I’ll admit that the first thing I think of when I think of Autumn is “new clothes”, recalling back to school shopping and indoctrination to the church of style via the much awaited “September Issue”. It always feels like, at least fashion wise, September is the beginning of the new year and all past fashion...Read More

With kids heading back to class tomorrow, it really feels like Autumn is upon us, which always makes me think of bags. Not that bags are a seasonal thing at all, but I feel like the colder the weather gets, the more I have to carry. Autumn feels like a time to get it done,...Read More

It still feels like summer, but we know Autumn is on the way… from fallen leaves to back to school, we’re ready for the shift, in part, so we can switch over to layers and luxe fabrics. One of our most inspirationally Autumn designers is Adhesif Clothing, with each piece made by hand in Vancouver....Read More

Statement fashion isn’t limited to clothing alone, so we are shining a very sparkly, happy light on Vancouver based Jewelry label Toodlebunny. We love designer Trudy Wynans’ assemblage style: combining vintage bits and bobs, crystals, deadstock chain and whatever else she uncovers to create one of a kind statement pieces. Toodlebunny pieces seem to be...Read More

As our Statement Fashion week continues, we’re taking a look at girl powered lingerie brand Revol Girl. We love the motivation behind Revol Girl, as explained by designer Sara Jonsdottir, who’s not afraid to talk about periods, period. The functionality of fashion (and how it relates to menstruation) is generally to wear something baggy to...Read More

Few things make more of a statement than having something on your head… which is perhaps why we love hats! Hats transform us from one character to the next, adding an element of drama to a casual look. A well made hat can last the test of time, so we are incredibly drawn to the...Read More

It’s Monday again, which means the start to a whole new week of artist profiles as we get ever closer to our show in September. This week is all about Statement Fashion: pieces that are bold, brave and unapologetic, much like the designers that have created them. Today we’re meeting Krysta Furioso, the beadweaver behind...Read More

Happy Friday everybody! We’re a bit late posting today since we’ve been out enjoying the Vancouver sunshine and building up our Vitamin D stores, knowing the weather will eventually return to rain here on the west coast… which brings us to today’s designer profile: Cassandra Bailey, designer and maker behind custom clothing and accessory line...Read More

Carrying on (see what I did there) with our Made To Order week, we’re profiling Jola V Designs, made by Jolanta Va. While not all her work is custom, Jolanta specializes in bags and accessories for the taller woman, a demographic that is often under-serviced by the fashion industry. We love the way Jolanta transforms...Read More

Like just about everyone else did today, we stared up at the sun to catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse, because we didn’t want to miss out. I guess if they happened all the time, we wouldn’t really care about eclipses, or meteor showers, or any other celestial goings-on… which is why we’ve chosen...Read More
