Canadian designer Monica Mei opened her AIME boutique and showroom for the first time last night. Part of Toronto’s first Fashion’s Night Out (FNO), people not only got to see the latest AIME collection, but also nibble on appetizers from Elizabeth Hill Catering and listen to music spun by Tunesy. The interior of Monica’s […]
Fashion’s Night out is later this week and stores across the city are participating. While it seems that participating locations are quite spread out (largely concentrated in the Bloor-Yorkville area and Yorkdale Shopping Centre. The Toronto Eaton Centre is also involved, but it seems like it’s in a much smaller scale than Yorkdale. Except for […]
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 […]
Premium Outlets’ Woodbury Common is one of my favourite outlet malls to visit when I’m in the New York area. With stores like Prada, YSL and Ferragamo as well as factory stores for Banana Republic, J.Crew and Coach, what more could a girl ask for? Soon, we Canucks won’t have to go across the border […]
A while back, we posted a piece about Yorkdale’s renovations and asked what stores you’d like see open there (followed up last week by a piece updating on speculated stores). So now we turn to another major shopping district in Toronto, the Bloor-Yorkville area. This area has one of the highest rents for a shopping […]

Held in the Women’s Contemporary section on the third floor of the flagship store, a photo booth was set up so that […]
As per tradition, the first show at LG Fashion Week tonight was Holt Renfrew’s show highlighting several Canadian designers (but of course, this wouldn’t be done before a greeting from FDCC Chair, Robin Kay and the lead sponsor). This season’s show features the works of Lida Baday, Denis Gagnon, Smythe, Jeremy Laing, Naked & Famous […]
LG Fashion Week begins tonight! Shows tonight include Holt Renfrew’s “There’s No Place Like Holt’s: Celebrating Canadian Fashion” and Arthur Mendonça. The rest of the week’s calendar can be found on LG Fashion Week’s official website. The week, of course, won’t be complete with Toronto favourites such as Joe Fresh, VAWK and Pink Tartan. Montreal-based […]
The ladies of The Coveteur, Erin Kleinberg and Stephanie Mark, along with photographer Jake Rosenberg, made an appearance at the shoe salon at Holt Renfrew Bloor Street on August 27. Hosted by VP of Fashion Direction of the store, Barbara Atkin, it was, according to them, The Coveteur’s first store appearance, after having been online […]
Montreal is absolutely AMAZING. My recent trip was only my third time in the city and my second as an adult (I was only eight or nine when I went there for the first time. Really too young to do anything). Of course, shopping was a MUST. While I prefer to look for things that […]
