Big Ben might very well be a London landmark, but another large B is changing the times we live in. When Big Ben rings 4 pm in Londontown on Monday, Burberry, the venerable Brit brand that literally started in the trenches of war, will take over another famous landmark. Piccadilly Circus will become a fashion [...]
This is why red lips matter, ladies and gentleman. They take day into night, as seen on the fab Erin O’Connor at the Vogue.com 15th birthday bash in London moments ago. Also, I’m going to need that t-shirt. Just bought a slinky tuxedo suit with a skinny lapel for Spring, and the T would be perrrfect underneath it. [...]
Prabal Gurung’s FW11 collection tells a beautiful story. Sometimes, the sentences within that story, are made just so much more eloquent with the right punctuation. I want them. Full stop. Images: Vogue.com.
Two of my favourite fashion editors had a recent chat about London Fashion Week, McQueen and the coveted style of Covent Garden. CG is one of my fave places on Earth, discovered on my first visit to the city many years ago. I never miss it on a return trip to Londontown. Here’s Ah-na, interviewed [...]
There’s something about London style that is just so easy peasy. Sure, you still get the spiffed souls on a red carpet or royal occasion, but for the most part, it’s a city that doesn’t take itself so seriously when it comes to getting dressed. Style is just an inherent part of the city’s fabric [...]
There was a selection of spiffy souls at the Brit film and TV industry’s annual awards night, earlier tonight. Held at the fitting Royal Opera House in Covent Garden (one of my fave haunts in Londontown) on a rainy and cold February night, these poised performers were none the worse for wear.

It’s not often that you can get a one-of-a-kind couture fur creation for less than the price of a fast-fashion t-shirt. Fashion design students Michons, Charlie and Dane created seven pieces by re-fashioning and re-purposing forgotten fur garments, as part of the FuRRR Real design challenge for Social Media Week. Given that it’s 11:59 pm [...]
For weeks now, I’ve been talking about working with Ryerson University students for Social Media Week Toronto. SMWTO has been a wonderful, brilliant collective energy of 50 events throughout the city (and globally, with over 600 events in nine cities) about the impacts of digital and social media on business, marketing, society and culture, that [...]
See and hear from Dane, the third designer from the FuRRR Real challenge at Ryerson University, taking place as part of Social Media Week Toronto. Photos of the final pieces up for auction, starting today, will be up in a few minutes!
The wounds have not healed. The void, still gapes. The memory, still sombre. Lee Alexander McQueen, we have not forgotten you. I have not forgotten you. We may not have been personal friends, but what you brought into my visual and emotional consciousness was very personal, indeed. Your art was not on canvas – but [...]
Michons, one of the designers from the FuRRR Real challenge at Ryerson University, taking place as part of Social Media Week Toronto shares her thoughts on working with fur and on collaborating with others. You’ll be able to bid on these six, one-of-a-kind couture creations tomorrow! Details to follow.

Was I dreaming or was there a twinkle of tangerine frou, floating for pre-fall? These dashes of colour at Ungaro PF11 were just enough to put a smile on my face on a wintery day. Aren’t they so eloquently balanced between Monsieur Ungaro’s sensuality and Giles Deacon’s edge? He really was the right choice for [...]

How could I kick off a week where I am co-curating 50 events without a new pair of boots? And given my work with Ryerson, how could they not have a little bit of furrr (in this case, the faux kind)? While it is always a high (I had to!) to buy a new pair [...]
