Her 2012 collection is particularly poignant, in her own words this year’s collection is dedicated to women with the “…determination to overcome obstacles and their ability to never stop loving with heart and soul.” You will see symbols woven throughout the collection that reference this theme such as the heart pendant with small lion in the centre as a symbol of women’s courage. Stop by the store and view this incredible collection of impeccably crafted pieces. Below is a sampling of what we brought in.

Khadi and Co from Paris http://lesliejane.com/2012/new-to-lesliejane-khadi-and-co-from-paris/ http://lesliejane.com/2012/new-to-lesliejane-khadi-and-co-from-paris/#comments Thu, 03 May 2012 08:39:12 +0000 admin http://lesliejane.com/?p=357 We have found the most beautiful assortment of scarves and shawls from Paris based Danish designer Bess Nielsen. Each piece is exquisitely hand-woven in India from cotton and linen. Khadi and Co supports the self-reliance of entire villages in Kerala, Penjab and Bengal with rural employment initiatives inspired by the Khadi movement started by Mahatma Gandhi.

This small design house produces pure and simple, wearable silhouettes in irresistible fabrics. This Spring-Summer textured linen group is the perfect transition between seasons in delicate colours like ice, mineral, and spice. Get it before it’s all gone!!!

There’s plenty of exquisitely designed pieces with that distinctive Parisian edge. The colours are delicate and sophisticated with spring neutrals such as chalk and ficelle (string in French) and subtle hints of colour like ice blue. The fabrics are gorgeous and details are fun and unusual like fun polka dot mesh lining on the linen coats. Don’t miss it!!!

At LeslieJane, spring is in the air. Boxes of light and airy, embroidered and lacy, decidedly romantic fashion arrive daily at the store.

As we head into a new season, I leave for Paris and the hallowed halls of the Porte de Versailles to discover what’s available for fall.

I am astonished by colour. Orange and rust predominate.

 

 

 

 

La Bottega di Brunella, Elemente Clemente, and Lilith embrace orange in varying hues and aren’t shy about wearing it on top or bottom or tied around the neck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am seduced by the warmth albeit lightness of wool. Manuelle Guibal and Elemente Clemente (to name only two) feature long and short coats, beautifully detailed in luxurious cashmere. There is also a wealth of merinos, alpacas, Italian and French wools by new designers vying for my attention.

 

 

 

I am amused by Kirsten of Elemente Clemente and my young assistant who, with a realm of feminine styles from which to choose, favour a classic tweed blazer from the men’s collection.

 

 

There is so much to see, I am overwhelmed. I also want to save some surprises.

I love Paris in the springtime but because fashion markets have to feature the next season’s styles and colours, I am happy to leave the city of romance and return to beautiful BC and open boxes – it’s almost like Christmas every change of season – to welcome news from our favourite designers and introduce a few new ones like the Swedish “Aurea Vita” who stole my heart the last time I was in Paris.
