…and apparently in the perfect location! According to Retail Insider, the shoe line known for its red soles is going to be moving into the former home of Maison de la Presse later this year. The gorgeous Victorian architecture makes it ideal for the brand – it DOES have that “glam” effect, after all! Christian […]
Barbie finally comes in different body types! Including petite! I know media are going to focus on “curvy” Barbie, because that’s what media (and body image activists) do, but it’s important to highlight other non-“standard” (whatever that means) sizing as well. I’m a short girl and as short girls know, we have our own “issues” […]
With the acquisition, Gilt will be opening brick and mortar departments at at Off 5th (Saks Fifth Avenue’s “outlet” locations) stores and thus, loses its identity. Why? Because Gilt’s philosophy is centred around e-commerce, offering designer fashion, accessories and more at up to 70% of retail price for a limited of time (i.e. items will […]
Earlier this week, I had the chance to go to an event at the J.Crew store in Toronto’s Yorkville area. The RSVP-only event was billed as an evening with J.Crew head Jenna Lyons, but also in attendance was women’s wear designer, Somsack Sikhounmuong, who I learned last night is from Oshawa. The event was very […]
Back in September, I had the chance to attend the launch of one of Canada’s newest clothing lines, TMR Collection. Designed by Tara Rivas, the line is versatile and has something for virtually every woman – especially an urban professional who does not have a large closet space. Due to the neutral colours, the pieces […]
Hyba is a new brand of active wear by Reitmans that has recently launched across Canada. Unlike many other national brands, Hyba, which has taken over some Smartset stores (also owned by Reitmans), carries a very wide range of sizes, from XS to 3X and inseam lengths varying from 28″ to 34″. While smaller sizes […]
Yes, back again with my wrap of World MasterCard Fashion Week. And due to a crazy schedule, I did not attend many shows this season either (or, at least, not as many as I could have). Yays: Star Wars: Loved the R2D2 shoes on display. The Force is definitely with us. Press and Buyers’ […]
So the collection only featured two gold pieces, but Rachel Sin’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection once again features simple, yet elegant classics. With basic black, grey and white shades as well as yellow, orange and coral, the collection is perfect for many occasions, including date night, brunch with “the girls” and even the office (provided that […]
Inspired by the Catalan region of Spain, the Pink Tartan’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection is filled with bright, casual pieces that give off the vibe of a fun vacation abroad. There’s something old fashioned – perhaps taking people back to a time when air travel was a luxury – yet modern at the same time. Though […]
The first day of World MasterCard Fashion Week included designers such as Matthew Gallagher and Sid Neigum. However, I would have to say that the most interesting collection came from Mikhael Kale. For Spring/Summer 2016, his pieces had, as a press release put it, “a delicate, yet highly ornate” look with an “elegant seasonal transition […]
