Spring to life in Bruuns Bazaar's dresses.
As spring commences to go into full swing, it’s certainly time for us to pack away our big woolly winter knits and load our wardrobes with some fresh new springtastic clothes. Bruuns Bazaar, the Danish label established by brothers Teis and Bjørn Bruun, opened its first store in Asia last month. We took the courtesy to check out its nature-inspired minimalist store in Hong Kong and found some of the most beautiful dresses that reflects a warm spirit, full of the joys of spring – pretty and perfect for the season. Here are our top spring picks:
Available at Bruuns Bazaar.

VPL's sexy and sporty underwear
With sportswear-inspired body conscious clothing in the spotlight this season, there’s no better time to show off your visible panty line. Perfect for this job is the underwear collection from New York based label VPL. Established by stylist Victoria Bartlett, VPL begs for differ in terms of their philosophy and concept of design by making underwear something no longer suitable to be hidden underneath, but rather, as the acronym of the label suggests, visible. When you see the designs, the reasons would become naturally evident. Obviously, it is stylish and sexy, but what’s more is that it brings out an idiosyncratically sunny and healthy altitude – that is evermore fresh and fascinating. So what are you waiting for? Show off your VPL proud and loud!
Shown in the picture above are VPL’s insertion bra (USD$95.00), Stripe B Bra in Coral (also available in Navy – USD $85.00) and Stripe B Undi in Navy (USD $75.00). Available at Barneys and La Garçonne.

Lanvin's extravagant Stanislas Earring
Add a sense of fun and style to your final look with Lanvin’s adorable Stanislas earrings. Shaped by delicate twigs of shiny brass to form the silhouette of a playful little poster child for endearing cuteness, then, adorned with exquisite crystals and red coral beading; this pair of earrings glows with subtlety, class and extravagant refinement. Yet, its tribal influence creates a remarkably raw touch that makes the entire thing seem primitive in the way that it connects no-time-to-waste city life into the full embrace of Mother Nature. At ~€543.00, this lovely doll-shaped pair, for me, is definitely a timeless piece worth purchasing.

Peter Dundas of Emilio Pucci crafted a new sexy curve in the stimulating shade of nude for Spring/Summer 2010. Watch out! Ready or not – here comes his stunning and striking asymmetric cut-out and lace-up swimsuit (USD $645)! Surely, there’s nothing more provocative than this skin-flashing skin-coloured piece. Namely, playing with the perplexing visual effect using those crafty means of his, it is revealing in that distinctively dangerous and delightfully daring way – bringing us excitement of a new height!

Christopher Kane is all dolled up!
Christopher Kane introduces another stunning T-shirt collection for Spring/Summer 2010. As oppose to the iconic gorilla Ts or the equally horrifying atomic T, the Glasgow-born designer surprisingly opts for a different direction this time around – something sweet as honey and just as mesmerizing as a magnet. Featured on his Tees is the hand drawn chubby little face of a cherubic angel, whose gorgeous face is so adorable that we just want to pinch. There is something remarkably special about this figure. Whether it is her glassy eyes, crown of fuzzy hair or her bow-shaped lips, she expresses a sense of sorrow in a poetic way. Available in various colour as well as black and white, this fabulous T-Shirt will surely cause another stir amongst fashionistas all over the world.
Available at Mrs H, The Corner and La Garçonne. Prices start at SEK 2.250,00 at Mrs H.

Russian model Vladimir Ivanov in Zegna Sport Spring/Summer 2010 Collection

However, recently, with designers from all over the world coming up with all sorts of sportswear-inspired creative designs, Ermenegildo Zegna’s leisure line Zegna Sport, which specialised in the field since 1999, is certainly leading the pack with its high tech concepts and stylish and comfortable approach.

Magnificence from McQueen
Spring into Spring 2010 with a splash of colours in honour of the late Designer Alexander McQueen. The legendary Brit’s paint splash jeans ($570.00) are indisputably a unique piece that not only looks great, but also an inimitable keeper that speaks colourful tones of explicit individuality regardless of age and season. His bi-colour stripe cotton t-shirt ($315.00) is, similarly, fantastic with its masterful applications of painterly strokes in orange and blue - bringing the ferocious image of a lively wild tiger to mind.

Torn tee & cardigan print top by Inside Out
Ripped and torn could look utterly unbearable and heinously hideous, if not done correctly. Thank god we have Inside out! With its exquisite eye for quality and design, the 2007-born British label totally rocks high fashion’s lavish version of the derelict look. Designed by Central St. Martins Graduates James Woolfin and Yvette White, this long sleeved T-shirt (£165.00) is our pretty pick of the pack. We just love the exuberantly eccentric print, which features an incredible image of a torn tee and cardigan. It adds flair to the look and turns this simple garment into something genuinely fantastic that deserves to be bought and worn a.s.a.p.!

3.1 Phillip Lim Initials Lingerie Spring 2010 Collection.
Earlier this February, we looked at 3.1 Phillip Lim’s Initials lookbook for Spring/Summer 2010 and drooled over its sugar-filled sexiness. Today, we meet the lovely lingerie collection once again in the vast spaces of the lavish Department store Lane Crawford. Whether seeing it on the doll, on the models in the press photos or alone as itself, the collection exudes youth and elegance with a sense of health and well-being. Sportswear has, no doubt, placed a hale and hearty dose of influence on the collection making us wanna forget all about our outerwear and just run out of the house in 3.1 Phillip Lim’s Initials lingerie.
