Holts Contemporary Blog | Holt Renfrew

Her name is Annie Clark but some of you may know her as Fiona. She’s the new kid in school on the hit Canadian television show Degrassi the Next Generation. Fiona and her twin brother Declan are injecting some gossip girl appeal into life at Degrassi High. Fiona is a wealthy jet setting fashionista who has moved to Toronto from Europe and is ready to shake up her new scene with a little high fashion, snobbery and drama.

In real life Annie is far from the snobby, brooding character she plays in the show. What Annie and Fiona do have in common however is their love of fashion. Annie has a fresh youthful style, loving to dress up in Rag and Bone, Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs.

Inspired by Annie’s personal style, clowns and old movie stars from the 40s we pulled together our own fashion shoot this weekend.

This past weekend Holt Renfrew held a special 2-day event. When anyone spent $500 or more in the women’s contemporary department they received an uber cute limited edition Diane von Furstenberg for Holt Renfrew Canvas Bag filled with designer goodies! Think: Theory, Hanky Panky, Bobbi Brown cosmetics, a Rich & Skinny day timer, the new fragrance sampler from Michael Kors and even Marc Jacobs Pjs! Happy shoppers were all over the store on both days enjoying the special gifts and their newly bought fall wardrobe additions.

The contemporary section of Holt Renfrew has really re-invented itself with the constant plethora of new and exciting brands being added to the already full circle containing favorites like Elizabeth & James, Alexander Wang, Alice & Olivia, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Opening Ceremony to name a few. I walked around and admired the creativity put behind the contemporary displays that reminisced a very cool back alley with graffiti signage all over it.

Holts contemporary is truly a fashionista’s heaven….
