If you are having a Jerry Hall moment, you are not the only [...]

Déjà Vu: Like Mother, Like Daughter

Hedi Slimane photographed Georgia May Jagger for the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar US recently and I couldn’t help but think how much those photos reminded me of Jerry Hall – Georgia’s model mama. Mama Hall seems to have passed along a few trade secrets to her baby girl. See more Georgia: Rimmel London’s Honky [...]

London Stories: Visiting Mr. Yamamoto

It had been a very British week to begin with. With Toronto being inundated by a Brit Invasion (of the fashion variety), I found my thoughts wavering across the pond day after day. I couldn’t help it. I flew to London. [Okay, so there was another reason - but you'll have to wait for that [...]

Vanessa Paradis graces Interview Mag’s November 2010 pages.

Déjà Vu: Sing Blue Silver

I came across the best photo of Renée Zellweger I have ever seen… …and it reminded me of Duran Duran’s video for The Chauffeur… …which of course, was inspired by the photographs of Helmut Newton. Sometimes inspiration comes full circle. Zellweger photo courtesy of MagXone, Chauffeur image courtesy of sssour, Newton image courtesy of Obvious [...]

Forditude

Leave it to our friend Ah-na to snag the first shots of Mr. Ford’s return to womenswear, and as such, the return to the warm and cozy place in our hearts reserved only for him. Or course, the buzz about his SS11 collection has been all a-Twitter since late August: will he be designing, he [...]

Rolling Through Rajkot

The Star of India. That’s how they Rolled in Rajkot. The Royce was the choice for a regal’s roadster. Western luxury was no match for the cash and cachet of the courtly cluster. If it wasn’t a bespoke RR, it wasn’t up to Maharaja muster. ‘Tis true, my dears. Those maharajas loved their motor vehicles, [...]

The Modfather’s Mini

Well, it’s not actually his. Paul Weller, an avid Mini fan and collector, has teamed up with the brand to design the exterior of a one-of-a-kind set of wheels to be auctioned off for charity. The car shows off its mod stripes – literally – in a flurry of pink and brown. Weller says he [...]

Met to Honour McQueeen

It was only a matter of moments. Someone had to do it. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York will be hosting an exhibition at the Costume Institute next Spring, honouring Lee Alexander McQueen’s work in a show entitled, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty. Andrew Bolton, whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, will be [...]

Is Green the New Brown?

Two days after Diwali and after the New Moon, marks another annual Indian festival known as Bhaiya Dooj. Bhai means brother in Hindi (bhaiya is just a more respectful way to refer to a bhai). It’s basically a tradition that honours the bond between brothers and sisters – when sisters put a tilak or tikka [...]

Share the brilliance all year. Wishing you love, light and luminosity this Diwali and for the coming year. All images courtesy of [...]

Make Room for More Brits

Toronto was invaded by the Brits. Again. The view from these eyes has always been a little bit British – having grown up with musical influences from across the pond and with crushes on Bri’ish boys. However, I do believe there has been an inherent love of Ing-lund here in the Homeland, whether it is the [...]
