It’s official! MERCY designed a capsule collection of women’s clothing for lifestyle and children’s store, Advice from a Caterpillar, in Toronto’s Rosedale neighbourhood.

Available only at Advice from a Caterpillar (not at Gaspard), this limited run collection consists of several timeless pieces, each carefully designed to be both minimalist and sophisticated.

Styled by Daniela Bosco (@chassegardee), these lookbook images of the collection demonstrate how each piece can easily be incorporated into your existing wardrobe with basics like jeans, a great jacket, ballet flats, oxfords – or even sneakers.

A great holiday outfit!

These separates will provide you with lots of wear this season and beyond. The gold blouse is made of a light, delicate wool, with the perfect amount of champagne sparkle. Pair it with navy, charcoal, black, white, dark green – almost any colour looks amazing with it. And believe it or not, this skirt is made of a beautiful thick, rich silk used to make men’s neck ties! The skirt has amazing body, is very forgiving, and looks equally great with a white cotton button down shirt, or a chunky knit sweater.

A big trend for Fall/Winter 2014 is the oversized clutch. This one by Les Prairies de Paris pays a modest nod to the trend, without running the risk of being over too quickly. The proportions are only slightly exaggerated (which does have it’s advantages with being able to carry slightly more than just your lipstick and keys!). It’s clean lines, and oh so soft leather in a rich navy, is very easy to have and to hold.

A very simple and beautiful look of bright, clean greys.

This minimalist wool sleeveless dress can be an absolute wardrobe staple. Layer a thin breton stripe shirt or fitted long sleeve t-shirt underneath, or try a jacket or cardigan over top – both if it’s cold! This grey and white Intarsia cardigan by Mina Perhonen is made in Japan and absolutely stunning. We have included a number of views so you can get an idea of just how special it is – and while light and bright in feel, this outfit is winter appropriate, made of wool.

We are so excited to introduce the first delivery from MERCY of the season! There are many beautiful pieces to get you excited for the upcoming change of weather! One of my favourites is the waxed cotton trench coat. It comes in 3 colours, all with real horn buttons and a cotton lining. I must let you know that they are very limited in quantity, so don’t wait on these! The trench coats are simple to maintain, and do not need to be oiled. They will develop a beautiful patina naturally over time. Definitely a piece worth investing in for the long run!

I could go on about the versatility of the new wool blouses, or the beautiful colourway of the jumpsuit and meccano dress (both an amazing Japanese indigo denim with deep burgundy, black and grey/green camo print), but you should just scroll down and have a look for yourself!
