Club Monaco: what inspires you?

I love the casting of Club Monaco‘s look book shoots – remember Lauren Hutton for SS11? This season we also have this adorable behind-the-scenes video including interview snippets with the likes of actress Anna Brewster (loving the beret), model Sara Blomqvist and Leandra from The Man Repeller…

As I wrote recently, it’s the natural move for the fashion plate to move into editing her own site and as I also predicted, the focus won’t be purely fashion but lifestyle. Another smart move, there will be ‘click to buy’, not only a way to monetise (I presume it will be an affiliate model) but a good way to research what brands her readers are interested in.
