Oddball Fashion Catalogs

The Rachel Comey Resort 2012 Lookbook is Inspired by Cocktail Parties

There is something playful and quirky about the Rachel Comey Resort 2012 lookbook. As though inspired by the scene in Breakfast at Tiffany's where Holly Golightly and Paul Varjak steal a cat and dog mask, there is an abundance of cocktail dresses, oddball masks and plenty of glamor.

Photographed by Yelena Yemchuck, the Rachel Comey Resort 2012 collection was actually inspired more by a holiday party rather than resorts, one where the designer would "wear an outfit inspired by men's pajamas with little cocktail shoes." Fun, comfortable and all kinds of elegant, this collection is definitely one that will have ladies crying for more.

The Rachel Comey Resort 2012 catalog itself was inspired by photo collage and especially the work of Hannah Hoch.
