Last night I attended the celebration of the launch of fashion and street style photographer Tommy Ton (of JakandJil)’s collection for Club Monaco. The bags, which are available as of right now, for international purchase at select Club Monaco stores in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia retail for $198 – $225. Check out the behind-the-scenes video as Tommy snaps pics of the bag styles on fashionable ladies and gents during the past Fashion Week season.
Also of MAJOR note: Club Monaco will have it’s U.S. e-commerce launch at ClubMonaco.com on Monday, March 26, 2012. The brand’s U.S. Facebook fans will have early access to shop the site on Friday, March 23, 2012 and through the weekend. The site will offer all of the in-store items, PLUS online exclusives, editorial content, and free shipping and returns (for a limited time).

If Jackie O has taught us anything, it’s keep it simple and classic and you can’t go wrong. For Summer 2011, Club Monaco has done just that. They’ve kept their usual palette, the muted neutrals, with pops of rich blue, sea foam, and lemon. The Vice President of Womens Designs and Club Monaco, Caroline Belhumeur, was inspired by some of her recent travels to St. Barths, Morocco, and the Maldives. The understated sequins and patterned blues are reminiscent of underwater scenes, while the trenchcoats layered over knits for both men and women came from Carey Mulligan in “An Education” and old photos of a young Michael Cane.
The vibe here can assertively be described as urban casual-meets-luxury. Feminine Bomber jackets, lightweight full skirts, and lots of airy cotton and silk tend to be paired together. You can dress up sequined shorts for a Saturday night out, or pair them with flats and a slouchy cardigan for a lazy brunch the next day. Simple, sexy, yet sophisticated. Jackie O would approve. And remember: you can now shop Club Monaco online, via Shopbop!
