I was introduced to Macallan Scotch Tasting through a tasting event at The Hazelton. It was a great experience and I learned to appreciate scotch. Over the course of the years I ended up at two more scotch tastings with Macallan. I took some video of the last one so you could get an idea of what these tastings are all about.
I’m all over Prada Spring Summer 2011 right now. I love the collection and accessories. The video ad campaign is on loop at my house. Prada is good at the marketing that goes into the brand. The spring summer 2011 collection sold me on the runway. The video and print ad campaign turned it into lust. Prada had a great lookbook for fall winter 2010 – 2011 which they recreated in video form. I’m hoping something like this happens for spring summer too.
The LCBO presented Classic Cocktails: A 1960s Soirée event which was held The Carlu in Toronto. Janie Bryant, the Emmy Award Winning Mad Men costume designer was in attendance and talked about the impact of 1960s fashion on current pop culture. I attended the event and managed to get some video of Janie talking. The lighting is so bad in the Carlu so please forgive how dark it is. I’m not going to apologize for the loud and rude crowd that talked over Janie Bryant the whole time. Poor form Toronto, poor form. I didn’t know what Janie looked like before the event and she is beautiful. She’s someone who can make St. John’s look hot because I would have never suspected they did her dress.
I loved the Stephane Rolland Haute Couture collection for Spring Summer 2011. There are a lot of go big or go home dresses with lots of interesting details. images: fashionshowphotos.net
Thank god for Tommy Ton and Justin Wu. They bring us beautiful male models lip syncing on camera. Swoon. I’m very thrilled to be presenting another video in collaboration with Justin Wu. He’s worked extremely hard this time around gathering all the boys in milan and paris for this special video and i’m so grateful he’s done it again for Jak & Jil blog. Thank you to all the male models who participated and made this video even more special. Enjoy!!! You can all thank me later.
The Brose spring summer 2011 video added a new dimension to the clothes for me. I posted photos from the Brose spring summer 2011 collection last year and I now loved things that I had passed over. I’m still salivating over the strapless feathered dress. You can try your hand at winning a Brose dress by entering the “Long day at work contest”.
The Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring Summer 2011 fashion show video is out. I loved this collection and that makes it two in a row that gets thumbs up from me. Part 1 Part 2 John Galliano’s walk at the end of this one is classic as always. He’s also sporting a new hairstyle.
Barneys commissioned a fashion film from director Ruth Hogben for the Givenchy spring 2011 arrivals. It starts my all time favourite model Mariacarla Boscono. I have no words.
I’m trying to organize my gmail account so I’ve started adding filters. The number of ways to filter PR pitches is working pretty good I think. Now that I’m getting a bit organized I rediscovered this great video of Janelle Monáe and Karl Lagerfeld chatting that Marisa from Atlantic Records send me way back in mid December. It’s pretty cute. I love, love Janelle Monáe. Amazing musician with perfect style. This post just isn’t complete without some videos and photos. Cold War Tightrope Tightrope live on Letterman.

I just can’t quit Versace and I’m loving the Spring Summer 2011 collection. I don’t think I’ll be satisfied until I own a bodycon dress from Versace.
