MENSWEAR DAY

2010-09-24T04:59:00.000-07:00

Wednesday was the official day during LFW devoted to Menswear. It was a breath of fresh air after seeing bright and flouncy skirts all week.

CHRISTOPHER SHANNON started the morning off with a punch of dancehall beats and crisp sportswear. Layering white on white with hints of pastel. Shannon worked deconstructed layered pieces and used heavy accessories and face paint to complete the look. I loved the cropped layered tanks and the collaboration he did with EastPak ( very my little pony, sorry dudes!)

J.W ANDERSON followed Shannon's presentation sending London's psychedelic raved-out youth down the runway. Creating a tight silhouette with pieces ranging from patch work to extreme dip dye. Doilies are crocheted and applied to tulle tops dyed in neon colours creating a kaleidoscope grunge dream.

JAMES LONG kept the washed-out hippie theme going through the afternoon. A collection full of Pollack-esque, paint-splattered silk and chiffon and knitted patchwork a la Missoni but with a trippy twist. Long's inspiration of classic filmic pilgrimages like My Own Private Idaho was most evident through his addition of Tobacco-coloured leather pieces toward the end of the collection. If Long's man was hitchhiking in the desert heat, I'd definitely give him a lift.

LFW was a blast. Thanks again to VOLT MAGAZINE!!

MARK FAST- FRINGE MASTER!

2010-09-21T09:56:00.000-07:00

Mark Fast gets his own post for a few reasons..1. he is Canadian 2. the show was an explosion of sexiness 3. I understand what all the hype is about when you get to see one of his shows in the flesh.
Maybe I'm just you know on a LFW high or it's the ridiculous amount of Canadian press that I read about Fast but I really enjoyed the knitwear designers collection for Spring Summer 2011. Of course, in true Fast fashion, someone with a banging body on a wild night out in Vegas aka Nomi Malone styles can rock the fringe looks he went down the runway.

DAVID KOMA X HOLLY FULTON

2010-09-21T08:32:00.000-07:00

Good Afternoon Lovelies,

These two designers did not do a collaboration but they did show back to back yesterday morning. What a way to wake up! Who needs crappy filtered coffee from the press lounge when you can watch this!

David Koma being relatively new to the scene only graduating from Saint Martins last years put on a beautiful show with a alluring mix of inspirations. Taking from the Russian ballet 'Swan Lake' as shown in the tutu stiff layers over the pencil shape dresses. His use of python skin is deconstructed and positioned in vertical and linear positions which is inspired by the Cubist artist Fernand Legar.

Holly Fulton took us on a wild trip to Monaco, Egypt, Brazil and Hollywood, Joan Collins style!! Large graphic prints reminiscent of Aztec to 1920 art deco design. I absolutely loved the use of accessories in the collection. Holly's clutch bags with 'HOLLY SAYS RELAX' (also the tag line on the invite) was so cheeky. I just wish I could get one made with my own name on it!

Stop the Fashion Madness!!

2010-09-20T13:48:00.000-07:00

Happy LONDON FASHION WEEK day.... whaaaa?? Just kidding we are on day four! OK, so let's get down to business. Yesterday, I attended the sexy debut show of designer Masha Ma. The collection focused on dimension in all different areas of body. Sculpted skirts, and structured jackets. The inspiration for the collection was the architectural buildings of Manhattan, a touch of industrial with a nod to the future. enjoy!

TOPSHOP UNIQUE SS'2011

2010-09-19T09:59:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of attending the magical and cosmic spectacle that is the Topshop Unique show yesterday afternoon. The show took place in the old Eurostar terminal in Waterloo station. The collection was filled with top names on the runway as well as in the front row! The collection was pretty WILD...lots of glam rocky wide leg trousers, Stevie Nicks-eque flowy dresses and cotton candy coloured hair so teased it would take 4 weeks to recondition it back to health! I mock the hair but I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MY HAIR LIKE THAT FOR AT LEAST ONE NIGHT! The collection was inspired by the mysticism, fantasy and the cosmic...basically the 3 way love child of Mark Bolan, Betty Davis and Carl Sagan!

