New Brand Alert! LOFT DESIGN BY... (Paris) Men's Vintage Style T-Shirt

Cut as simply and as efficiently as possible, with a sense of detail and a colour pallet both neutral and contemporary: that is how the LOFT design by... products are defined.
Created by Patrick Frèche -a retail expert and arts enthusiast- in Faubourg Saint Honoré, Paris, lifestyle brand LOFT Design By… is now 22 years old, with a sterling reputation for its paired-down luxury basics for men, women and children.
The label is also known for applying unique treatments to fabrics to enhance the look and wear-comfort.

For founder Patrick Frèche, clothes are an affordable luxury which should never overpower the person wearing them. These LOFT design by... men’s T-shirts --in either round neck or a gentle V-collar-- offer a cool vintage touch and an inimitable softness - as if they have been worn forever.
(RRP €55.00)


With visible brickwork, metallic lamps and industrio-bourgeois ambiance, LOFT design by... boutiques are clear, airy spaces that project the label’s ‘loft’ spirit.

3.1 PHILLIP LIM Striped Drape Dress

Chic style was never so easy. Soft and swingy, 3.1 Phillip Lim’s cotton-silk mini dress gathers beautifully and flatteringly around the body in a draped silhoutte. Whether at work (under a blazer) or at play (with metallic heels), this low-key starlet will steal the show!
(RRP US$495 / £399)

Happy Saturday!
While other bulldogs are killing time on the pavement, tongues hanging out in exhaustion, Tillman's hitting the skate parks, beaches and slopes. Enjoy.

REBECCA TAYLOR Daisy Print Dress

This Rebecca Taylor dress is inherently girly with its sweet daisy combined with the slightly ruffled neckline, but the easy, basic design and respectable length make it appropriate for any occasion. The grown-up charcoal shade is a welcome vacation from black, and flatters most complexions.
Bright pumps and maybe a simple, long necklace are a fabulous way to incorporate some personal touch into this delightful dress.
