Club Monaco’s Fall 2 Lookbook

Remember back in May when I went to London and complained about the currency? I wasn’t just globe-trotting. I was capital W Working and the fruits of my labor are now starting to fall from their respective trees for you, me, everyone really, to take a bite out of. I was taught never to end a sentence in a preposition but I hate that rule so again, to take a bite out of. You see, London is where Club Monaco aptly decided to shoot their Fall 2 lookbook and at the time all I could ponder was how hard it would be to wait until September to see the images but guess what, it wasn’t that hard! Patience is a virtue, my friends. What was hard, however, was modeling posing alongside some very serious fancy fashion folk. I’m talking: Bambou Gainsbourg, Lou Lessage, holy girl crush: Sara Blomqvist…

 
The lookbook was shot in an old, super rustic home in London where livestock i.e. little turtles hang out and really enjoy British life. Everything seemed to perfectly executed but I was most excited about during the entire ordeal was the notion that in celebrating Club Monaco’s recent move overseas, the entire shoot would also be featured in the Dazed & Confused super chunky 20th anniversary issue. 
I’ll be wearing this and shaking my tail feather like Zelda Fitzgerald probably would have wanted.
Then…I’ll be running cross country so look out for that too.
In honor of the lookbook and this “collaboration” of sorts, I’ve been working as Club Monaco’s September Culture Club curator, it just seemed a good fit to coincide with lookbook which will, by the way, be available in entirety after October 5th. You can peep that here. And because it wouldn’t be a collabo without a little free swag, they have a little contest going on to find out what inspires you here, which you could toterly enter at your own discretion. It would have been rude not to tell you. Free clothes and a camera, why not?
