i want: Knits by Sacai

Published by

Knits by Sacai. I’ve been turned onto Sacai recently. Abe Chitose worked at Comme des Garçons and Junya Watanabe for 10 years before starting Sacai in 1999. Her knitwear is amazing. Holt Renfrew carries the line and you should really go into the Bloor street store to and check the stuff out, especially if you haven’t had the pleasure of looking at Japanese design up close. I’m in love with the above cardigan, it’s all about the collar and shoulder. The one that Holt’s carries had burgundy in the ruffles. This season was all about the ruffle and it was incorporated throughout the collection. images: the Fashion Spot – sacai F/W 08.09

Published by

I’m loving the Jil Sander Ad Campaign. I was a fan of his collection this season. His architectural take on the collar had me hooked. Lara Stone looks amazing in these. I’m not a big Natasha fan, but I like her profile shots. via the Fashion Spot – Jil Sander F/W 08.09 : Natasha Poly, Lara Stone & Matvey Lykov by Willy Vanderperre images: same source

Longtime readers must know by now that I don’t do celebrities on this blog. I don’t really frequent celeb style blogs and I can’t stomach to write about the topic. I do read some gossip blogs (dirty habit) and I came across this lookbook photo: I can’t take it. Seriously! via ohnotheydidnt: Heidi Montag’s second collection for ‘Heidiwood’ Look Book image: same source

I got a sneak peak at m0851’s fall collection and it’s very nice. I’m particularly in love with the purple bags and wool jackets. m0851 is Canadian and based out of Montreal. All of their goods are designed and manufactured in Montreal. For those of you that don’t have a problem with leather, you’ll wanna eat up the whole store. More photos here: m0851 Fall 2008 Preview

Alber Elbaz for Acne Jeans

Published by

Alber is designing denim. Designed for city dwellers high and low, the reinvented classic tuxedo jackets, trenches, charming minidresses, and cuffed jeans are sure to satisfy style mongers of every taste—if not every budget. Coming to a store near you in November with prices like jeans ranging from $550 to $650, coats from $1,200 to $1,500 and Jewelry and handbags above $1,500. Lanvin certainly isn’t cheap. I imagine Holt’s will carry them. EDIT: It’s been confirmed, Holt’s will carry this line. via Refinery29 Pipeline – Alber Elbaz for Acne: Lanvin’s Designer Tries On Some Jeans image: refinery29.com

Canadian jewelery designer, Karen McClintock looks lovely. Hot shoes! There are a few people in Toronto that make my style icons list. One is Mary from Holt’s and the other is journalist Nathalie Atkinson. She looks amazing all the time and is a huge supporter of Canadian fashion. She was a ravishing display of colour that night. Here is a run down of her outfit. glasses by Rapp (handmade in Toronto!) garden insect necklace of vintage buttons and charms, made custom to theme by the amazing Clare Ramen of Buttercup Days vintage fabric clutch by Bennie & Olive silk drape skirt and silk draped top both by Véronique Miljkovitch of Montreal (bought at the MADE show last season, but you can buy her stuff at Model Citizen and Basia in town) shoes by Chie Mihara – not Canadian Andrew Sardone rocked the yellow shoes.

What does Barbara think?

Published by

I was reading the Buyers Report from WWD on the Fashion Spot and noticed that Barbara Atkin, vice president, fashion direction from Holt Renfrew talks about the collections from a retail perspective. Milan “Although Milan started as a somber season, it ended on a high note by offering a variety of beautiful and luxurious clothing with an infusion of newness. We saw a combination of the strict and subdued juxtaposed against a kaleidoscope of color, print and detail, all adding up to a decadent, luxurious bohemian style. We saw influences from the Seventies with long, lean silhouettes and covered-up clothes playing against the short and swinging. The ‘separates’ dressing that had its roots in the Seventies is making a strong return. We will be looking for luxurious coats; cropped or shapely jackets with accented shoulders; soft, folkloric dresses, blouses and skirts; cardigans and sweater coats; skinny and cropped pants, and man-tailored suits. We will be slightly increasing our budget over last year, as we believe our customer will continue to come to us looking for …
