Bloor Street was taken over by the bloggerati Friday night, with the launch of Holt Renfrew’s windows paying homage to fashion’s online adventurers. Six fashion bloggers were invited by Holt’s CD (and ex Venue mag Fashion Ed) John Gerhardt to be part of the celebration, but word on the virtual street is that they weren’t asked to [...]
As promised, here is the rest of the gallery comparing Burberry’s Menswear for Spring 2010 with some ‘old new wave’ icons.
Christopher Bailey has always been a muso. In past interviews and collections, music is often a key inspiration. No wonder then, that Bailey’s Spring 2010 menswear collection had a certain ‘old new wave’ vibe. I took a walk down memory lane with each runway look from Bailey. Roddy Frame, is that you? Wavy hair and [...]
The Glastonbury fest is rocking the other side of the Atlantic right now. Brit retailer, Topshop [Sigh. Still waiting for the Toronto Topsop, Bonnie Brooks.] just finished their pieces for the singer of Florence and the Machine. And, much to my chagrin, Wellies are all over the fashion news again. B & E are giggling [...]
Get the popcorn champers and caviar, dahling. The first glimpse of The September Issue, the already infamous doc about the only Editor-in-Chief that matters – Anna Wintour of a little glossy called Vogue, is due to hit the theatres soon. Love the one-liners so far. I will have to take notes during the full movie.
Heading home after work on a Friday night, I was ready for the subway gaze. You know it – where you stare off into the nothingness of the blurred landscape of fellow passengers in your train. Imagine my surprise, when this young lady entered the car. I didn’t want to stare, but her look was [...]
Mr. McQueen’s menswear for Spring 2010 is all about well thought-out chalk-strokes, rough edges and tatters, making for a surprisingly polished, finished and well, manly collection for the girls lucky enough to be in the presence of a McQueen man. Here are a few snapshots of my favourite looks. The full lookbook is on [...]
Watch the trailer for Chanel Avant Coco, one of three current films about the infamous fashion icon. Can’t wait for the film to debut here.
There are precisely three movies about the illustrious Mademoiselle Chanel currently hitting small and big screens the world over. The first stars Shirley MacLaine in the role that earned her a Golden Globe nod in Coco Chanel – which aired locally on Viva in March. I have an email in to Viva to ask about [...]
It’s always nice to be back in Mentreal. Ahem, Montreal. Style prevails no matter where you go. Boho chic on St. Denis to designer diva on Laurier to goth goddess on St. Laurent. There are a few must-stops for fashionplates, when in la belle provence. The aforementioned Boulevard St. Laurent is home to a few [...]
Fashion Designer to Michelle O and beyond, Jason Wu, like the rest of us, likes to chill on Sundays. Unlike the rest of us, he watches Madge’s paparazzi, buys fashion books at The Strand and has brunch at Pastis. Read more about Jason’s Sunday adventures in the New York Times.
B and I have often tried to predict who the next H&M celeb designer will be. We haven’t gotten it right, yet. We heard about the first collab with Karl – and weren’t quite sure how we felt about the high/low dance then, so we waited it out. I remember being at Vaughan Mills (yup, [...]
I know it’s summer. I know that boots are supposed to be in boxes in the backs of our collective closets. But these are sandals. They just happen to go all the way up to your knee. I, for one, am happy that the gladiator “trend” isn’t over. I’ve been wearing them for the last [...]
I was seeing red at Sol(e)d the other night. Hannah, a fellow blogger, was rocking red tights with her ’50s meets ’60s meets ’20s vibe. Red tights + ’20s + ’60s skirt lengths = very Chanel Resort 2010. She walked off with one of the best looks of the night. Photo of Hannah by Jyotika [...]
Vintage stores and dealers in Toronto are out of merch today. Why? It was all at the Sol(e)d party, held by Worn Fashion Journal last night. This was no ordinary crowd at the Bata Shoe Museum – these sisters were self-styled. The ’80s were well represented…the slouch, cuffed boot with a striped shirtdress – very Molly Ringwald, minus [...]