London Fashion Week: Day 1

2010-09-18T02:42:00.000-07:00

I am proud to say that this week I am covering some shows for London based magazine VOLT!
VOLT is a beautiful bi-annual magazine now coming into its 8Th issue. Hitting the stands this Monday- keep your eyes peeled for it. It's huge and printed on organic paper with no binding so you can separate the sheets easily and hang/frame/collage with etc.

Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of attending two shows back to back: Felder Felder and Hannah Marshall. Front row attendees included Amber Rose sans Kayne, Paloma Faith, major points for the gypsy in her rocking a 1930s head piece with a subtle (cough) sequin full length coat. You gotta march to your down drum, right?

Felder Felder is comprised of twins Annette and Dani. The inspiration for the collection was a a rebellious downtown girl fascinated by the free spirit era of Easy Rider, The Trip and Jim Morrison. The soundtrack to the show was 'born to be wild.'
The collection was filled with bursts of psychedelic colour, cute girl flouncy skirts and some sexy sequin type dresses. Leather bras and laser cut details completed the looks. A few of the prints reminded me a bit too much of the Proenza SS/2010 fish prints but that might have just been my poor eyesight. Sorry ladies.... I didn't get a huge rock and roll easy rider vibe from the collection but in the end of the day I would totally throw on most of the pieces they sent down the runway.

Hannah Marshall followed directly after opening with a beautiful video made by Rankin. The collection was clean,super modern, strong but sweet. Everything you would expect from Hannah Marshall. Eighteen standout pieces almost half black and the other half off white. The standout for me was the amount of sheer used in the collection, nip slip without the slip!! The exaggerated pleats on the hips and details on some of the blouses and dresses were a very interesting touch. The black jumpsuit with the sheer top was an absolute knockout! My clothing rail is begging for it! There was a clean, modern approach to the pieces with a touch of androgyny in the styling. I think the pieces seemed almost as a clean palette depending on your style and you could take them in a few different directions based on your own personal style.

AUTUMN WARDROBE- SORTED!

2010-09-16T14:29:00.000-07:00

HERE ARE A FEW ITEMS I AM WORKING ON PURCHASING FOR FALL....

Harmony Korine x Proenza Schouler

2010-09-11T06:19:00.000-07:00

I stumbled upon this Proenza AW'2010 video 'Act da' Fool' shot by Harmony Korine in his home town of Nashville. It's basically a gang of girls in designer clothes.. well, what else would a girl gang be wearing to drink 40s and tag words like COKE...obviously Proenza..duh.

I didn't really love the video and it kinda made me feel 'weird' after I watched it. In the end, its a way for Proenza to showcase there pieces for AW'10 and I thought the narrative and the 'story' of the girls kinda distracted from the clothes. I guess that was what the runway show was for and this is just an extension of that. Although, I did pick up on some bad ass styling and I love Vaseline smeared anything... whaaaaa?? In the end though, I will never wear thigh high socks the way I did in grade 7!!

Thoughts on the video? Everyone seems to have different reactions after they see it. Which I guess is a good thing...Happy NYFW!!!!

Objects of deep desires....Dreams, what are my dreams?

2010-08-07T11:58:00.000-07:00

Oh hello, long time no see. I feel bad for not updating this as often as I should. Today I will present you with my current obsession- behold- the grainy wedge ankle boot from Burberry Prorsum AW'10 collection. I stupidly tired them on at Liberty last week. BIG MISTAKE, HUGE! It's all my little London dreamy fashion mind can think about now. I'm trying to justify them with like "Oh, you know, they will be perfect for Fashion week." and "I don't own ankle boots that give me this much height" or like
" my friend works at Liberty and with the discount, and you know it's almost stupid they don't belong to me yet, they are such an INVESTMENT PIECE." Stupid things like that. I still think about last years platform lace up ankle boots Burberry did.

I have some exciting news to report but I'm going to wait a little bit more before I divulge information to all my legions of fans. TTYL

Fully Lined, of course!

