Toronto’s Fashion Month, which started last week with the launch of Moose&Beaver, continued this week with the shOws, featuring Canadian designers who show out of the country. This two day event, which is one of my favourites, featured not the usual four, but five shows, including Tanya Taylor, Jean-Pierre Braganza and this time, Comrags as […]
Gotstyle, Toronto’s favourite menswear shop and styling service has launched a women’s department in their 6,700 square foot Distillery District location. Like menswear, women will have the chance to not only shop contemporary Canadian and international designers, but also like the guys, receive style services including how to shop as well as style and trend […]
As most Torontonians know, Yorkdale is the go-to mall for first-in-Canada launches these days. Brands that have made their Canadian debut at the mall include J.Crew, Top Shop, LOFT and now, Mulberry, Zara HOME (the first North American store) and White House | Black Market, all which will open later this year. While I love […]
Leah Antoinette’s clothing line, Moose&Beaver held its first full fashion show at the Burroughes Building earlier this week. The brand’s philosophy of clothing that “loves you back” was definitely seen in the Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Targeting young women in their 20s and early 30s, the pieces are made with materials such as merino, distressed leather […]
ADDITION ELLE held a grand opening party for its new location on Yonge and Queen yesterday evening with a cocktails/meet-and-greet/shopping event. This plus-size exclusive store, which has several locations across Canada, sells stylish, affordable clothes for work and weekend as well as lingerie and accessories, most for under $100 carrying well-known brands such as Levis, […]
H&M, hardly the first non-high end brand to present at any Fashion Week, made its Parisian debut recently with the Fall 2013 collection at the historical Musée Rodin. Celebrities including Emma Roberts and Ashley Olsen, joined stylists, editors and musicians as models weaved in and out of the museum’s rooms in what looked like a […]
Nestled at street level of a Midtown Toronto condo just west of Yonge is Minling Pan Studio (aka Shining Image), an image consulting business and clothing boutique selling unique items not found elsewhere in the city. Born and raised in southern China, Ms. Pan came to Canada to study Fashion Management and Image Consulting at […]
The new Mad Men collection at Banana Republic has hit stores and online. As noted in an earlier post, this year’s collection is inspired by the mod looks of the later 1960s, looks that are far more casual. I went into the store on launch day as the dress I wanted to try (Peggy knit […]
As always, the red carpet seems to skew female more than men. While yes, guys are sometimes asked who they’re wearing, very rarely do publications talk about it over the next few days. So here we are at Thursday, and there have been very few pieces written about the guys. Sure, men’s fashion doesn’t change […]
Hosted by LOFT Girls/Hip Urban Girl and store staff, a brunch shopping party was held at LOFT Yorkdale on February 24. The event was not that atypical of similar shopping parties, save for brunch food (granola, fruit and yogurt in shot glasses, banana and Nutella sandwiches, etc…) and the lack of a make-up or manicure […]
