What the name will be, or if it will ever be changed, are questions that I don’t have answers for. It's possible that the term Resort could remain attached to the season forever. A vestigial organ with no real meaning. A marker. A placeholder.
But as the name remains the same, the season itself continues to transform. Even from last year to this year, you can see the further eradication of those things that once defined this space between deep winter and early spring. The larger and more established houses, as well as a smattering of other brands, relied more on the history. They did, of course, play with threads from the previous season and, most likely, from the season to come. But these were mostly clothes for those who spend the harsh winters lounging on various stretches of the Mediterranean coast. Women who spend winter days in shoe-optional environments.

For those not jetting off to warmer destinations, there was much to choose from and be inspired by. The majority of the labels used the season as an incubator for themes to come or as an extension of things that had passed.

The clothes were almost seasonless. Able to be worn anytime of year and not just in the no man's land of Resort.
