Supra NS Sneakers High-tops, high-tops, high-tops. I’m all about the high-top and the Supra NS are speaking to me. I’m dying for a pair of gold sneakers and these are nice. However, I love the fabric treatment on the grey option. The multibuckle shoe is my favorite style of the three Available at STOLENRICHES®. 734 Queen St. West Toronto 647.428.7497 Info@stolenriches.ca
Louise Goldin Unravelled is a great video series that covered Louis Goldin’s Fall Winter 2009 – 2010 collection. It goes from conception to show and it’s fascinating. Working backwards from Louise Goldin’s show at London Fashion Week in February 2009, Unravelled reveals every facet in the development of her Autumn/Winter 2009 collection, deconstructing her creative process through ten weekly episodes. Recording months of work and featuring extensive in-depth interviews and intimate footage from her studio and factories in Milan – much shot by Goldin herself – Unravelled pulls Louise Goldin’s experimental and innovative work apart at its seams, offering unique access inside the creativity one of fashion’s most exciting new talents.
Adrienne Butikofer Fall 2009 – 2010 Lookbook
I have to admit, I get invited to some pretty cool things. I LOVE IT! The latest adventure was a little lesson in sophisticated entertaining by Bombay Sapphire Gin courtesy of Ian Barr of Rocket XL (I want – I got loves you Ian). The group was about 40 people including familiar faces from twitter (Rannie, Sass who is oh so sassy, Jaime Woo, Andrew Louis, Suresh, Marie) and the fashion world. The venue, 49 Nanton Avenue, the former home of Ted Rogers Sr. It was incredible to say the least. The Globe and Mail has a great slideshow from when the house went up for sale. It looks a little different with the new owners, it’s spectacular. The backyard area is the same and that pool is the most fabulous thing I’ve ever seen; non chlorinated and a lovely 80-85 degrees. Yes people, it was heated to perfection. I wanted to strip down and jump in. Teaching the art of sophisticated entertaining was Merlin Griffiths, Master Mixologist and Bombay Sapphire Global Brand Ambassador. Merlin …
I waxed poetic about some of the Givenchy Spring 2009 shoes. I bypassed the cowboy inspired stuff as too kitsch. At the Italy at Your Feet VIP Cocktail I saw them up close and personal. I’m a fan, they are drool worthy. I’m also a big fan of these mesh ones. Hot! They are at Browns Bloor Street right now.
Strategic Ampersand provided me with a Nikon S230 to evaluate for two weeks. I’m never really pleased with the performance of point and shoot cameras but it’s the cruel bargain I have made with myself. A digital SLR is just too big to carry around to events and that trumps any idea I have about owning one. I like something small and compact. I use a Pentax right now and I have a bit of a love hate relationship with it. I hate it more than my old Pentax. I broke my old Pentax but we had a great relationship. I was able to take consistently good pictures with the camera and I haven’t been able to replicate that feeling with the new Pentax. I was hoping the Nikon S230 might return me to those carefree days of great photos. The big claim to fame for the S230 is the 3 inch touch screen. I’m usually not a touch screen fan but I was curious to see what the technology was like. Some of the …
Melissa + Zaha Hadid at Holt Renfrew. I love the look of these Melissa sandals which I mentioned awhile back on the blog. They are available at Holt Renfrew. EDIT: (May 9, 2009) – Saw the shoes in Holt Renfrew. They retail $295 image: Highsnobette.com
Greta Constantine Fall 2009 – 2010 Lookbook Since the lookbook has been out I’ve noticed a little bit of misinformation about the Greta Constantine Boys that I would like to clear up: Greta Constantine is not Project Runway Canada alums. Stephen Wong entered the contest as an individual not as Greta Constantine which includes his partner Kirk Pickersgill. Just clearing that up for you.
Studded Sandals from Browns Shoes I saw a women trying on these sandals at the Italy at Your Feet VIP Cocktail. They look so good on that I asked her if my photographer, Paul Baik, could take a photo. Photos Taken by Paul Baik for I want – I got, www.paulbaikphoto.com
I wasn’t able to see the Holt Renfrew Magenta Girls in person and I was very disappointed. I was busy the days they were touring areas of the city spreading the word about Holt Renfrew. I know a couple of the Magenta Girls so I was getting regular updates on their excursions. I saw the facebook group photos and some of them were so cute. They also made their way down to The Financial District, my hood. They chatted up the Boys from Bay Street and played on the TD Centre cows. Those cows are damn popular. Even I have a picture of one I took at my desk in the office. Hopefully I will be free to check out their next excursion into the streets of Toronto. I want their outfits! images courtesy of Holt Renfrew.