2010-07-21T12:20:00.000-07:00

I stumbled on to this old Barbie commercial, I'm such a sucker for cutesy, old commercials like this. I just love how descriptive they are about the fashion. I promise some in depth London stuff very soon! ha..

Lusting.....

2010-06-19T18:44:00.001-07:00

Hello,

I'm day 5 into my permanent stay in the UK. All the summer sales are happening now and I'm lusting over these Opening Ceremony wedges...what do we think?? Should I splurge?

Beach Babe

2010-06-03T13:09:00.000-07:00

I have a shoot coming up this weekend ( pray for no rain) with this lovely lady locks rachelle . These are some inspiration shots.

POST SPRING- PRE FALL- NOT YET SUMMER

2010-05-18T06:32:00.000-07:00

From all of the looks from all of the Pre Fall 2010 Collections this is my all time favourite. I think this Celine marabou ( don't quote me on that) feather dress and kelly green wedge strappy heels enters some strange fashion portal in my mind at least once a week. You know what that means.....I need find some cheaper feather piece version to fill that void.

THAMES SUMMER READING

MARAIS GIRLS

2010-05-11T05:43:00.000-07:00

On Sunday, my most of the time stylish mom spotted these sweet puppies in the new york times style section and I have not been able to stop thinking and looking at them! TROUBLE!

Marais USA is an adorable shoe company based out of NYC. These women design classic staples that every women at some point in there life should own. I'm currently lusting over the Espadrille wedge. I just need to get them to my front door before I head to London!

Check out the website, blog, and wander into the ladies dreamy and creative world. Just don't even think about the Espadrille wedge in tomato red, they've got my name on it!

HALSTON HERITAGE

2010-05-02T14:56:00.002-07:00

With all the hoopla surrounded with Halston these days I'm really, really looking forward to seeing this new documentary Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston by Whitney Sudler-Smith. There seems to be a bit of mystery surrounding this legendary designer, OK maybe not that much mystery. I just need to learn more about him. Hopefully I'll get to see more raw studio 54 images. Googling "Bianca Jagger, Halston, studio 54" just isn't enough for me, I need more!!

Here is the trailer. Side note: vintage fashion regret # 204- trying on a Halston 'fits me like a glove' light wool coat at House of Vintage last year and not picking it up. . shame on me!

CALIFORNIA DREAMING

2010-04-07T13:42:00.000-07:00

The gang and I at the best coast show!

I was mentally preparing my outfit for the best coast show happening on April 13th and you know started thinking about cut off denim vests and starchy cotton boxy 80s print tops and white jeans and soft blond hair pastels and all that then brought myself down to reality and remembered that its ONLY APRIL AND I LIVE IN TORONTO- NOT SANTA MONICA. BOO.
I did however have a vision of my Barbie doll collection and remembered how awesome California Barbie circa 1987 was. I had the Barbie and Midge doll. They came with Beach Boy cassette tapes!

OK so the point to this blog post- to remember how awesome California Barbie and the gang looked and if it was 2010 these Barbies would be listening to Best Coast records!! ya, OK we will go with that..... also, check out BEST COASTS blog... HERE they POST a lot of beach boy videos, which is ALWAYS RAD!

KARLA SPETIC

2010-04-05T12:22:00.000-07:00

I was just introduced to the soft, bold and beautiful designs of Karla Spectic. Her bold pops of colour mixed with the softness of pastel is lovely on the eyes. Her twisting and draping is a tad Burberry but she seems to create an original silhouettes that dare I even say it , love a bit more then Burberry ( sorry Mr. Bailey) Karla hails from Australia, and her pieces are available on her site. I wouldn't dare buy a piece like this online without trying it on but Im hoping I can find that orange and pink cardie or white coat with the sq cut outs when I'm in the UK!

STYLE ICON

2010-03-21T09:16:00.000-07:00

I was inspired by my karaoke choice from last night. My unlikely style icon mid month is Kim Carnes. OK ya, she kinda looks like Debbie Harry but she has a way more minimalist/south western androgynous sensibility to her pieces and she loves menswear, which makes me love her. She was wearing pretty typical looks of the 80's but I love that she didn't load up on the makeup and tease the shit out of her hair. Basically, she wasn't a slave to the 80's take over of out of control looks. She infused her own personal style into it.

