The news of the Karl Lagerfeld and H&M collaboration in 2004 – one of the first major high/low fashion partnership – was met with a frenzied sense of excitement. These days, the high/low collabs seem to come and go with little fanfare. Has the concept lost its novelty or are we tired of being underwhelmed by the final product? While there was chaos around the Kate Moss for TopShop collection, little has been said about many other recent team ups, like Alexander Wang for UNIQLO, Philip Lim for Gap, Tara Subkoff of Imitation of Christ for Bebe, Richard Chai for Target…... click here to read more 1 comment | Posted by leigh on Jul 21 2008, 1:53pm Designer Spotlight: Grey Ant
A few weeks ago I got a sneak peek of the Grey Ant Holiday collection, and it is divine! The collection is far less tongue-in-cheek than previous seasons and is packed with vibrant colour. Unfortunately, I can’t show those photos just yet. But, because I couldn't wait to blog about Grey Ant, here are pictures of some of my favourite pieces from the Spring/Summer collection…... click here to read more 0 comments | Posted by leigh on Jul 17 2008, 3:18pm Jump up for jumpers
Shorts have always been a completely functional part of my wardrobe, kept solely for days when I'm doing household errands via bike around the city, planting flowers on my rooftop patio, or cleaning house. Strictly utilitarian...until now!... click here to read more 0 comments | Posted by leigh on Jul 15 2008, 2:04pm All the pretty dresses
The temperature in Toronto is reaching almost unbearable highs. The best way a girl can combat this awful heat and humidity is to stock up on summer dresses.... click here to read more 3 comments | Posted by leigh on Jul 14 2008, 3:15pm Artist Spotlight: Christine Navin
What first attracted me to Christine Navin's photographs was the honesty and rawness of her subjects. I was left intrigued, wishing to have been a fly on the wall for just a few more moments after the photo was snapped. Beautiful and slightly imperfect – Navin's photos evoke a nostalgic longing for those moody days of fading youth.... click here to read more 2 comments | Posted by leigh on Jul 10 2008, 4:40pm The House of Viktor & Rolf
During a stopover in London last week, I stumbled on a magical exhibit at the Barbican Art Gallery showcasing the exquisite work of Dutch fashion duo – Viktor & Rolf. As one might guess, the House of Viktor & Rolf is anything but normal. The retrospective is showcased over two floors of the Barbican gallery using a mixture of regular and life-size dolls decked out in perfect replicas of signature pieces from each of their collections since 1992. All of this is centered around a giant doll house. Cameras were not allowed inside, and the internet is (strangely) void of many good photos of the exhibit – which is probably a good thing because it’s quite the spectacle to observe in person. If you’re going to be in London, England before the 18th of September, do not miss it.... click here to read more 3 comments | Posted by leigh on Jul 09 2008, 1:05pm Designer Spotlight: Dace
One of the things I miss most about running the Paper-Doll.com boutique is Dace. Not ordering from their Spring/Summer 2008 collection was sad, made even more difficult by the fact that this is possibly one of their strongest collections to date.... click here to read more 0 comments | Posted by leigh on Jul 07 2008, 1:51pm | Featured Photographer
