Transitioning with Cashmere Down

While you may know Moncler for its unparalleled Winter warmth you might not know that they also have a wonderful line for Spring / Summer with delicious cottons and stylish jackets and windbreakers.

This year they introduced a fluffy feather (no pun intended!) light "cashmere" down in jackets and blankets, which looks lovely and feels divine and is perfect for the transition from Winter to Spring:

Here are some of the items that are in store already:

As well as some items that we are expecting in during the course of the Spring/Summer 2012 Season:

Young Versace - Not Just for Girls

Last post we brought back a little of the Young Versace collection for girls.

But as you can see its not just for girls as we show here.

Here are some of the items that are already in store.  This stunning and rich Young Versace bib insert shirt in a teal blue

and this two piece logo suit with piping.

Not to mention a host of accessories like real leather embossed Made in Italy Belt:

and the satin tie and bow tie.

The Great Outdoors For The Branded Boy

Last nights branded boy needs something to get from the car to the house and vice versa.  What better way then with this Dolce and Gabbana Junior Herringbone Tweed peacoat

 accompanied by this Paul Smith Signature Pattern Scarf and Paul Smith Hat

  

For this look (didn't photograph the hat with it but you can get the idea from the jacket/scarf combo:

Boy's Branded Night Out

Just in time for the Holidays and all those parties that Mom and Dad might bring the little man to, here is a branded ensemble that will show the friends and relatives that even the little guy likes to dress sharply.  We have taken the liberty to blend Armani Junior with Paul Smith and tomorrow we will blend it all together with the Dolce and Gabbana Junior and Paul Smith combo for the Outdoors

Here you get the complete mix:

With a close up of the Armani Junior Herringbone Pant:

The Paul Smith Paisley Shirt and the Paul Smith Thick Knit Shawl Collar Sweater

The accessories by way of the Armani Junior Logo Embossed Belt

And the Armani Junior Loafers

Accessories, Accessories, Accessories

Nothing completes the ensemble quite like the accessories.  Accessories have the ability to take a boring item and spice it up be it a headband or a scarf or tie for men women and children.

You will often see adults wearing a dress or coat from one company and the scarf from another Hermes or our Italian Silk Mantero Collection and the men will wear a Zegna or Brioni suit with a Steffano Ricci Tie, or a scarf  from Alex Begg or Colombo Cashmere with a coat from Ralph Lauren simply using the outerwear as a backdrop for the accessory like this Colombo Cashmere coat with Alex Begg Scarf.

this Prandina Coat with this Hartford Scarf

and this Hartford Scarf with any white or off white item (or any item come to think of it).

 

However when it comes to the kids many moms and dads won't mix and match, preferring to keep to the same brand for both clothing and accessories so you will get this look from Lili Gaufrette

when in fact the same scarf would go well with any number of coats.

Of course when we photograph we prefer to keep them branded together but what iS your preference?  Mixed or Blended?  Let us know!

The Gala Dinner Night Out

The weather may be cold but the fashion at Fendi is as Hot as ever with the luxurious yet classic Fendo Logo Bag embroidered onto the Velvet Black Dress shown here  

This classic piece is festive enough for the Holiday Party yet the black velvet makes it elegant enough for a Black Tie Affair honoring mom and dad.  

For in and our of the car top it by bundling up with this Jean Paul Gaultier Junior Coat featured here 

or the trimmed jacket 

as well as a Gaultier Beret.

As with all Junior Gaultier, very cool and super chic!
