They are fashionable people, doing fashionable things. There is a serious shift happening in Toronto's fashion landscape where tiny boutiques & studios are popping up all across town. With excellently curated lines, adorable shops & a fun online presence, it's heating up over who has the hottest wares. ReiaStudio is a new love of mine. Although their collection selection is relatively small, it's so well curated that you want to buy the entire line. Carrying labels like Tilo Scarves (you might recognize from Mila Kunis in Black Swan), Rita D., Dennis Merotto (Lida Baday's previous senior designer and...

Do you know what chiptune is? Anamanaguchi’s music comes from the same vein as the structured videogame tones from a hacked 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) that create those familiar arcade beeps and bloops that were constantly in the background for most of our childhoods only with more of a punk rock edge. I spoke with drummer Luke Silas. from the band on the telephone all the way from Miami, Florida.  Anamanaguchi are making their way to Toronto on January 21, 2012 with Extreme Animals and Moon King at Wrongbar (http://embracepresents.com/event/anamanaguchi/).  While he took in the warmth...

"Swing, Sing and Shine" is the name of the game for Swarovski Spring/Summer 2012; with the flashing lights of the paparazzi and click of the camera as the inspiration for the season... can you say ACTION.  The collection tells a story of a versatile young lady who is growing from an ambitious student into a glamourous leading lady ready for the spotlight; the tale comes to life with modern and vintage styling, in soft pastels colours, spherical and floral references, which is a nod to the golden era of the ‘60s. The modern touches are seen in...

When you look outside there is no denying it we are about to stare Jack Frost dead in the face, but when it comes to land of fashion (which I live in) its hot as hell with Spring & Summer trends. For Spring/Summer 2012 H&M took all the essentials one needs for the season and gave them a fluid but tailored silhouette, the pieces have the look and feel of modern styling, with soft touches. For the season H&M decided to stay on the lighter end of the spectrum with a whites, neutrals taking centre stage, with some...

That's it party peeeople... it's officially the last day of LG Fashion Week/Toronto Fashion Week.

The last day of LGFW was jammed packed so I decided to man up and  hit the tents for the whole day. Adrian Wu Perfect way to start the last day of LGFW was with a splendid presentation from Adrian Wu, we packed the bright airy studio the...

I was hoping to get to the tents early today but the unfashionable Gods we against me, I happened to make it on time for Caroline Néron and VAWK by Sunny Fong. Caroline Néron Can we say bling, bling... who knew mother nature had so much shine as Caroline Néron highlighted the bounties our world by presenting a...

Hey—hey, pssst, hey guys! Did you all hear? Appparently, apparently there's this awful family who's prone to nausea-inducing alliteration. I don't know, I haven't heard of them. But apparently, apparently they have a litter of daughters, or something? And I guess, maybe one of them got married? I don't know, I haven't heard much about it. Do you guys know who this bitch is? Apparently I've been living under a rock. Naturally, I couldn't've enjoyed my early retirement from celebrity-hunting and sartorial-sighting for long enough before this monumental monstrosity (several MILLION DOLLAR monumental monstrosity, nontheless) happened—without at least significantly...

We stem from a era in which fashion blogs provide fashionista’s and enthusiasts with an alternate reality to the once closed circuit industry, that many hope to get a taste of. Street Style Fashion has become a thriving element within the blogosphere, and has reached phenomenal heights. Initially street style blogging was used as a medium for documentation of real people and everyday style. Now it has evolved into a means of enabling style from a international stand point. In a matter of seconds we are able to browse and gawk at fashion from its grassroots, the consumer. In many...
