2011

Leading Words: As the season transitions into autumn and winter, fashion trends are heating up, making people feel "on fire." With the weather getting warmer, our eyes crave something cool and refreshing. That’s why we’re bringing you a sneak peek at the 2011 early spring resort collection—some pieces may even serve as great references for seasonal styling or shopping.

Fashion has evolved to cover two seasons throughout the year, with the Early Spring Resort Collection being one of the most anticipated. From May to June each year, major brands unveil their upcoming collections, which often reflect the essence of a vacation lifestyle. The early spring series was originally inspired by wealthy women enjoying sunny escapes in the Atlantic during the end of winter and early spring. With a holiday vibe, these collections exude romance, sensuality, and a touch of luxury, making them both stylish and versatile for different occasions.

While the northern hemisphere is basking in summer heat, many stores are clearing out last year’s summer dresses. This season, focusing on autumn and winter fashion can really make you "burn" with excitement. But when the weather is hot, it's always nice to look at something fresh and cool. So take a look at the 2011 early spring resort collection now, and some pieces might just become your go-to style inspiration.

Short is in:

There are countless dress styles, but many women find it hard to create a unique look. It often feels too conservative or rustic. However, in the 2011 early spring collection, we noticed that simple dresses worn by models looked incredibly stylish. Beyond their flattering silhouettes, the key was the skirt length—short enough to hit mid-thigh or higher, paired with high-heeled sandals to elongate the legs and add a touch of elegance.

Anna Sui

Anna Sui’s 2011 early spring collection featured a range of printed dresses that felt approachable and youthful. Whether it was a sleeveless ruffled dress, a cherry-printed puff-sleeve dress, or a long-sleeved ethnic print dress, all came with short skirts and color-matched wedges. The overall look was fresh, charming, and perfect for a relaxed yet stylish outing.

Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney’s 2011 early spring collection took a more relaxed and modern approach. The dresses were mini in length and designed with a loose A-line silhouette. The lace fabric was treated like stiff cotton, giving the skirts an architectural edge from the side. This collection was all about effortless elegance with a contemporary twist.

Emilio Pucci’s iconic prints were used more lightly and transparently in this collection. A green printed dress was layered over a bikini, while matching hot pants were cut to a similar length. If you have beautiful legs, this outfit will not only keep you cool but also feel light and comfortable without any burden.

Celine

Celine’s 2011 early spring collection also embraced the short skirt trend. Floral patterns and A-shaped silhouettes remained popular, but the focus was on high-waisted designs that emphasized a refined, urban elegance. Whether skirts or pants, the line was clean and sophisticated.

Derek Lam

Derek Lam’s 2011 early spring collection was very feminine, featuring ruffled skirts, bold purple accents, and deep V-necklines. The shoulder designs were particularly eye-catching, adding a unique flair to each piece.

Jason Wu

Jason Wu’s early spring collection included short and narrow skirts. Models wore oversized knit hats and wooden heels, creating a tall and slim silhouette. The proportions were carefully balanced for a polished, elegant look.

Of course, wearing a short dress requires having well-proportioned legs. Also, if you're over 35, it's best to think twice before trying this style.
