We might as well pitch a tent and set up camp outside Holt Renfrew’s sleek Bloor Street entrance, because come September, it will be the place to be. Not only is Holt’s taking part in Fashion’s Night Out festivities September 6 (stay tuned for details!), but the store is also ringing in it’s monumental 175th birthday. In true Holt’s fashion, the Hot @175 anniversary will be rung in in style, with a slew of designer collaborations for sale in (what else?) signature magenta.

From its start in 1837 as a hat and cap shop in Quebec City to the go-to luxury mecca it is today, Holt’s has undeniably had a starring role in Canada’s retail legacy. To fête the occasion, everything from high-fashion designs like Christian Louboutin’s magenta-platform sling backs to fun finds like Pantone’s “Holt Renfrew Magenta” notebook will prove that even at 175, Holt’s still has it.

Hudson Jeans is ringing in 10 years of their trademark Cali-meets-London style of denim by rolling out “Hudson Cabaret,” a four-part video series fronted by brand face Georgia May Jagger, and we’ve got an exclusive teaser of the campaign!

It’s hard to believe The Rolling Stones are celebrating 50 years together today (or maybe not so hard if you’ve ever gotten a close-up of Mick’s face), but the original rock style gods are indeed ringing the milestone in. You’re welcome, Hedi Slimane/Johnny Depp/Julian Casablancas/Pete Doherty/…Britney Spears?

Starting with the band’s first jaunt on stage at London’s Marquee Club on July 12, 1962, the Stones have been through five decades of riotous partying, hair-raising performances, illustrious relationships and above all else, some of the most amazing singles modern music history’s ever known. To celebrate the Stones’ birthday, music journalist Hanspeter Kuenzeler has teamed up with The eBook People to put together the two-part 50 Years: The Rolling Stones – Views From the Inside, Views From the Outside, a 2000+ page collection of the best journalistic material spanning the band’s half-century-long run. The book will touch on everything from Mick Jagger’s famously stylish marriage in St. Tropez to Bianca Jagger to the various members’ many struggles with drugs (including Brian Jones’ death and Keith Richards’ infamous arrest for possession of heroin in Toronto).

To celebrate their 35 years in fashion, Canadian denim label Parasuco (parasuco.com) has produced a 200-page limited edition coffee table book featuring their Spring 2010 collection. Shot in lush Vietnam by Canadian photographer Raphael Mazzucco, it is available at Parasuco stores for, coincidently, $35.

Makeup artist and photographer François Nars founded his cosmetics brand with 12 lipsticks. They, and the full line of makeup that soon followed, became iconic, covetable as much for the colours as for the tactile rubbery packaging and clever names. (You may have heard of a certain blush called “Orgasm.”) For the company’s 15th anniversary, 15 celebs (both fashion and the regular variety) posed for photos based on a Nars shade and an iconic reference.
