Past-Modern Punk
This image had me in a time warp. It’s very Spadina/Queen circa 1981 meets Bloor Street 2011. Image: @TheLoveMagazine.

Soul Food
It’s been a while since I’ve gasped out loud at an editorial shoot. Didn’t need to look at the credits to know this was shot by Sølve Sundsbø. It’s called The Everlasting Soul, part of Vogue China’s SS11 Collections issue. The model is Edita Vikeviciute and the stylist is Nicoletta Santoro. [Click on the images [...]
Godfathers of Glam
The New York Times’ T magazine did a great feature on the Godfathers of Glam, wearing skinny suits. The shoot includes photos of some of my favourite music and style icons, including Misters Ferry, Davies and Gahan, as well as Nick Cave, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed among a few others. Here’s a sneak peek [...]
Anamika Khanna’s ReGals
How fitting that Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2011 kicked off in Mumbai with my soul sister (and given our mutual collection and affection for shoes, likely my sole sister as well). Anamika Khanna showed her “Indian Androgyny” S/R 2011 collection offsite at a racetrack a few days ago. For me, the collection told a few [...]
Mumbai’s Tokyoeye
Eight Japanese designers took part in the first day of shows at Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai – on a day where their homeland was shaken to its very core by a devastating earthquake and tsunami. The designers – part of a roster of 78 in total at one of India’s primary fashion weeks (Wills [...]
God Save the Queen
God save Auntie Viv, the reigning monarch of British fashion. If pomp and circumstance made you Queen for a day, wouldn’t you want to wear this? Eccentric or electric? Image: Vogue.com.
Make No Bones About It
For the past few years, I’ve taken up a cuff collection. I love the arm candy in summer months, especially. Cuffs provide a rock-starrish dash to the softer drama of a flowing linen shirt or a breezy dress and flats. This one, designed by FIT grad Ayaka Nishi, literally sent shivers up my spine. It’s [...]
Escalation Point
There comes a point where a girl has to take things to new heights, but be sensible about it. Done and done. I fell for these Fall/Winter 2011 heels from YSL – and they lifted my spirits. Source image: Vogue.com – modified by moi.
The Power of You
We, women. Warriors. Vixens. Beauties. Seekers of Truth. Equals. Believers. Dreamers. Creators. Happy International Women’s Day. The power is within. The power is yours. The world is yours. Are you dressed for it? Who are some of the women that you admire? Leave a comment and let me know. Image sources (in order): Sade [...]
Hope
The tide has turned. The wind rests. And I think of the breeze of Spring, blowing in with a whisper. Is that sunshine or is it my memory? In either case, I feel its warmth on my face. Photo: Woman standing on a houseboat, India by Deborah Jaffe.
March Forward

Vroom Vroom June
If June Cleaver were a motorcycle mama… …this is what she would put on. While our June may never be caught with that messy do, the silhouette is perfect for her. Ward, you’ve been warned. Images: Vogue.com.
Layers of Thought
…or cascades of creativity. Take your pick. I am in awe of Ms. Demeulemeester. She is the mistress of disguise. Divine disguise. Images: Vogue.com.
Oh My Goth
Gareth, I praise thee. You amaze me. Each season. More Gareth: Gareth Goes from Goth to God Gareth Doth Scareth for Spring Déjà Vu: Put a Feather in Your Cap… …or perhaps you need a little more goth? Images: WWD.
Fashion Dilemma: Looking Notoriously Good
I haven’t been asked to solve a fashion dilemma for a while…so here goes. If you were to become a web-ebrity overnight, say for a tweet…and you needed an outfit for the cover of your soon-to-be-published book, here’s the outfit I would style you in… Start with Todd Lynn trousers from SS10… Add a dash [...]
