It was bound to happen. With all the fashion films this season, SOMEbody in the fashion biz had to get nominated for an Oscar. While the official noms won’t be out until February, Santa isn’t the only one making a list and checking it twice these days. Valentino: The Last Emperor, the wonderful film directed [...]
One of the designers of the moment, Alexander Wang, has designed a capsule collection for online retailer, Net-a-Porter. The pieces pay homage to the ’80s, biker chic and some may even be a little bit goth. No need to line up – just get online. Do it quick, because some of the best pieces are [...]
The Victoria & Albert Museum is hosting their next Fashion in Motion event on December 11th. The star of the show? None other than Montreal’s very own, Erdem Moralioglu. “I am thrilled and honoured to be showing at the V & A. Since my student days is has been one of my favourite museums and I [...]
It’s Friday at last! TGIF. Thank God, It’s Fashion Night! Us fashion girls are late this season, but like B says, it’s never too late to talk fashion! Could it possibly top the last? Not sure what I’m talking about? Take the FN101 course first. Lots on my agenda: My re-obsession with gothentic things. Not [...]
Everyone knows I have a bit of a magazine habit. Call it a weakness for words and pretty pictures. I love collecting special issues and drop in regularly to see my friends at Maison de la Presse. Imagine my delight upon seeing this on a recent visit: the Chinese edition of Esquire magazine. Ooh, a [...]
That Michelle Obama is one smart cookie. Well, one smart biskut actually (that’s biscuit pronounced the desi way). We know the woman is brilliant for a multitude of reasons – in all matters from politics to fashion. Perfection arrives, however, when she combines the two seamlessly (pun intended). She did so, quite astutely this week, [...]
I’m stranded on a desert island, filled with pretty things to wear, all in my favourite colour. I first saw a glimpse of it at Lanvin… It was a Spring teaser. Then came the Louboutins. But now that Jenny from the (Upper East) block has literally fallen on her Louboutin assets while singing about them, [...]
Speaking of sales and spring cleaning, someone else is cleaning house. That someone is retail mogul, François-Henri Pinault and the sale is at PPR. And not in the way that you think. The empire that consists of Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Stella McCartney, Balenciaga and more, is selling off a few pieces. Stop desperately trying to [...]
Okay, you know how I said that some of the items in the Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge auction catalogue were appraised at affordable? I meant affordable in a millionaire-ish sort of way. The auction last week raised 8.9 million euros – that’s a lot more in Canadian dollars, by the way, and three [...]
We first told you about the Comme des Garcons and Beatles collaboration in September. The launch party for the line was held last week in Tokyo at Trading Museum, a new concept store by the masterminds at CDG, chiefly, Rei Kawakubo. The designer was hanging with the likes of one Yoko Ono – both dressed [...]
Dear Santa: I know that I don’t officially celebrate Christmas. So technically, I’ve never asked you for anything. Getting to the point…I have only one thing on my list this year… The Karl tokidoki doll. Could you please pick one up on your way through Paris? It’s available at Colette. Thank you! Love and chocolate [...]
While many modern women can be said to wear the pants in the family these days, there seems to be another issue we’ve been skirting around. Men – in skirts. Scotsmen have always donned their traditional kilts but skirts for men are becoming more visible…again. It was very punk rock in the ’80s to have [...]
Why not, indeed? Why not put the most handsome man in India on the cover of the desi version of GQ? If Arjun Rampal looks natural in front of the camera, it’s because he modelled before hitting the bari screen of Bollywood. He was discovered in a discotheque (nightclub on this side of the world) [...]
If two heads are better than one, then two redheads are glorious. Especially when you mulitply the fashion rockstar status by two and add the Brit factor. I loved this photo of Vogue CD Grace Coddington and model, Karen Elson taken at the the CFDA awards the other night. It’s not a spectacular photograph – [...]
Style never goes out of style. Not even when it’s left this world. Yves Saint Laurent was a man of style, sophistication and exquisite taste. And while he may have left us, he has left material reflections of that taste and style behind… The second auction of his and Pierre Berge’s objets d’art, furnishings and other visual [...]
