It’s little secret that the female dandy – as a quintessential look – is one of my enduring favourites. DSquared2 gives us new inspiration for Spring 2011, creating some effortless masculine looks. Some relaxed suit pants and an unbuttoned shirt; chic chinos with a double-breasted blazer; man-style oxfords worn with socks; and to complete the looks (and complete them they do) some masculine accessories – fob chains, pocket handkerchiefs, a straw Panama. Where the duo’s designs entered evening territory the looks were tuxedo-inspired. Black, white, and frankly quite sexy.

um...*speechless* i love this collection but i cant say i saw any of this coming now with all the 'delicate florals' and 'block colours' still so prevalent but then again it is Dsquared and they are known for their fashion forward(ness) [is that a word?lol!]

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
