This Project Runway Canada alum’s more “casual” line is always a show that I look forward to in Toronto. Not only are prices more affordable than his “main” line, but the pieces definitely have more use…for the every day woman, anyway. As usual, the collection is filled with looks that are appropriate for many occasions, […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Is it just me, or are many “fashion” blogs turning into “shopping” blogs? I’m not talking about sites that primarily discuss new finds, but general style blogs.
