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!
