Autumn fashion, how do I love thee? When I start to smell crisp air I start thinking of layering. Milan-based fashion designer, Marco Corso’s A/W 2010/11 collection displays this the best.

He uses a soft palette with a beautiful blend of textiles and textures. Every single piece is cut and sewn expertly and each separate can be worn with each other.

If you ever dreamed about taking light, floating in the air like a hot air balloon or perhaps drifting away like a kite, I think you would deeply appreciate the mono clothing “flight” capsule collection. Every piece is designed with airy movements in mind and made with top quality knits and jerseys.

Come August 5 2010, the first edition of the mono nomadic shop will open in Vancouver called the MONOSHOP: PROVISIONAL and the space will feature the FLIGHT 2.0 collection along with several installations and 2 film works.

I found this really neat site and I had to share. New York menswear designer Patrik Ervell launched the coolest on-line shopping site. One of the major reasons why I enjoy on-line shopping so much is because I am able to view snapshots of collections at such a fast rate and in it’s entirety.

Ervell has just made the shopping experience that much more fun by bringing his lovely gent to life. He shows his pastel spring/summer 2010 collection with a dashing virtual model that moves and fidgets with his clothes. You actually get to see how the clothing moves and fits on the body.

This e-commerce site is must see. www.patrikervell.com
