And I love the lesson on corporate connections - thank you, Irene!&nbsp;</p> <p>Celia, we <b>NEED </b>to have coffee. We need to have a Toronto meetup, actually. I am in TO usually on the run, either there for work (as this weekend) or on visits to my mother. So I rarely have any moments for any kind of socializing. I would like to make the time to do it, though, and see your gorgeous face in person!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953601 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 21:48:03 +0000 rute 953601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh.. 80% of my clothes are from massimo dutti, yes, i'm addicted </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953596 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 21:44:33 +0000 rute 953596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Irene is right, Uterque is gorgeous, but as a petite, i feel, all their clothes are huge, the s is too large for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953594 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 21:42:28 +0000 rute 953594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite store ever!!!! Perfect description, elegant with a touch of boho!!

I believe Zara is a bit more fashion-forward or trendy, and a bit cheaper, although Zara Woman is becoming more expensive by the minute (bear in mind that Zara started out as a really, really, really cheap store). The other three clothing brands focus on the younger spectrum, while Oysho sells lingerie, also for the younger crowd. </p> <p>If you like Massimo, I would try check if you have any Uterqüe near you. They sell accessories (bags and shoes) but I think they are pretty good quality (better than Zara, and a tad more expensive). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953582 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 21:31:26 +0000 Ginkgo 953582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A less expensive version of Max Mara sounds right up my alley! &nbsp;And I've looked at MD's website and loved their clothes so much I've bookmarked it as my aspirational style. &nbsp;So far the only US stores are in New York and Washington D.C., so it will probably be a year at least before there's a store in California.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953569 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 21:22:13 +0000 celia 953569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wanted to add:</p> <p>How come you are in T.O so much and I never get to have a coffee with you? :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953565 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 21:19:26 +0000 celia 953565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting special report.<br />I used to love Massimo Dutti back in Portugal, their fall blazers and coats were especially nice and their basics(like layering tops) are of very good quality.</p> <p>The one time I visited the store on Eaton , which was on fall I thought they were playing a little bit safe because they tend to be a little more boho, but I guess Euro Chic is the perfect name for it.</p> <p>They do run small because they are actually owned by the same company as Zara .</p> <p>Maybe this winter I will rekindle my relationship with M.D. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953411 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 17:44:10 +0000 Inge 953411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Thanks for elaborating on the tall vs shorter thing, Suz, I completely agree with your assessment.</p> <p>Joy: I had a feeling you would:-)</p> <p>Karie: LOL:-)</p> <p>Sveta: I'm right there with you re: sizing. Bottoms might be difficult, lengthwise too: all the MD trousers I tried on this season were too short. But I'm pretty sure a good number of their tops would fit you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953231 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:08:23 +0000 donnat 953231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! another store to drool over..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953187 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:01:31 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 953187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.massimodutti.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.massimodutti.com</a></p> <p>I love their looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953180 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:53:42 +0000 Anonymous 953180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, we need to plan a Toronto meetup!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953175 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:44:33 +0000 Suz 953175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I didn't know we had a Massimo Dutti, either. And then as I was walking past Ann Taylor I had a dim realization that I had seen it last time I was there and maybe even the time before that, too - but it hadn't "computed" somehow. And from the outside, the store looks a bit forbidding somehow. It's a bit Ralph Lauren-ish (hmmm...the clothes are sort of European RL, too, in a way, at least this summer collection) -- anyway, there's a lot of wood, it looks a bit conservative and expensive....and something in the window display probably made me rule it out as too pricey for me -- before I even went in!&nbsp;</p> <p>It looks as if Canadians can't order online, though. Unless I am doing something wrong.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I wouldn't say that the clothes will <b>only</b> work for someone taller. On the contrary! I think many would look good on someone tall or short.&nbsp;&nbsp;There were just a few tops where I felt, by looking at them, that they wouldn't work all that well for me, personally, in part because of my height (and at other times because of the neckline or something.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953147 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:50:12 +0000 Anonymous 953147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just found the Massimo Dutti tops the Inge posted, and you are right Inge, these fit right in with styles I love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953137 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:34:07 +0000 Sveta 953137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, thanks for the report!I did not know we have this store in Canada! I visited it in Porto Portugal this spring for the first time and was pleasantly surprised as well. I did not buy anything but was really tempted.<br />Hmmm, this sounds like my kind of store - caters to taller gals! A lot of lilac! The only drawback is a need to size up - as my size is already on the top side of the range it is not possible to size up very often :-(<br />I need to plan a trip to Toronto... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953136 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:33:13 +0000 Thistle 953136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the report!</p> <p>I tried to find them online, but their site takes a white to load on my iPad. </p> <p>Lovely pieces, but it does look like no brick and morter stores in the US to try clothes on and figure out your size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953120 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:08:14 +0000 Raisin 953120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never even heard of this line, but now I want to go check it out online.

(I should probably see a doctor for that.) I love Max Marra. Modern Euro with Boho touches? I'm oooing and aahing. And paisley? And nautical? Love, love, love!&nbsp;</p> <p>Hey, wait a sec, did you say&nbsp;these clothes are perfect for someone tall? I'm clapping with glee! (I'd jump up and down, but then my coffee would spill.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I have to run off now, but I will be back later to check out their website. Thanks, Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953104 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 10:07:36 +0000 Anonymous 953104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the report Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953069 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:25:10 +0000 Inge 953069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun to read your thoughts on MD, Suz. I agree about the store set-up and arrangement of the clothes, it's always calming to walk into one of their shops.&nbsp;And yes, this season it definitely is "my store", they got the colours exactly right:-) I hadn't thought of the Max Mara connection before, but that's a good point: they both often have the same simple styles with strong lines going on. Massimo Dutti does classic styles very well, I think, the colour palette does change from season to season, and if I remember correctly they went quite boho last Summer.</p> <p>Sorry to hear that the styles aren't really working for a shorter lass. I can also add that their clothes tend to run small, as with Zara and Mango I need to size up.</p> <p>(Joy, I think you would like their stuff too).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953024 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 03:39:37 +0000 Anonymous 953024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun to find a great new-to-you designer to try! This one was not on my radar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/massimo-dutti-report#post-953015 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 03:21:14 +0000 Suz 953015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a few minutes in the Eaton Centre this morning en route to an appointment, and I did some scouting at Massimo Dutti. I had never been in before, but I know Inge has linked to them and recently we discovered that they do online in N. America. (Not sure about Canada, as I have not checked).&nbsp;</p> <p>Inge, this is your store! No wonder you've been buying from them.&nbsp;</p> <p>The clothes are nicely presented, lovely quality for the price point, and quietly elegant.&nbsp;It&nbsp;felt like a less expensive version of Max Mara. Does that make any sense? Modern Euro classic. With lots of lilac! (One of Inge's best colours). This particular summer collection has a very slight boho tinge to it (with paisleys and some linens and other slub fabrics). And there were some nautical touches as well. But overall it was classic with a bit of femininity.&nbsp;</p> <p>I didn't have time to try anything on. But in some cases I could tell that the clothes would probably work better for someone taller than I am. It had to do with pattern placement and other less easy to identify intuitions.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I'd certainly be interested in shopping there in future.&nbsp; </p>
