Mcginn Spring 2011 Lookbook

I’ve been a fan of the South Korean label Mcginn since I caught sight of their merch last season.  The construction and quality is solid, the prints are great and the styling is very on point.  Mcginn’s attention to detail is obvious in both separates and dresses.  Also, I love their outerwear/jacket pieces that are so wearable but still carry off a lot of attitude.  The clothes are always pretty but not syrupy sweet.

I had a chance to see what’s new for Spring 2011 again a while back and I thought I’d share with you some of my fave pieces plus the entire lookbook for your browsing pleasure.  Spring 2011 for Mcginn is all about romance,whimsy and nostalgia.

This jacquard draped jacket is not only totally fun but would look great over LBD or with skinny jeans!  The leather jacket is a slightly more elegant take on the biker style.

The soft drapey utilitarian jacket is a wardrobe essential.

The drapey twist effects of this dress look really great on the body!  Would be perfect with a little black cropped moto jacket…I love the contrast of sweet and tough.

For a springtime wedding or event, this dress is adorable perfection!

Mcginn is available at Nordstrom, Kitson, select Anthropologie stores and boutiques.

Preview: McGinn Fall 2010

I recently had a chance to check out McGinn's Fall 2010 line. Since the debut in 2004, South Korean label McGinn has quietly made it's way into magazines and onto celebrities including Heidi Klum, Michelle Trachtenberg, Isla Fisher.

This was my first time seeing the contemporary label up close and personal but I was immediately impressed by the quality of fabric and the construction. The fabric didn't feel flimsy but like it had good body to it while the prints were soft and not stiff. The printed fabrics had a great vibrancy, richness and depth of the colors that is often seen on more designer level pieces.

McGinn's soft sculptural approach to fashion is very simple yet modern. I love that nothing looks overdone but there are all the right elements that make the line truly wearable while still maintaining effortless sophistication. I think the strengths of this collection lie in the dresses and the great outerwear. The dresses are perfect wear to work and wear out pieces, while the shearling aviator jacket is mere perfection that I can see thrown over just about anything. Perhaps the Burberry influence is having an effect on me but how I need!

McGinn is priced from about $150 for a tank to $800 for the shearling jackets. It can be found at Nordstrom, Kitson and select Anthropologie stores.
