I feel sorry for Uncle Karl’s resume updater. S/he has a lot of work to do on a daily basis. It must be hard to keep up with the toy replicas, editorial credits, beverage affiliations and multiple fashion weeks. What’s Karl Lagerfeld done now, you ask? Well, he’s going to be honoured with a special [...]
Dear Monsieur Louboutin, I thought we had ended our relationship years ago. I have moved on to Monsieur Perry – and we have been very happy over the years. But I have to say, you had me at Bonjour with these gifts of your affection. And to choose burgundy and grey…you know how to win [...]
Alexis Mabille is a rising star who has shown some lovely pieces over the past few seasons. Through them, he has sown (or in this case, sewn) seeds of ideas within each of his collections that will one day bloom into greatness. Whether it’s with vines of silk flowers wrapping around your calf or a [...]
Tilda Swinton, you are divine. Like a living statue, made of the finest alabaster, you are ethereal. You transform effortlessly into intriguing characters. Our gaze is transfixed upon you. Watch Tilda turn it out for the May 2010 issue of Dazed & Confused mag, snapped by Glen Luchford and styled by Katy England. She wears [...]
I slipped up and fell off the stilts recently – flirting with flats. Call off the medics and stop your goss. I am back on the wagon. Or the ladder, so to speak. These ballet shoes are more my vibe, n’est-ce pas? Who could possibly understand me as well as Mr. McQueen did? He knew [...]
That blush on your face? It will soon be because of Burberry. No, Mr. Bailey hasn’t declared you his new BFF. The Chief Creative Officer extraordinaire of the worldwide whirlwind brand is launching a line of cosmetics. The line – made up of 96 products is said to be inspired by the infamous Burberry trench [...]
It must have been one heck of a lunch. Giles Deacon is in as the new createur at Ungaro – confirmed via Twitter just hours ago by Jason Campbell, editor of the JCReport.com. When the rumour buzzed earlier this week, I compared Deacon’s work with Monsieur Ungaro’s – see why they are kindred spirits. Can’t [...]
This time of year can be taxing. You’ve got to deal with last year’s finances, for one. Plus, it’s that in between weather and if you are in Toronto, it changes hourly. You most certainly want to be in the black when it comes to your taxes but you don’t want to be all-black-clad when [...]
I’ve never been flat-footed, preferring sky-high stilts on most occasions. However, on the recent occasion of Earth Day, I was impressed to come across these little darlings, which have both their heels and the ears of consciousness close to the ground. The bow-tied flats are a collaboration between Spanish sole-sters Pretty Ballerinas (a division of [...]
I see sea-Chanels by the seashore. They are calling me to a bygone era… …a carefree one, by the ocean, where perhaps Gatsby and his darling Daisy once walked… Gatsby would have gasped, seeing Daisy in such a delightful ensemble. Mademoiselle Chanel would also have been pleased with Monsieur Lagerfeld’s Resort 2010 collection. After all, [...]
This Spring has been a flurry of activity…and I missed this when it came out a couple of weeks ago. It’s the second trailer for the film. I don’t care what anyone says, I watched this on HBO when no one else had HBO in Canada and I still love the girls. How can you [...]
Sometimes the world of fashion is so silly, it can seem almost cartoon-like. Well, you and I are not the only ones to think so. Elle Spain’s April issue introduces us to the Disney version of some of our fave couture characters, as illustrated by Ulrich Schröder in La Moda Animada. Did you see Iris [...]
According to trade bible WWD, Asim Abdullah, owner of Ungaro, was lunching in Paris with Brit designer Giles Deacon. To no one’s surprise, the House parted ways with celeb/gal about town/artistic director Lindsay Lohan after a dismal design debut in October. No comments from either Ungaro or Giles – both are yet to confirm what [...]
Writing about joy and sorrow, poet Kahlil Gibran said “the deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.” Life is all about balance. There is no yin without yang. In recent years, minimalism in fashion has been much more widespread and mainstream. The practical economy (read: recession) has had us [...]
“Iiiiii have graccccce?” Elaine’s infamous line on Seinfeld alluded to the fact that being told you have grace is quite possibly one of the nicest compliments that a woman can receive. Well now, my dears we can all have Grace. An exhibition celebrating the style of Grace Kelly opens at the Victoria and Albert Museum [...]
