Brics Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection

Today I dream about the wonderful A/W 2011 collection from the young Danish brand, Brics.

Behind the brand there's a trio of three talented ladies - Ingrid, Elise and Stephanie who are also the creators of one of the most popular Scandinavian fashion and beauty blogs, Anywho.dk.

Brics is a collection of outerwear and it's all about simplicity and minimalism. I love the pastel hues as much as the oversized shapes, they are perfect for layering!

Anywho... check Brics out :)

Claudie Pierlot Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection

Today I dream about the beautiful Autumn/Winter 2011 collection by Claudie Pierlot.

I'm always jealous of French girls - only they can achieve this effortless, nonchalant and super chic look. This collection represents that perfectly. The Parisian brand which is art directed by two sisters, Evelyn Chétrite and Judith Milgrom, showed the essence of that french charm in this collection.

The sisters share a sense of fashion and business - they are also behind two other brands: Sandro (I showed you their Fall 2011 collection here) and Maje.

I love every single piece of this collection: from the chunky knits, through the starry trousers, stripy tops and tartan ensembles to biker jackets and loafers. Some looks are a a bit masculine, some are a bit dandy but all of them are equally stylish.

Midnight in Paris :)

Raquel Allegra Fall/Winter 2011 Collection

Today I dream about Raquel Allegra's Fall/Winter 2011 collection which is just perfect for autumn!

Raquel is a California based designer who creates comfortable yet elegant pieces. I love the colours: cream, camel, gray and black plus some beautiful tie-dye. The oversized shapes, soft jerseys and chunky knits are just perfect for layering which is my favourite trend for every autumn.

Have a look at the lookbook and some looks from Totokaelo where you can buy some of Raquel's pieces.

J. Lindeberg Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection

Today I dream about the super chic Autumn/Winter 2011 collection from J. Lindeberg.

The Swedish brand, founded in 1997 combines fashion with sportswear. Although designing ski and golf collections is what made the brand famous, the main line is quite different.

It's very smart, elegant and classic. It's mostly tailored blazers and trousers, trench coats and simple shift dresses. To keep it far from boring there's also jeans, chelsea boots and cozy knits. To me this collection would make perfect workwear as well as being wonderful for any occasion.

Do you remember this post about The Kooples, a brand designing matching clothes for couples? This is another example how great a couple can look when styled in a similar way.

Have a look at the beautiful A/W 2011 campaign photographed by Andreas Sjodin.

Paper London Fall/Winter Collection

Today I dream about this amazing collection by the young British label - Paper London.

The brand, founded by Kelly Townsend - who previously worked for Temperley - and Lea Carreno  - previously at Tommy Hillfiger and Pringe - features perfectly tailored elegant and modern pieces.

I love the sleeveless white coat with oversized collar, the simple dresses with graphic designs and tailored trousers with cutout details.

The colours are classic and basic: white, black, navy and red. As for the prices, well, it's not cheap but the fabrics are top quality and all the stitching and detailing is just amazing. Have a look!

Stefanel Fall/Winter 2011 Collection

Today I dream about the wonderful Fall/Winter 2011 collection from Stefanel.

The philosophy of Stefanel - a well known Italian brand founded in 1979 - is "Fashion first. Italian always. Quality forever."

I know Stefanel for the best basics, great knitwear and good quality. They have sophisticated and smart pieces at reasonable prices and that's exactly how the new collection is - classic, chic and timeless!

I love the colours: cream, camel, gray, black and a splash of hot red. The fabrics and shapes are just perfect for winter - everything looks cosy and comfortable but also chic. I adore almost every look in this collection, it was hard to choose my favourite ones so make sure to check out the whole collection here!

The only thing I don't like about Stefanel is the lack of an online shop, but maybe it's better as it would ruin my small budget :) Have a look at the catwalk looks and the campaign featuring the beautiful Daria Werbowy and let me know what you think!

Maynard Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection

Today I dream about the Autumn/Winter 2011 collection from the brand new label - Maynard.

The New York City-based brand created by Donna Potter and Jia Li debuts on the market with this collection and I think that it's definitely a label to watch! 

The lookbook is really beautiful, it's clean and fresh, the clothes are great and the model is gorgeous - what more can you ask for? As for the collection, I love the fabrics - soft jerseys, wool and suede are perfect for Fall!

The colours are my favourite - it's almost all black with some gray and navy. The collection is edgy, very wearable and looks really comfortable. Unfortunately we can't see the whole collection yet but at least we can admire the beautiful lookbook and patiently wait for more!

Casual glamour!

Sandro Fall 2011 Lookbook

Today I dream about this gorgeous Fall 2011 collection by Sandro.

Sandro is a Paris-based label with Evelyne Chétrite as creative director. When creating this collection, Evelyne was inspired by Roger Daltrey from The Who. You can see the 60's influence in it: mods, rockers and a preppy style but it's all about keeping it simple. The collection is casual but elegant, the gorgeous colours and perfect tailoring enchanted me!

I love the peter pan collars, wool sweaters, cigarette trousers, biker jackets and shift dresses. It's street-smart, edgy, a little boyish but still feminine and chic - perfect French-style genuine elegance.

The lookbook reflects that philosophy perfectly - the model, Anabel Van Toledo looks so beautiful here - feminine, modern and elegant!

The Kooples A/W 2011 Collection

Today I dream about the Autumn/Winter 2011 collection from a young, fantastic label called The Kooples.

The french brand was founded by three brothers - Alexander, Laurent and Raphael Elicha, who are also responsible for the Comptoir des Cotonniers. The idea of designing clothes for couples was great as we all like borrowing clothes from our partners and the results are even better.

Although the brand is French the clothes have that edgy British vibe in them. The new collection is a bit rock'n'roll, a bit 'dandyish' but also smart and elegant. All the pieces are perfectly tailored and quite masculine.

The lookbook is great but even more I like the campaign, where The Kooples used real and very interesting couples who tell their stories and of course wear the amazing clothes. What do you think about the idea of coordinating outfits with your boyfriend, do you think it could work and whose clothes you like more?
