Gant recently invited us to the exclusive opening of their new flagship store on Regent Street in London. Gant chic can be described as combining American casualness with European elegance and they provide a variety of items ranging from clothing to home furnishings.

We were most interested in their spring/summer 2010 collection, which is inspired by the Italian coast and features themes including “New Nautical” and “Amalfi”. These pieces have an optimistic and adventurous feel.

I particularly love their look book which features exotic Brazilian supermodel Caroline Ribero. They are shot by photographer Alexi Lubomirski on the beautiful Italian island of Capri and feature Caroline in black and white images wearing some classic Gant pieces. Strolling along the bay of Marina Piccola in Gant clothing? Definitely a lifestyle I could get use to! Be sure to pop into 187- 191 Regent Street, London, W1 or visit www.gantuk.com to succumb to the Gant way of life.