I am going to try and do a style icon once a month. stay tuned for April, its going to be a good one!

SPRING SHOE- YOU WILL BE MINE!

2010-03-17T14:22:00.001-07:00

Have you ever seen such a beautiful spring/summer sandal? I doubt it. The brand is toffel relaunched as Hasbeens from Sweden. The only two places in the city to get them are Imelda on the Ronces and Chasse Garde . Let the saving begin!

PLAID MAGAZINE

2010-03-15T10:10:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of styling a shoot for a new online magazine called Plaid Magazine . Here are some behind the scenes photos from the day. The concept was Neutrals and Neons, a huge trend for Spring. Make sure to check out the shoot called bright lights, big city.

Wow, have you ever seen anyone look so beautiful!! I'm not into copper tops but I might have to make an exception with Christina "I wish I had asked her for her measurements when I was stalking her at the AGO a few months ago" Hendricks.

I will be picking up the March issue of New York magazine.

LEE MCQUEEN

2010-02-14T12:57:00.000-08:00

Needless to say, I'm still very shocked about the suicide of Alexander McQueen. I'm not going to go on about how prolific his work was because everybody knows what a genius he was. Lets just enjoy some of his past runway shows from the past few seasons. I was going to round up a bunch of photos but I think this designers work is beyond that and to truly understand his art and what he stood for you have to watch it. When asked what runway show I would like to attend I always said Alexander McQueen, it breaks my heart to know that will never happen.

Smarvlous!

2010-01-12T09:05:00.000-08:00

Last night I went to see Funny Face at the Revue. It was a sheer delight to see an Audrey Hepburn musical on the big screen! I felt transformed into a different time. I'm going to try and see as many old movies that I love on the silver screen as often as I can.
One of my favourite quotes from the movie: Dick Avery played by Fred Astaire is trying to convince Audrey's character Joe to come to Paris and model.... sounds good to me!

How surprised was I when I stumbled upon this United Bamboo preview for Spring 2010. A calender of cats in replicas! I know how difficult it is to dress a cat up, I can only imagine how long this took to shoot! Im pretty sure I came up with this idea a few years ago but I wont give UB a hard time.

Celine vs. Clara = bodysuit showdown

2009-10-28T17:25:00.000-07:00

I love what Phoebe Philo did for Celine SS 2010 with the nude and black applets, I may have a project in the works to re create a version a bit more in my price range. Sadly it will have to involve an aa bodysuit, unless someone can suggest where to find something else. Perhaps dancewear? but it doesn't usually come in nude ( talking aloud to the computer, sorry)
I may be up for alternating colours: black with fuchsia shoulders, teal, etc. I will keep everyone posted on my progress, because I know my devoted fans will not be able to sleep until this project comes into fruition.

THE ROOM

2009-10-20T08:42:00.000-07:00

Last night I had a religious experience! I went to check out the newly renovated- former St. Regis room at the Bay now titled The Room. Back in the day when my much missed snazzy grandmother use to come into the city to buy a fabulous cocktail dress she would go "The Room." The new room is 23, 000 sq ft , designed by master designer Yabu Pushelbelgto. I felt transformed in this new space, white, bright, airy, and filled to the brim with wonderful designer labels: Balmin (off the shoulder blue sequin mini (you know what I am talking about) , Halson, Erdem, Pink Tartan, vintage pieces, and so so so much more. I fell madly in love with many items but one pair of Pierre Hardy black lace up chunky heels to be specific. I don't know how and I don't know when but I think I need to own these shoes!!

2009-07-08T10:06:00.000-07:00

Hi y'all,

Ive been in hiding for a week mourning MJ:(

Just did a quick browse of ridiculous shoes on ETSY. Most of these are not my size but I thought I would share the beauty of them with you. Most of them were between a size 5-8 if you love any of them you cazn browse through the 30 pages like I did.

I'm gonna miss you MJ!

2009-06-26T07:11:00.000-07:00

Here is a a little visual memorial of MJ- the way I want to remember him!!

