Elegancia {Massimo Dutti April 2011 Lookbook}
04/04/2011 § 4 Comments
Spanish label, Massimo Dutti, recently released their April 2011 lookbook and thereby struck a major chord with me. I adore the quiet elegance of this line — very “classic American style with European elan” — right up my alley (and practically at my front door). A menswear designer that relatively recently moved into the womenswear space, Massimo Dutti champions the kind of look that I love in their latest lookbook: menswear-flavored accents, classic lines, jackets galore, jolts of bright color, pretty flats, swingy skirts, stripes, polka dots…the list goes on. For a girl who enjoys looking like a polished tomboy, I found plenty to love.
Because Massimo Dutti is currently without a US boutique, it looks like I will have to wait until my next trip to London to see the clothes for myself. I’m a smidge wary, as they are owned by the same parent company that owns Zara — a shop I don’t usually have much luck in — but I’m reserving final judgment. From outward appearances Massimo Dutti looks like a label after my own heart. See the rest of the lookbook here.
2011 Cruise Collection
While we are on the subject, the menswear lookbook is rather handsome, as well. See it here. My newest menswear crush!
Really cool label and well made clothes at a good price.
What’s this about a trip to London??
Ooh, you just got me even more excited about this line. Pricepoint is comparable to Zara? More/less??
I’m always working on my next trip across the pond. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.
Love the polka dot dress featured in the first picture- I am a sucker for polka dots 🙂
Even in London I never went into Massimo Dutti. But I do love the red cropped pants here. I think the prices are more expensive than Zara though. I cna’t get in to Zara either. Everything seems to look great in the lookbook but never fits me right… I’m not a Zara girl, wonder if I could be a Dutti one (nearly wrote Pucci there, telling!!)
