I'll admit it. I do feel a tiny bit smug about the polka dot renaissance that's happening this year. I've been wearing (and loving) polka dots for years now - it's a great alternative to the ubiquitous plaid - and I pushed them pretty hard on the runway this season; here's a shot of our opening look:

This season, we found some great corduroy polka dot fabrics in 100% cotton from one of my favourite mills out of Brazil, in a few different colour ways - all great, if you ask me...

Apparently, Armani and Krisvanassache found some polka dots too. Check out Clooney on the cover of the recent Art Issue of W Magazine (wearing Armani)

Here's a link to the Full Shoot — Here's a link to the **Full Shoot**

Krisvanassche went full tilt on the dots too. Just ask Industry expert/fashion blogger Christian Dare, or check out Krisvanassche's (and Bustle) on his Latest Entry

All this polka music has inspired my Pick of the Week. Our Panel Blazer in grey polka dot (incorporating panels of faded fabric - see our opening look, above) is now 50% off on bustleclothing.com/shop; here's the Direct Link

In fact, we also have our Classic Cut Shirt available in grey polka dot, and our Classic Cut Pant available in faded grey polka dot. Because we love you so much, if you like dots as much as I do (unlikely), e-mail Alexandra for a discount code on the pants and/or shirt, and we'll give you 50% off those too.

Hurry hard. Quantities are limited.

Shawn.
