I know bold prints —Jil Sander, Stella McCartney, Céline and the lot— are pretty much old news. But the fact is that I am currently very much inspired by them. Not only they match my jolly summer mood (despite London's temperamental weather) but they look über-cool when carefully combined with other prints.

As a man, I have to be even more careful with my print combinations but you ladies are so lucky to be able to go a lot crazier. I am loving stripes and flower prints at the moment, especially if the florals are a bit funky and look quite collage-y.

Which prints will you be wearing this summer?

SS11 in a nutshell

This picture, from one of T magazine's latest editorials, summarises the new season that's just starting. Bold is the key. Be it in terms of colour, print or combination choice. It can be tremendously tricky but trying mixes of colours or prints you wouldn't normally wear (it's the summer after all) can end up having successful results. Think Anna dello Russo on on a laid-back day.
