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.

Former Bay Street lawyers Shawna Hewson and Ruth Promislow turned in their litigious lives in 2002 to start Bustle (bustleclothing.com) and we’ve had our eyes on them ever since.

Showing on the first night of LG Fashion Week in Toronto, it was clear that rock was on the runway with a collection fusing Mad Men with prints and pastels. The dress shirts rocked – lots of unusual prints, stripes, checks, and light colours like pink and powder blue.

Not on our favourite list was the boxy shape of some of the blazers and the over styling of excessively busy prints, even if they were in the same colour scheme – sometimes less is more.
