What do you wear to the opening party of the newly renovated Tiffany & Co. flagship, The Landmark? One would assume diamonds — after all, they are a girl’s best friend and the jeweller’s best seller. But not if you’re Hailey Bieber. RELATED: Hailey Bieber Says It’s Time to Make the Hair Change You’ve Been […]

The US and UK collide in Tommy Hilfiger x Richard Quinn In theory, Tommy Hilfiger x Richard Quinn shouldn’t work: one represents quintessential American style, the other has come to personify the experimental aesthetic coming out of the UK. Yet, this collaboration brings out the best in both. Think maximalist Varsity jackets, punk suiting and […]

You know the one—huge, canary yellow, cushion-shaped, just a carat and a half shy of 130—The Tiffany Diamond takes a rare leave of absence from Tiffany & Co.’s Fifth Avenue flagship to visit the Vancouver store on Burrard Street, its very first trip to Canada. To celebrate the diamond’s arrival, Tiffany & Co. hosted a […]

Posters of Holly Golightly hang on our walls. Memes of her and Fred are peppered throughout our Insta-feeds, and some of us have even an orange cat named “Cat.” So, why do we share this great admiration for “that daring, darling Holly Golightly,” (as my particular movie poster puts it)? She’s basically all of us. […]

This Friday, Spectre finally opens, and with it will come a completely Tom Ford-clad James Bond. (Bless us everyone.) This marks the third time Tom Ford has dressed Bond, with the designer having worked closely with costume designer Jany Temime to ensure the tailor-made pieces do Ian Fleming’s hero aesthetic justice. “I could not be […]

The 5 items our staff buys over and over »

In Breakfast at Tiffany’s, we first meet an elegant if forlorn Holly Golightly peering into the windows of Tiffany & Co. She’s wearing sunglasses and a long black dress. Fast-forward a few scenes and we see her scrambling to get ready for a meeting, hastily slipping her lithe frame into a little black dress. And in the penultimate scene, she leaves the police station for a flight to Brazil and changes into—you guessed it—a black dress. We never actually see Holly’s closet, but it seems pretty plausible that there are at least a few more black dresses in there. She may be a fictional character, but Holly Golightly’s tendency to amass multiple versions of the same item is a classic case of art imitating life. When I moved out of my apartment in December, my boyfriend packed up my bedroom and marvelled at how many pairs of dark blue skinny jeans I own. “There’s your hoard of denim,” he said, pointing to a large, overflowing suitcase (it needed to be expanded to accommodate them all). I’ve personally declared a moratorium on my mother purchasing any more navy-blue suits, and a friend recently made me vow to step in if she tries to buy another pair of black flats. Even Jenna Lyons admits to having an entire rack of white shirts in her closet. So why, even with shelves of blue jeans, closets full of navy suits and countless pairs of black ballerinas, do we keep buying more?

1/5

Striped Shirt

“Breton striped shirts, because I’m obsessed with French girl style. I open my dresser drawer and it’s basically a Bill Murray movie. #RIPHaroldRamis”
—Lesa Hannah, beauty director

2/5

Turtleneck

“I am a turtleneck collector. I have a section devoted to them in my dresser. I still haven’t found the perfect one.”—Eliza Grossman, assistant fashion editor

3/5

Black Shoes

“I have black footwear in all heights and shapes. Shopping with a trusted friend who will push me in new directions helps me break away from the black habit.”
—Bernadette Morra, editor-in-chief

4/5

Grey Sweatshirt

“I had to put a moratorium on heather grey sweatshirts. So comfortable,
but totally unflattering.”—Caitlin Agnew, assistant editor/research

5/5

Button Down

“I have a cream silk top problem—I can’t stop buying them,
whether in button-up, blouse, sleeveless, boat-neck, T-shirt or tunic form. As a result, I wear a napkin bib at pretty much every meal.”—Rani Sheen, health
editor and acting beauty editor

When you say “Ikea art,” I think of generic, upper-middle-class “art” by the truckload: Warhol portraits, or Breakfast at Tiffany’s stills, or stock-like glossy photography of hothouse flowers. But the Wednesday-night opening of exhibitIKEA, a Toronto pop-up at the corner of King and Peter streets, smashed that perception to bits.

Four Canadian creators were called in to work their particular tricks with IKEA’s wares. Dressmaker populaire David Dixon turned bolts of standard-issue IKEA fabric into sweet frocks. George Whiteside snapped Instagram-style still-lifes of vases and such (not so dissimilar to paintings by B.C.’s Joseph Plaskett). Sculptor/stacker Bruno Billio made a curvilinear tower of alternating black-and-white chairs—a bit ’70s-conceptual, as is the trend, and cool. And the piece de resistance was by one-time enfant terrible, now established art dude Thrush Holmes. He assembled a small wreck of a house out of not only IKEA products but also their packaging, adding his own improv’d scrawls of paint and neon. It reminded me a) of one of the most fun exhibits I’ve seen, “FischGratenMelkStand” in Berlin last summer and b) not to take any of this too seriously. After all, these good artists are only doing what good college students and yupsters do every September: reassemble IKEA’s clean, straightforward, easy-for-everybody goods into something personal.

exhibitIKEA runs through Sunday August 21, 2011.

British fashion magazine Dazed and Confused christened its first iPad-compatible issue the “Iran Issue,” due to Apple’s insisting they censor all nipples. While Apple (understandably) wants to keep its content squeaky clean, the i-empire may need to realize that a European fashion magazine without nudity is like our magazine without shoes.
