Chris Benz Resort 2009

Candy-colored twinsets, a jellyfish-beaded "souvenir" T-shirt, and a fifties floral print adapted from upholstery fabric all mingled in Chris Benz's madcap "good taste, bad taste" Resort collection. Although the designer cited the archetypal Floridian granny and Carol Burnett as inspirations, these clothes—triple-layer chiffon jackets, chartreuse toppers, and a camp-style shirtdress—are sure to find takers in today's thoroughly modern Millies.
