Posen doesn't believe in the current formula of modernity in fashion, that pared down choices or minimalist design somehow necessarily equals something more contemporary.

"There's something modern about creating diversity," said Posen.

But there's a practical reason for the bursting-at-the-seams Resort collection as well, having to do with the needs of retailers. The clothes sit on the floor for six months, he explained, so you have offer a wide selection. Posen said they were seeing a 90% sell-through rate. So the more he can offer, all the better for sales.
