Bustle designers Shawn Hewson and Ruth Promislow’s latest collection epitomizes the rich kids’ winter trip up to the cabin for a chill week of sufficiently cold activities like dog sledding and snowshoeing.

And what does the squire wear when entering the foreign territory of winter cottage life? Apparently, a dreamy collection of lounge pants, sweaters, well-fitted trousers, layered tees and cotton flannel underneath sartorial jackets in classic check and stripe prints. What more can we say? We approve.

John Fluevog has done it again.

The post The Pink Porter first appeared on GLOSS: The Fashion Magazine .

Vancouver shoe designer John Fluevog announced the production of The Porter Shoe, being designed this spring, exclusively for Opus Hotel properties in Vancouver and Montreal.

“It was an idea that originated a couple of years ago, and as time went on it was more of a question of ‘why haven’t we done this yet,'” says John Fluevog.

Made with Italian Analine leathers and branded with OPUS Hotels inside, the black patent shoe features a pop of pink leather that matches the colour scheme at Opus Hotels.

The Porter Shoes ($329) will be showcased in the hotel lobbies and worn by valets and male guest service associates at Opus Hotels. And if you really love the shoes, they will be featured on the hotel mini bar menu and in limited numbers at all ten North American Fluevog Shoe Stores and online at www.fluevog.com .

An army of models made the journey down the Parisian runway, transformed into historical characters for John Galliano’s spring 2010 collection. Shirts were wrapped around the head and turned into turbans, with wide leg pants or shorts, completing the look with a collection of belts layering the waistline.

A Tarzan-like model appeared with a calla lily wrapped around his head as a crown with a bronzed body, brown open shirt and bright yellow printed underpants.

With long cloaks, loose shorts, harem trousers, vests, and distressed leather jackets, the collection inspired by Napolean Bonaparte left the imagination soaring to medieval times, a Charles Dickens novel, and even a modern day twist on the Pirates of Penzance.
