The Brose spring summer 2011 video added a new dimension to the clothes for me. I posted photos from the Brose spring summer 2011 collection last year and I now loved things that I had passed over. I’m still salivating over the strapless feathered dress. You can try your hand at winning a Brose dress by entering the “Long day at work contest”.
I’m loving the short and flirty dresses from Brose’s spring summer 2011 collection. Markia used both ostrich and rooster feathers this season. I’m a sucker for feathers done well.
I wasn’t able to attend the Brose Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 preview in person. I get the feeling I’m missing something from looking at the photos and not seeing the clothing up close. I’ve posted a few looks I like from the lookbook. There is also a behinds the scenes video

Brose Fall 2009 – 2010 Lookbook EDIT: I’ve put the full lookbook after the jump…
I went to the Brose Fall 2009 – 2010 preview at the Lausberg Contemporary Gallery. I heard of Brose through a Globe and Mail Style Council mailing list and have been salivating ever since. Remember, I need more feathers in my life. Brose is a very romantic line; think ballerina shapes, feathers, velvet and ruffles. There is some more tailored pieces that reminded me of Calvin Klein or Jil Sander, very modern with clean, straight lines.
