au revoir, carine

To all you power-hungry fashionistas (ugh, I hate that word) - there's a new job opening in the industry that you might need to know about.

Editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, Carine Roitfeld, has announced that she will be leaving her post! After ten amazing years at the magazine, she will be leaving to pursue, well, something else. What? - I'm not sure. I mean after all, what more could you ask for, being the queen of Parisian fashion?

Alas, in a matter of weeks, she will be gone. The big question: Who will be taking her place? Any ideas?

bridget leigh

here are some shots of my dear friend bridget i've taken in the past week.

fantasia

A few weeks ago, I downloaded and watched Fantasia. It had been so long since I had last seen it so it and I had forgotten about a lot of the scenes. It also hadn't really occurred to me before how beautiful the animation is in it. I suppose that's because I was probably 9 when I last watched it. Here are some of my favourite film stills I took while watching.

why so psycho for?!

the selby

Lately I've been really into interior design. I so badly want to redo my room, but thanks to my lack of funds, I constantly find myself resorting to rearranging my knick knacks and, well... that's about it. I've been meaning to make a trip to value village soon to pick up some trinkets. I was also debating a trip to ikea, but that always ends in me sobbing over a $1 frozen yogurt cone at the checkout, wishing one of the "bedrooms" upstairs was mine.

ANYWAY, that brings me (somehow) to The Selby! I shouldn't have to explain it, but The Selby is the website of Todd Selby who is a photographer who takes photos of (awesome) people's homes. "Awesome" applying to both the people and the homes. Here are a few of my favourites...

Albert Maysles - Filmmaker; and Gillian Walker - Therapist
At their home in Harlem - Sept 22nd 2010

Lyndsay Caleo - Goldsmith and Interior Designer; and Fitzhugh Karol - Woodworker and Interior Designer
At their home in Brooklyn - June 9th 2010

how did i not know i was on dirtyflaws?! flattered.

getting my web on

So, I've been in the process of redesigning my website - how exciting! It'll be up in the next few weeks.

In the mean time, here's my new logo for you to ogle at.

sew fancie!

11:11

so, i'm completely obsessed with stereomood.

check out the playlist i'm currently working on! it's called 11:11 because every day for the past week i've looked at the clock at 11:11. it must mean something. so this is my tribute to 11:11.

THOMAS// SS2011

It's that time of year again that all of us Torontonians have been anticipating... LG Fashion Week! (Note the hint of sarcasm in my voice.)

To be fair, this season deserves much more recognition than past seasons. This is thanks to the newly established "The Fashion Collective," comprised of my friends Kate Mullin, Dwayne Kennedy and Brian A. Richards. The Fashion Collective provides a fresh take on the seemingly lacking Toronto fashion industry by supporting the talented up and comers that would have otherwise been overlooked by the Fashion Design Council of Canada. Among these designers are my friends Drew and Mikey (Michael) Thomas whom I have mentioned in many other posts. Thanks to The Fashion Collective, THOMAS// SS2011 debuted at LG Fashion Week last night.

The THOMAS// SS2011 collection was much more refined than past collections. Having moved past the shredding trend, the designers created a far more tailored and sophisticated collection featuring long button-down tunics, draped cardigans, and leather bermuda shorts. A favourite of the show-goers were the ruched black skinny jeans, which I later found out were cut in a concave C-shape so that when worn, became scrunched around the knee. My personal favourite pieces were the black skinny jeans with a horizontal front slit just above the knee, as well as the hooded silk cape that had been made in wool last season.

Seeing my friends make it to LG Fashion Week has made me feel like a proud mother, as I'm sure many other friends of theirs feel. I look forward to seeing how they develop their line in seasons to come!

Next up: Amanda Lew Kee SS2011
