How the fashion calendar works?
Typically in the fashion world, these are combined into two seasons as Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Spring/Summer begins in January and ends in June. Fall/Winter picks up in July and runs through December. Seasonal clothing doesn't fall exactly into a fashion's calendar pattern.
Officially, fashion is divided into four seasons. These are Spring/Summer (SS), Autumn/Winter (AW), Resort, and Pre-Fall. SS and AW fashion weeks are held in Paris, Milan, New York, and London.
Pre-fall fashion refers to the small capsule collections released by designers just ahead of the fall fashion shows in February, and arriving in stores in early summer. Pre-fall fashion is usually unveiled in a less formal, smaller-scale runway show to the primary Fall and Spring Fashion Week shows.
Nowadays, fast fashion brands produce about 52 “micro-seasons” a year—or one new “collection” a week.
The process by which a particular design, activity, color, etc., comes into some popularity and then phases out.

Typically in the fashion world, these are combined into two seasons as Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Spring/Summer begins in January and ends in June. Fall/Winter picks up in July and runs through December.
Resort, Cruise, Pre-Spring, “Holiday,” whatever you wanna call it: they're monikers for the same thing. It's just interchangeable fashion jargon to describe the same pre-collection that comes after Fall/Winter clothes have gone on sale but before Spring/Summer clothes have been delivered to stores.
From a timing perspective, Pre-Fall begins to deliver from April - May. The reason you may hear less about it is because—unlike Spring / Summer and Fall / Winter—this seasonette isn't organized around an official Fashion Week calendar, nor is it (typically) presented on the runway.
