We had the pleasure of meeting Michelle Smith, the designer behind the line, Milly, last night. Her exclusive collaboration with Banana Republic will be available in stores across Canada starting today. Milly is known for its fun and feminine style and penchant for print and this collection hits the same fashion note. Some of the highlights from the line include: printed elephant shorts, sorbet-coloured pants, piped shirts and metallic clutches. Bonus: the limited-edition line includes pieces for both women and men, starting at $25.

Smith says this line was inspired by the Hamptons and we think it's perfect for summer.
