MARCH 29TH, 2011 Dress Ssense Tis the season to buy summer clothing… but we may still face another few months of rain. The fashion industry calls this time of year “transition.” Exactly. So we did some browser window shopping at Ssense, one of Canada’s best online luxury retailers, and selected three dresses that can work with tights and cardigans or strappy sandals and bare arms. Get ready to transition into summer! This linen blend Edun Cutout dress ($375) will dress you through to the hot weather, and will work with heavy boots or gladiator sandals. Olivier Theyskens is definitely the best thing that has happened to American fashion brand Theory, and here is one of his superb designs. Wear this Theykens’ Theory Dewi Dress ($630) over a skinny jersey top until the weather gets better. OK, $2,000 is a lot to spend on this gorgeous Givenchy Triple Georgette dress, but with all this speculation that creative director Riccardo Tisci might be moving to Dior, his Givenchy collections might become collectors items. Reason enough for us! —ASI www.ssense.com
