Let’s remember again  trends for the summer 2013. After presenting the Resort 2013 collection at Versailles, it’s only fitting that Chanel should expand on the theme with an ad campaign that channels the chateau’s most famous resident: Marie Antoinette. Dressed in decadent layers of ruffled pastels and styled with the requisite courtesan makeup and big hair, Cara Delevingne plays the ill-fated queen with plenty of pomp and sass — and we think it all comes together quite nicely. Click through to see the entire Karl Lagerfeld-lensed campaign, plus all the recently released Resort ads — including Miu Miu’s supermodel-packed outing — here, in our ever-growing campaign gallery.

MILAN, Italy — We tipped our friend Sonny Vandevelde to give us a behind-the-scenes look into the collections in Milan for Spring/Summer 2013. Japan was clearly on the mind, with unmistakable silhouettes and motifs from the island nation appearing in strong outings from Prada and Etro. Versace and Dolce & Gabbana made their seasonal statements in a flurry of prints, textures and covetable accessories, all in the spirit of their house signatures, while Fendi’s stand-out modern colour blocking was the talk of the town.
