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.
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!
just when i thought i couldn't love Jolijn Snijders any more, i had to find out that Snijders is also the editor-in-chief as well as chief photographer for I ♥ FAKE magazine.
i know i've been shooting out post after post over the past few days, but that's because so much is happening and i'm feeling so inspired!
my friend corissa showed me this amazing site today in class. stereo mood. it's this site full of playlists based on different moods. you can listen to pre-made ones or make your own! the chillout one is sweet.
the little mermaid, patsy stone (of absolutely fabulous, darling) or sailor moon?! they're all pretty much my idols (though i find myself sharing the most in common with patsy).
