Petra Collins – The Girls of TO
Eighteen year old Petra Collins has been buzzed about quite often lately. I’ve been seeing her work all over the web. Having just graduated from high school, she has a very raw sense of photographing teen girls from Toronto. What I love about her work is that even though she glamorizes the looks, it doesn’t look...
Joanna Hillman
Although she may look like a model (her mother was though), Toronto-born Joanna Hillman is the Senior Fashion Market Editor of Harper’s Bazaar. Having studied art history at the University of Western Ontario, she now resides in New York where her style has been captured many times in the streets. For a while she was...
& I Go Back to Black…
R.I.P. 14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011 Your fans will miss you dearly. I’m still so shocked, even though I had a feeling it was coming. http://mehrnazart.com
Alana Zimmer
Born and raised in Ontario, she is traveling the world, appearing everywhere in shows such as Chanel & Givenchy, as well as being featured in Vogue & Numero. The past few months have definitely been busy for her, as she is featured in Vogue Russia’s August issue (images below). As well, she is the new...
Kathy Lo
Canadian photographer, Kathy Lo has a style of pictures that I live for. Raw, deep, and lots of fun; almost documentary like. Having studied at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, she now lives in NYC, living in a Buddhist temple. Her work has been featured in magazines such as Vogue and i-D. Below are a...
The Lake & Stars
Lingerie and swimwear are things that we just need, but designers Maayan Zilberman & Nikki Dekker bring a whole new definition to the word “lingerie”. I’m trying to think of what style they would fit into, but they pretty much cover everything; modern, traditional, seductive, and sporty, all at the same time. Below are images...
Christian Louboutin in Canada
When you think of Christian Louboutin you can’t help but think of the most beautiful heels in the world; with the red soles of course. The French luxury designer, known for his amazing classic styles, as well as other quite wild styles, is an absolute mad genius in creating accessories. So get ready for this....
The Girl Knows How to Shine
My summer songlist consists of A LOT of Metric, and just when I thought their music couldn’t get any better, I realized how amazing Emily Haine’s fashion sense is. Being the lead singer of Metric, she definitely has a very unique, personal style. Interestingly, she was born in India, but of course raised in Canada....
Fierce
Since Pride Week was this past week (and ends today, July 3rd), I thought about making an illustration dedicated to LGBTQ. “Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?” ~Ernest Gaines And if you haven’t seen it yet, check out my new site! http://mehrnazart.com...
A Twist on Modern Art
This past weekend I got the lovely chance to see the Distillery District in Toronto; which means the Toronto Jazz festival, lots of food, and even more art galleries. All throughout the day I saw amazing pieces of art, and met many interesting people, with jazz music in the background echo, but one thing that...
Martin Lim Performance
In the previous post I explained how Montreal based brand Martin Lim (by duo designers Danielle MARTIN & Pao LIM) will be having a fashion performance in Toronto & Montreal on June 15. Well, the pictures have arrived, and they look amazing! With the help of “The Cheating Wall”, this was made possible! Photos by Sébastien Photographiste Roy For...
