They were rappers, they were DJs, they were remixers, and now they have a full album to keep you footloose and fancy free, Holy Ghost! have risen from making drainpipe- sporting hipsters dance in New York to all over the continent and then some Check the myspace for the duos mad remixes of Phoenix, MGMT, Friendly Fires, and their own boomdiggy shit.

What is your dream of happiness? Alex: Big studio,...

Fashion Week: Spring/Summer 2010

Fashion Week: Spring/Summer 2010

I've been dreading writing this roundup all week. Struggling to say something new, something positive. Trying to find a way to tow the line and appear like it's original thought. I look forward to covering Fashion Week each season because I have nothing to lose. In music (where my rent money comes from), no one cares about how you look. So Fashion is fun. It's a whole new world filled with beauty and politics that I get the pleasure of dipping into but never having to play by. Last season, I saw some growth, steps towards becoming a big boy Fashion...

If you're taking a stroll down Queen Street, chances are you'll spot the store Peach Berserk.  At 507 Queen Street West, the store is located in the heart of the Fashion District.  Run by the divine Kingi Carpenter, Peach Berserk operates as headquarters for young Warholians and eccentric Fashionistas alike.  I recently got the delightful chance to interview Kingi about Canadian Designers, Music, and of course, Toronto Fashion Week. How did you come up with the name Peach Berserk? It's from a nail polish color that's in a book that's my Bible, Sex and The Single...


She’s so dandy!

She’s so dandy!

Its hard to believe that Dandi Maestre once described herself as a minimalist. Much like a dandelion, this Colombian born jewelry designer is as spunky and bold as they come with a side of the good old je ne sais quoi. This designer is best known for her show stopping pieces which are composed of natural materials such as deer antlers (don't worry folks, the antler is shed after each mating season), raw hide and bone - to name a few. Her pieces take a new spin on jewelry design and she succeeds in pushing the limits and thinking outside...


Fashion Week Roundup: Judgement Day

Fashion Week Roundup: Judgement Day

After a week of Fashion-focused blogging, here's a round up of everything the Pink Mafia did and all the judgement that comes with it. MONDAY MAR.16.2009 Let's start at the beginning: the Holt's party. What's new?: they moved it to the cheap floor, which let's face it, is the only floor anyone really shops on. Peroni and Evian were flowing (Peroni sponsor everything lately if you're wondering). The top Seven Designers to watch was trimmed down to 5, and Robin Kay made a flat and extremely sober speech that left us yawning for more.

Design goddess: Kimberly Newport-Mimran

Design goddess: Kimberly Newport-Mimran

When I was told I would be interviewing Kimberly Newport-Mimran, the co-founder, President and Head designer of the celebrated label Pink Tartan, I was hit with an overpowering sense of excitement with a healthy dose of the jitters. After interning in the fashion department at FASHION Magazine, I quickly learned that words such as elegant, sophisticated and polished were synonymous with this sensational homegrown line. Unbeknownst to many, she is also the designer behind the chic 60s inspired Porter airline uniforms, pillbox hat and all! Her recognition south of...

The design duo: Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong of Greta Constantine

Since I was interviewing them the day of their show, finding time to meet with the masterminds behind the sought-after label Greta Constantine proved to be quite a tricky feat. At first I was to meet with them at The Courthouse where the show was to be held, t-minus three hours before the models took to the runway. But then last minute I was directed to a tiny two-story salon on Scollard. Thank god for staying on my toes.

I walked into a salon with no sign and was immediately hit with...


Melinda Mae Harlingten Spring ‘09

Melinda Mae Harlingten Spring ‘09

Written By: Kim Cuachon

Native princess meets harlequin romance, envelopped with the attitude needed for the now. That was the tone of MMH. Melinda-Mae Harlingten has certainly surpassed, pretty in pink de rigueur for Spring ’09.

Tailored shorts and jackets, with muted earth tones, echoed a strong feminine aura on the stage as if warriors were being sent out first, just as in tribal tradition. Side braids with...
