The Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 collection from Danier is out. Some of my favourite pieces are their collaborations with John Hillifer, winner of Danier Design Challenge 2010 and the Raphael Mazzucco Mixed Media Montage collection. The selection of pieces I like are all very motorcycle inspired.

I’m loving the leather dress and Celine inspired black leather tshirt. John’s jacket is very different from what I normally see in Danier and that’s a good thing to see them embracing different design. Raphael Mazzucco Mixed Media Montage collection pieces have colourful linings that were created by Raphael.

I love this leather and bouclé coat from the Ports 1961 Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 collection. It’s definitely tapping into that Shearling aviator vibe that is popular this season.

This Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2010 coat is to die for. I tried it on at Holt Renfrew. The colour is so incredibly vibrant. Of course it fits like a glove.

This sculptural blazer from Maison Martin Margiela is such a fun statement piece.

I saw this Alexander Wang Leather Jacket with Removable Canvas Skirt in Holt Renfrew earlier this week. I was all over it. It came in some different colour combinations too. This piece did nothing for me on the runway but in person it’s spectacular.

I love the idea of a packable jacket. The Mackage Bibi
jacket provides function and form. It’s water resistant and has that classic Mackage silhouette.

I was doing my regular rounds of Holt Renfrew Bloor Street with The Oracle a few weekends ago. We ran into Tommy Ton of JakandJil. I hadn’t seen Tommy since he started on his adventures during Men’s and Women’s fashion weeks so it was really good to catch up for a bit. I say this to everyone but Tommy is such a sweetheart.
The highlight of our catching up was me playing model in Celine for Tommy. I know, it’s pretty lame but simple pleasure right. I’ve always looked, touched and drooled over the Celine pieces in Holts but never dared to try anything on. With Tommy Ton present I had the perfect excuse. He had me try on two army jackets and I’m posting about the one I really, really love. The jacket is “the sex”. There is something about well made designer goods that just feel like a dream on. If I had to cash to drop on this jacket, I probably would do it in a heartbeat, look at the back of it!!!!

It seems Tommy is a little obsessed with the jacket as he snapped it a couple of times in his style.com post called JakAndJil’s Tommy Ton Calls Out His Favorite Off-Catwalk Trends. I honestly can’t blame him.
