This streeter has opted for a striped blazer (as opposed to the near-ubiquitous Breton-striped tee) and paired it with some bright pink trousers that are perfectly on trend with the vibrant pops of colour on the runways of Milan.

Looking at this streeter and her peach sweater gives us the warm fuzzies. We love the textures of her outfit (who doesn’t love a quilted chain strap bag?) and the muted palette.

POP goes Milan! Shock waves of jolting colour have electrified Milan Fashion Week!

The Jil Sander show on Saturday was an explosion of color and volume and is sure to go down as one of the most important shows of the season. Starting with simple white tees paired with flourescent maxi skirts, the mind-blowing DayGlo combos just kept on coming!  Couture silhouettes from the ’50s and ’60s mixed with tailoring and sport-utility touches. Love the fluorescent soles on neutral pumps, the stripes and flouro-florals, and bright nylon shopping bags. Simple, saturated and strong!

Sunday morning. The  sun is streaming into the Villa Necchi Campiglio and I’ve just been handed a perfect cappuccino out by the perfect poolside garden and I allow myself a rare, blissful moment to dream that I’m home…. But alas, someone pinch me: I’m at Tod’s spring presentation, held at the location of Tilda Swinton’s disfunctional family home in the film I Am Love.

While many of us (i.e. me) agonize over what to wear each day there are glamourous women like Paris Vogue‘s fashion director Emmanuelle Alt who seem to possess effortless style. Yes, we know it’s not actually effortless, but still, Alt’s tux jacket and cropped leather pants have a laid back vibe we love. See the full look after the jump.

Yank your grandma’s white linen tablecloths off the table! If Dolce & Gabbana have their way, spring will be a lacy white affair with doilies, curtains and table linens doing double duty as pretty, feminine dresses, bloomers, corsets, lady suits and babydolls. The dynamic duo did their favorite silhouettes all in  “bianco” lace, embroidery and broderie anglaise. With only a few soft floral prints, a smidge of black lace and some signature leopard prints thrown in the mix, the collection was almost singularly one note–and a clean, fresh and a fabulously feminine, one at that.

We’re digging this streeter’s delicious mix of neutrals and the weird-cool cut of her two-tops-in-one shirt.

The Toronto-born, Paris-based print master Calla Haynes (calla.fr) is presenting her Spring 2011 collection in Paris next week. As a show invite, the designer, who’s worked with Jeremy Laing and Olivier Theyskens (at Nina Ricci), created a teaser video with creative consulting pair Lisa Rovner and Alice Heart of Message is the Medium. The video […]

Between two of my favorite Milan experiences (the Prada show and my beloved bowl of spaghetti rosa), I hobbled over to the hopping Brera District to congratulate fellow Canuck Mark Fast on his brand spanking new collaboration with Italian retailer Pinko (sort of like an Italian Bebe) that will be in stores for spring.

While this streeter’s shirt may be buttoned up to the neck, there’s nothing severe or stuffy about her outfit. We love how she cinched the waist of her harem pants with a leather obi-style belt and added a little pop of colour with her red bag.
