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:

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:

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!

Fun yet Fabulously Warm

Yesterday's inaugural post was perhaps a little too serious with all that black and while black (and white) seem to be the trademark colors of Gaultier Junior,  Winter doesn't have to nor should be so serious!

Add some colors to your child's winter outerwear ensemble with this goose down Moncler Coat with detachable fox fur hood.

Or this adorable yet dressy coat for the younger ones (stuffed doll in pocket with bows included, how cute is that?) from Il Gufo 

Or for something that is easier on the wallet this Lili Gaufrette Down Coat with Ruffles:

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!
