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...
Converse Fall/11
Last week I got the chance to see the Converse fall 2011 collection. You would think that converse only has a few specific styles, but they have so many! From glittery & girlie ones, to super hero comic ones, and green eggs & ham themes for kids. I absolutely loved their boots, classic style, but...
Mikhael Kale
This Torontonian has certainly made us proud. Now residing in New York, Mikhael is a young designer who is way ahead of his years. Many call his work modern art in motion. At a first glance, his designs look quite simple, but once you take a deeper look into it, that is when you realize...
Cara Cheung Debut 2011 Collection
Sure, Cara Cheung may have debuted her first independent fashion show months ago (March 23 to be exact), but I’ve been a little late with these emerging designers, which is unfortunate because Cara Cheung’s structured dresses with bites of embellishments has thrown her to the top of my top 5 Canadian fashion designers list.

Furi Design
I think the best word for Furi Design’s spring/summer 2011 collection is simple. Simply, simple. Not only that, but it’s also very futuristic in a way, which pushes it’s “airy” light element. This Canadian label brings about an effortless chic look, focusing on linework, minimilism, and quality. If you’re looking for something that is very modern but yet...
Erdem F/W 2011
One of my favourite designers, Erdem Moralioglu, just keeps getting better and better as the seasons pass by. Raised in Canada, but based in London, he focuses on the fabric and fit of his clothes. I absolutely love the different prints Erdem used throughout the collection. The inspiration for this season was “a slightly unhinged...
