Touchy-Feely

Touch of Me Spring Collection

Beano, udder cream, and KY do great things, but they’ve got names that make you head-scratch, Why are they called that?

Another one: Touch of Me, a really cute, Montreal-based clothing line that makes you think of someone all up in your grill, touching you. Weird, right?

But the collection is anything but. Designer Julie Magnan’s soft spring/summer knits have a movable fit that will keep you cool when temps hit 112. Our favorites are a blue hoodie-cum-dress, a drapey white knit sweater, and a gray off-the-shoulder top (a bit reminiscent of the early ’90s).

About the name. Magnan says she wants to create pieces that are personal reflections of their wearers.

How touching.
