The work of four Canadian designers will be featured in a designer pop-up at an outlet mall outside of Oxford, England. The British Design Collective at Bicester Village outlet mall offers buyers the opportunity to pick up looks from Erdem, Mark Fast, Jean Pierre Braganza and Todd Lynn (as well as, you know, some British designers) at up to 50 per cent off. The pop-up opens March 31 and will be open for six weeks.

For argument’s sake, lets take these pieces from Mark Fast and Erdem that we found at full price on British retailer Browns’ website (brownsfashion.com). (Browns has no affiliation with the sale, nor do we know if these pieces will be available.) The pieces are, from clockwise from the top left corner, left, are £1,595, £985, £420 and £240. At the current rate of exchange that’s at total of CAD$4,910.

Let’s do some fashion math:

When we caught wind of an affordable Marc Jacobs capsule collection coming down the pike, our first email was to Holt Renfrew to see if it was coming north of the border and…it is!

Lovely in…a look for less

To me, the recession and climate change are the best excuses to convince you all to start shopping for vintage (hence recycled) clothes. Whatever your budget and however you like to shop, these are both good reasons to join in. First of all, don’t be afraid! The secret on how to wear old stuff is pretty simple: don’t wear it from head to toe. Mixing up designer labels, vintage clothes and low-cost goods not only to makes for an original outfit, but also helps you create your own fashion identity.
