Escada Resort 2018...Fashionweekly...On Fow24news.com

It’s Escada’s second season without a fashion director, but the design team seems to be headed in a positive direction under the guidance of its CEO, Iris Epple-Righi, a former Calvin Klein executive who was hired by the brand last April...
The collection, an apparent nod to Isabella Rossellini and her knack for pulling off both feminine and masculine styles, was more relaxed than in past seasons, a detail that was most evident in the refreshing palette of citrusy hues. Archive pieces like Nordic mohair sweaters came in grapefruit pink and lemon yellow for a punchy effect. A Pepto-pink sweater that gradated from knit virgin wool into mohair was a standout.

 Of course, with Escada, it’s impossible not to note the pantsuits—they’re the touchstone of the brand. A testament to how well the label executes its tailoring came in the use of patterns: It’s difficult to add a graphic to office attire—it can come off as fussy—but the square-print pants and blazer set was polished. A fun addition was the sleepwear. These days, pajamas are a 24-hour type of look and the literal embodiment of the Escada customer: a woman who is on the go from her home to the office to cocktails—and sometimes to a plane. Light and easy, it won’t take much to evoke a have-it-all appeal in the luxuriously laid-back ensembles.
