Jil Sander Spring Summer 2010 Accessories
I loved the colours and prints in the spring summer 2011 Jil Sander womenswear collection. I didn’t enjoy the actual clothing too much. It’s the silhouette. It’s too oversized for me and only waifs can pull off such a look. The accessories are amazing though. The prints are so perfect. I was more interested in the handbags. The shoes not so much as they were complimentary but not very exciting to me. Check out the Jil Sander Spring Summer 2011 Womenswear show. And check out the Jil Sander Spring Summer 2011 Menswear show which I thought was brilliant. images: style.com
Pink Cobra Summer 2011 Fashion Film

Staple x Oakley Sunglasses
I love me some Frogskins, so the Staple x Oakley Frogskins collaboration caught my eye at Colette. This special edition eyewear design was created in collaboration with Jeff Staple, founder of Staple Design and Reed Space of New York. Since 1997, Staple Design has created one of the most respected street culture brands in the world. Oakley was founded in 1975, the same year Staple was born. Jeff Staple continues to revisit the most legendary models of the Oakley brand, and it was the turn of the famous “Frogskins” to display the symbols of the brand of the founder of Staple Design and Reed Space in New York.Frame features two tones of grey, translucent plastic, “Pigeon” laser etched on the lens, matte black. In addition to the reworked Frogskin, Jeff Staple created a new design for Oakley, the STPL Holbrook Sunglasses. These sunglasses are polarized and can fit prescription lens. The color inspiration for the STPL HOLBROOKâ„¢ is falling snow, and the frame carries accents on the stems of its Polished White frame. Staple chose …

Aquilano.Rimondi Spring Summer 2011
It was a beautiful dinner at Trattoria Giancarlo at Clinton and College for the Aquilano.Rimondi designer dinner. Holt Renfrew invited select media to have dinner with one half of Aquilano.Rimondi. Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi were the brains being 6267 and decided to change the name of the line to something more personal. I hadn’t payed much attention to Aquilano.Rimondi or 6267 much before the dinner.  Two models displayed select items from the Aquilano.Rimondi Spring Summer 2011 collection before the food was served. I noticed the beautiful prints first. The dresses were just divine looking and very sexy with the super high thigh slit. Check out the Aquilano.Rimondi spring summer 2011 collection video. images: style.com

We Are Handsome Spring Summer 2011
I’m on a bit of a swimwear kick right now and I think We Are Handsome is the best. I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve posted about them. This Australian based company should know a thing about swimwear. The We Are Handsome Spring Summer 2011 collection is in their print heavy style. They make a great one piece that can be worn on and off the beach. There aren’t any retailers in Canada but they are carried by Opening Ceremony and Opening Ceremony Ace Hotel in New York City. There are a few online retailers and net-a-porter.com carries them. images: wearehandsome.com
