Laura Siegel, who presented off-site at The Collections back in the fall, makes her return to David Pecaut Square for the fall/winter 2013 season. Known for her boho chic looks, the upcoming collection does not disappoint in terms of comfort as the soft fabrics definitely do not restrict. Inspired by Asia and South America, the […]
Fashion Week kicked off with MIZ (see post for more details on this collection), followed by Chloe comme Parris’s collection that was inspired by the 1990s (really, is it retro already?). With an abundance of dark colours and teen angst on the models’ faces, these pieces would not be out of place in the wardrobe […]
For the first time in a few seasons, Holt Renfrew did not kick off Fashion Week, perhaps because people prefer to see upcoming pieces rather than what is currently available in the store. Instead, the opening show as MIZ by Izzy Camilleri. Known for a line of clothes aiming at people in wheelchairs (IZ) and […]

The program has spread to other countries in the world, including the UK, the United States and New Zealand. This year, Canada joins […]
Going to the cottage is a way of life for many Canadians once the “May Two Four” weekend rolls around. However, owning and maintaining a cottage is a lot of work, and not something that every family has time for these days. Enter Sandbanks Summer Village, a condo cottage development, on 80 acres of land […]
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.

Leah Antoinette’s clothing line, Moose&Beaver held its first full fashion show at the Burroughes Building earlier this week.
