Resort 2011 favourites: Costume National

You know I love it - sleek, sophisticated tailoring with an edge. I cannot agree with Nicole Phelps at Style.com more when she writes: "It's when Capasa does understatement that his clothes have the biggest impact."

The Cruise Collections are here!

Yes! This week the Cruise collections/Resort 2011 hits the stores. This year there were a magical mixture of dots, stripes and colours in many of the collections combined with some clean, basic holiday garments in basic colours brought forward from the Fall 2010 collections; black, white and camel. Apparently we are still not tired of them.

My 5 favourites among the Cruise collections are:

• Miu Miu
• Moschino Cheap & Chic
• Costume National 
• Alexander McQueen 
• Salvatore Ferragamo

In my coming posts I will highlight my favourite outfits from the above collections. Stay tuned!
