Every Tuesday, we round up the best events from the city’s fashion scene. In this edition: a sale at one of Toronto’s best boutiques, Kate Spade New York launches at Yorkdale, an exhibition to ease the winter blues and more.
Though you still see them everywhere, wearing jeans in the winter is pretty inadvisable if you’re planning on skipping the thermals underneath. Instead of having the windchill freeze the denim to your legs, you might want to stop by Ossington’s Philip Sparks to pick up a pair of these flannel-lined jeans.
Sadly, buying a designer handbag doesn’t happen as often as most of us would like. Usually, we’re left to gaze upon our most coveted favourites as they’re lined up lovingly at Holt Renfrew or The Room. But if saving up for a new “it” bag is your goal, why not stay on track with some daily visual inspiration?
Getting “discovered” while sipping your skinny latte outside the Eaton Centre just got a little bit harder. One of the world’s top modeling agencies, Ford Models, has announced that it will be shuttering its Toronto branch by the end of January. The move came as a surprise to many. And while the loss may be a short-term boon for some competing agencies, Ford’s shutdown is a hit to Toronto’s hard-won identity as a fashion capital.
Once you’ve seen one pair of black winter gloves, you think you’ve seen them all, right? Not so with these knitted wool and sheep leather gloves from J. Lindeberg. The Swedish king of cool knows a thing or two about looking good in a snowstorm, which must be why these Normann gloves give off an aura of biker swagger.
Christian Louboutin may be from France, but the beauty (and prices) of his iconic shoes are known worldwide. Fresh off a showcase held at London’s Design Museum this past spring, a special Louboutin exhibition is making its way across the pond to set up shop at Toronto’s Design Exchange next year from June 21 to Sept. 15.
Every week, we round up the best events from the city’s fashion scene. In this edition: a high-fashion sportswear sales event, a pop-up from a local jewellery designer, a charitable get-together at Miracle Thieves and more.
It’s only fitting that a French fashion house would create its own interpretation of the snow globe for the holiday season. After all, it is an object that has become a classic gift at this time of year, one that dates back to France in the 19th century. While the gift of a snow globe might seem better suited to a child, a Lanvin version makes it appropriate for fashion lovers of all ages.
When you need something to keep you warm while window shopping on chilly Queen West or checking out Christmas decorations on a date in Yorkville, you better make sure it looks damn good, too.
Online shopping can make searching for gifts, especially at this time of year, a heck of a lot easier. Still, when you don’t know where to start, trolling through website after website can be daunting. Enter The Gift Network, a Canadian website that launched last week offering products from over 200 independent boutiques across the country.
Every week, we round up the best events from the city’s fashion scene. In this edition: a celebrity fashion blogger appearance, Calvin Klein opens at Vaughan Mills, not-to-be-missed sample sales and more.
After designers Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong of Greta Constantine showed their spring 2013 collection to buyers in Paris, they deemed a Toronto Fashion Week catwalk extravaganza to be, well, unnecessary. Instead, the boys chose to do things their way, showing the goods just as the holiday season comes into full swing.