Vintage Pucci

2009-06-19T16:12:00.000-07:00

I was lucky enough to have grow up with 3 amazingly chic, fabulously stylish grandmothers. Words cannot describe there amazing style!

Over the past 5 years or so I have inherited some amazing vintage pieces. My grandma Peggy use to live in my parents house with us and I thought I had grabbed all the fabulous pieces ( furs, hats, shoes, silk scarfs, costume jewelery, etc). Well, last Saturday I hit the JACKPOT. I found in the depths of a damp basement in a box that has probably not been opened in 17 years a Emilio Pucci original circa 1960-1970. I DIE! I found a slew of other things but Pucci gets its own post.

I wish I drew these....

Tennis Anyone?

2009-06-09T11:16:00.000-07:00

Lately, I have been obsessing over vintage sportswear, mainly tennis. Sports attire like everything else in fashion has changed drastically over the past 100 years. Considering people use to play in wool and long skirts and now skorts and underwear like shorts. My preference is sports wear from the 1940s to 1970s.

Love for Pamela Love

2009-05-28T18:01:00.001-07:00

Pamela Love is a jewelery designer based out of NYC. Her pieces have a macabre/folky quality to them (If they can be both ?). I am aware that she has been out for quite sometime but I always find myself creeping her website or popping into J+O to look at her lovely pieces. Maybe one day I will spend more then $20 on a piece of jewelry, when that day comes I will invest.

dreamy picnic

2009-05-25T12:21:00.001-07:00

Time Travel for Kids!!

2009-02-25T14:00:00.000-08:00

Read All About It! was a Canadian educational television series created by TVOntario that aired during the early to mid 1980s; It also aired in repeats in the 1990s. It starred David Craig Collard as Chris, Lydia Zajc as Lynne, Stacey Arnold as Samantha, and Sean Hewitt as Duneedon, ruler of the galaxy Trialviron. In the second season Michael Dwyer joined the cast as Alex. The main goal of the show was to try and teach viewers about skills such as reading and writing & history in the midst of an entertaining program. Each episode ran for approximately 15 minutes.
Read All About It! focused on Chris who inherited his uncle Derek's coach house after his mysterious disappearance. The show took place in the fictitious town of Herbertville, where Chris and his friends Lynne and Samantha started a newspaper called The Herbertville Chronicle in uncle Derek's coach house. The coach house contained two artificially intelligent robots: Otto, a device which communicated by printing it's thoughts on paper; and Theta, a talking computer with an integrated monitor. The coach house also held a transporter which allowed teleportation to and from the galaxy of Trialviron, as well as transporting many literary characters like the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, Merlin the Magician from King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable, and Captain Hook from Peter Pan into the coach house. The first season focused on the newspaper uncovering a conspiracy by mayor Don Eden (the alter ego of Duneedon, the ruler of the galaxy Trialvaron) who wants to claim King's Park as his own to get a rare mineral he needs to invade Earth. The second season revolved around various storylines: Samantha moves away, but the group meets a new friend; the kids engage in battle with General Isaac Brock during the War of 1812 (with a notable appearance of Graham Greene); they have to stop the Book Destroyer; and have a final confrontation with Duneedon.

I love you Mommy Dearest

2009-01-08T10:32:00.000-08:00

As many of you know...I am a gay man living in a women's body. I just recently watched "Mommy Dearest' for the first time (I know!!) featuring the oh so fabulous Faye Dunway. I watched it twice, first on its own and then the other with commentary with John Waters. Once I saw this movie everything fell into place....the pieces of my gay childhood, of course minus the child abuse! Once I told my mom I was into it she was all like "oh...Bruce and I saw it opening night, we thought it would be fun to have a baby someday and get it to make us cocktails..."

All I can say is that I have my halloween costume for 2009!!

Bathing Beauty

One of my all time favourite bathing beauties is Esther Williams. She started as a competition swimmer at the San Francisco worlds fair in the late 1930s. She attracted the scouts at MGM who turned her into a huge movie star, starring in Million Dollar Baby, Bathing Beauty and many more.
