With spring in the air we’re loving the new Martin Margiela-designed Hotel La Maison Champs Elysées in Paris (pictured above) for its subtle variations on classic white – especially the “loose covers in white” suite, where every object is wrapped, Christo-style, in white cotton.

A key trend this summer, white is also a failsafe classic for your staple wardrobe. Pay tribute to the new season’s minimalist aesthetic by combining our Tluxe classic white New Suzie Q tee with skinny jeans and ankle boots. Come summer, it’s all about keeping shapes simple and accessories to a minimum, a la our new season house model Emma Balfour, seen here pictured in a dress from the new Tluxe spring/summer 2011-12 collection, which hits stores this month.
