Goodbye Lee. Read past posts about Alexander McQueen on I want – I got.
I mentioned how much I liked the Diesel x Foscarini Lighting in my IDS10: I want – I got Favourite Things Part 1 post. The photos were just a small subset of what is available. I got a catalogue and scanned it. Diesel x Foscarini Lighting is available at the Diesel store in Montreal and Lightform’s Toronto and Vancouver locations
I wrote about the Fashion House From Runway to Hallway preview in the summer of 2009. I’ve discovered some videos of the designers talking about the project. Celebrate the best in Canadian fashion in the heart of Toronto’s Fashion District. Eleven of Canada’s premier fashion designers have added their personal touches to the floors of Fashion House and will be on hand to toast Toronto’s first, award-winning fashion / condo project. This is your chance to mix, mingle and immerse yourself in all that is made-to-measure and ready to dwell. Fashion House – impeccable style from the inside, out.

Trench Cape by Maison Martin Margiela I thought the Burberry x Colette trenches were pretty cool but this Maison Martin Margiela one has taken over. images: ssense.com
The first Philip Sparks Fall 2010 Preview Video was release in January. Philip is inspired by Moby Dick this season. I can’t wait to see all the nautical inspired clothing and accessories. Since then there have been two videos posted so I’m going to post all three for you to enjoy. Part 3 is so much fun. Peacoats for all! Follow the Philip Sparks blog for updates.
I was reading WWD.com and came across these WUYORK handmade bowties. I was surprised to discover that Taiwanese designer York Wu spends his time in New York and Toronto. He is also an interdisciplinary artist/designer and Interior Designer. His bowties are quite beautiful and unusual. These bowties can move between traditional usage and jewellery. The WUYORK website contains more product and campaign images. There is also photos of the packaging, which is just as beautiful. images: wuyork.com

bamjamz send me a tank top in the Sweet Dreamz print from their new line of sleep/lounge wear for review. The line consists of tanks, tunics, shorts, leggings, tshirts and pants. I was interested because bamjamz is Toronto based and they use bamboo fabric. I’m a big fan of bamboo. bamjamzâ„¢ is the latest concept from GUATS Soft Goodsâ„¢ founders Brad Rudin and Adrian Kraizel, that has redefined the concept of “pyjamas†through a fun, sexy and adventurous concept designed to fit the lifestyle of the modern woman – urban, active and spiritual. Made from the softest, coziest bamboo stretch blend fabric, bamjamzâ„¢ delivers a new dimension in natural comfort and performance. This remarkable sustainable and easy to care for fabric breathes, regulates temperature, wicks moisture, controls odour and is hypoallergenic. Sourced from organic and FSC certified bamboo, bamjamzâ„¢ is an all-Canadian collection, having been created in Toronto, designed by Vancouver’s Carol Fergusson and manufactured in Vancouver, with fabric knitted in Montreal. Bamboo is a soft fabric and it’s one of the reasons why I …
Lanvin Small Piquet Dress This is the same dress from the amazing Lanvin Spring 2010 Ad Campaign. Beautiful.
The full ad campaign for Balenciaga’s Spring 2010 collection is out. I kinda like it even though it looks a bit budget. The more I see the boots, the more I like them. It was the W magazine I was browsing this weekend that planted the bug.
