Golden Years
There’s a brand new talk, but it’s not very clear
That people from good homes are talking this year
It’s loud and tasteless and I’ve heard it before
You shout it while you’re dancing on the ole dance floor
Fashion! Turn to the left
Fashion! Turn to the right
Ziggy Stardust, The Thin White Duke, David Bowie; one man with many stylish personalities. He revolutionized the worlds of pop music and pop fashion for decades. His androgynous style influenced me to create a modernized version of his look for this photo shoot.
The holidays are before us, which means it’s time to face snowy Canadian winter in a uniform of sexy androgynous looks for men and women. Shimmering sequins and luxurious leather, colourful prints and fabrics are the perfect way to celebrate. Their strawberry-haired complexions make this look even more relevant for the season.
It’s Fashion Week… and I Have Nothing to Wear
What the **** am I supposed to wear to a party that calls for 5:30? Will the look be post-work or pre-party? Red lipstick, purple lipstick, no lipstick?? Too many questions and too little time.
Looking out over Toronto from Merrill’s 45th floor apartment, I threw on a basic black dress, a knockout necklace made of watches by up and comer Michelle Ross, and sparkly tights. When I realized the tights looked more Arden than Dior Spring ’10, I peeled them off and substituted the classic black variety. Merrill opted for her Rag and Bone leather patch leggings, a Rogan sweater and her Acne shoe-boots that are reserved for events 2 hours or less.
When we walked into the Holt Renfrew LG Fashion week party at 5:45, we were happy with our decisions. We wouldn’t have picked any dressier or any less if we had the chance to do it all over. As Chris Sherman of Fashion Television said to me “ There is fashion for all tastes at these events.”
Every Toronto fashion celebrity was there from Jeannie Beker to Tommy Ton. We all mingled and drank wine until Barbara Atkin and Robin Kay introduced the mini fashion show celebrating Holt Renfrew’s picks of the Canadian design “Group of Seven.” My favourite super-star model Kate Somers, the toast of my former high school, opened the show in Lida Baday. After we all snapped pics and finished our last sips, it was time to call it a night. I was sad to go, but left looking forward to all the events to follow this week in Toronto.
