Bianca Spender has been on a languid kick. Her Resort 2019 show took that simplicity and ease to the extreme, with a collection of fluid silhouettes in punchy colors. Sometimes Spender struck gold, as was the case with her silky draped jumpsuits with a trompe l’oeil wrap-dress front. Other times, her avant-garde draping got the best of her, as in a series of slips and a shirtdress with strangely placed folds along the models’ torsos. Spender’s more structured pieces, like the cropped white top with sloped shoulders, shouldn’t be missed—their structure will give women a sharper option among the backless blazers.
