Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story from our friends at Lucky!

Get ready for the French-iest collaboration there ever was, folks: Parisian up-and-coming designer Calla Hynes is teaming up with Gallic high street company Comptoir des Cotonniers on an accessibly-priced collection hitting stores on May 2. Hynes' love of print-mixing and vibrant color palettes make her seasonal presentation one of our NYFW favorites—and as for CdC, the brand consistently churns out some of the best trench coats and summery dresses on the market. Can you tell we're psyched?

Our friends at Fashionista got an exclusive first look at the Calla Hynes x Comptoir des Cotonniers lookbook—and from the floral denim to the perfect printed shirtdresses, we're kinda obsessed with every single look.

    Calla Spring 2013

    You want prints? Calla has prints galore.
    Calla Spring 2013 | Runway

    You want prints? Calla has prints galore. Designer Calla Haynes presented everything from abstract patterns to watercolors to florals for Spring 2013. Colorful prints injected major sass into bustier dresses, maxis, shirtdresses, motorcycle jackets, high-low dresses, crop tops, trench coats, and more. The only solid pieces were a flirty red skater skirt and the platform pumps the models wore. Sheer black mesh found on a couple pieces was the only hint of a dark color found in this collection so black lovers need not apply.

    I haven't paid much attention to New York's Calla since the band released its smoky and cinematic album Televise in 2003. But I just ran across a new track called "Sanctify from the band's forthcoming album Strength in Numbers, which drops February 20. After a few listens, I'm remembering how much I savor the way frontman Aurelio Valle's masculine, breathy vocals provide a gentle counterpart to Calla's dark shards of guitars and noise.
