Pre-fashion week wrapped up Thursday after a whirlwind of shows on the same day, requiring a lot of back and forth between the Burroughes Building (The Collections) and Andrew Richard Designs (The shOws) or logistic scheduling for those who wanted to cover both. The Collections, which presented its inaugural season, featured designers that usually show […]
Many people with smaller/lower nose bridges complain about the lack of sunglasses that properly fit them without frames touching one’s cheekbones, slipping off or leaving marks one’s face.

We sat down with Isobel Walker of frAsh and got some insight into her growing line. When were you first […]
I have to admit that my closet is a mix of both bigger name brands and independents/up-and-coming lines. I’d prefer if I’d had more of the latter, but access is often an issue. Even the up-and-coming lines that make it to FAT or Toronto Fashion Week are already at least somewhat known, especially to those […]
These days, when people are looking for ideas to redecorate, or just for some inspiration, they go online, perhaps to a site like Pinterest. But going online is not the same as getting ideas live.
