Pink Tartan Highlights

There are many reasons for spending a few hours wandering around Toronto’s tony Yorkville and one is certainly a visit to Pink Tartan’s Flagship store.

The store occupies the heritage building on the corner of 77 Yorkville Ave across from trendy Café Nervosa and Anthropology. The new Four Seasons Hotel and residences has just opened down the street at Bay and Yorkville and Pusateri’s Fine Foods is steps away. Nothing is more enjoyable than a stroll around this neighborhood. You might combine the day with a trip to the newly redesigned ROM minutes down the street.

The Pink Tartan flagship store is a little jewel. Kimberly Newport-Mimran has imbued it with her taste and personality, sharing her private art and putting her personal stamp of excellence on this ‘lifestyle concept store’. The Pink Tartan store is perfectly curated with carefully selected specialty items including books by the famous French tea emporium Mariage Freres (and the exquisite tea), Pony Hair pillows, scented candles, stationary, monogramed velvet slippers and the luxury toothpaste brand, MarvisPink Tartan is a design house that combines today’s fashion and lifestyle needs with accessible elegance and sophistication. Newport-Mimran has her customer’s every need covered from underwear to outerwear. We fell in love with the perfectly paired accessories like the cobalt suede bootie from Chloe and theMark Cross mini doctor bag.

simplicity is the secret to elegance” says Pink Tartan cofounder and Head Designer Kimberly Newport-Mimran. Pink Tartan is a fashionable women’s sportswear line defined by modern classics, “Clothes to live your life in and easily transition from day to night.”

The Pink Tartan Spring/Summer ‘13 fashion collection gives metallics a pretty twist, presenting them in elegant brocades and pairing them with this season’s fresh, muted pastel palette. With Pink Tartan, the wildly popular “pattern everything” trend gets refined with cut-outs and simple scallop details. Structured shifts hit a new level when they are embossed with Spring appropriate details like flowers and charm-like shapes. Golds are paired down into small prints and finite detailing in trims, buttons and zippers. Unexpected details like cropped flared capris and high-waisted swinging A-line skirts left us enchanted.

 

Kimberly Newport-Mimran co-founded Pink Tartan in Toronto in 2002. A New York showroom opened in 2004. The Pink Tartan fashion line is available at Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Holt Renfrew, The Bay and specialty stores across North America, Dubai and Seoul. Kimberly Newport met and married Joe Mimranthe genius behind the highly successful affordable fashion line Joe Fresh and is her life and business partner.
