For the uninitiated, Bunz Trading Zone is a Facebook group – now an app – where the denizens of Toronto barter their unwanted goods, from couches to leftover pizza, in a slightly-more-commonplace version of the paperclip experiment. (In 2006, a guy bartered his way from a red paper clip to a house in Saskatchewan.) The unofficial […]

It’s ironic that Preloved, the country’s OG upcycled-clothing brand, had a waste problem. But that’s what happened when one of its best clients had a “No red” clause written into its processing-order agreement. After more than 21 years of sorting through bundles of sweaters at its office and factory in Toronto’s east end, the company […]

Carine Roitfeld is an icon. When you’re at a fashion show, the crowd parts as she walks by and the flashbulb frenzy is never far behind. Her sexy sense of style is so recognizable, you could pick her out of a street style line up in 3 seconds flat. For her new collaboration with Japanese […]

Since news broke that Hollywood’s long-term bachelor George Clooney was off the market back in 2014, you bet the whole world glued their eyes to Amal Clooney (née Alamuddin), the woman who got him to finally settle down.

Gigi Hadid’s been on our fashion radar since the age of 2 when she first started modelling for Baby Guess. Since then, she’s transformed from an all-American girl to a true force to be reckoned with. As a child, Hadid’s style reflected her sporty personality and laid-back SoCal lifestyle. Think equestrian Malibu Barbie with better […]

Right now, as Canadians, it’s difficult to think of anything but winter. Thankfully there is at least one among us who has his sights firmly set on the warmer months ahead. Toronto-based designer Matthew Gallagher has just released a colourful look-book for his Spring 2014 collection, and the tropical vibes have us day dreaming the snow away.

The playful campaign and accompanying video, produced by The Collections, Toronto Fashion Week cool kid organizing body, features plenty of bold retro silhouettes done in an array of tropical prints and hues. Gallagher’s peekaboo pink lining, intricate tailoring and thoughtful detailing are just some of the reasons we’re placing the designer on our list of ones to watch. The entire collection is a throwback to glamorous heyday of Hollywood and Palm Springs—those sky-high beehives and headscarves would be perfectly at home speeding along the Pacific Coast Highway in a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado, with a dashing beau in the seat next to us… but we digress.

Each Friday, we’ll be profiling one of our favourite movers and shakers on social media. From the pop-up power of Pinterest to the beautifully crafted images on Instagram, we’re learning the tricks of the trade from the ladies that do it best (and most stylishly, of course).

On her blog, Lisa Dengler describes herself as “just another girl in just another blogging world.” We beg to differ. The Toronto-based, full time architecture student has a notably strong presence on just about every social media platform imaginable, namely her LookBook page, which boasts a cool 14,500+ fans. A fashion fanatic, Dengler cites LookBook as a great way to connect with people who have the same interests as you. “I loved the idea of everyday people inspiring other everyday people,” she says.

With 315 outfits to date on her LookBook page, Lisa Dengler tributes the personal style photography site as the source of various brand collaborations she’s had the fortune of working on. She also credits the social media platform with inspiring her to start her own fashion blog, adding “it’s been a wonderful ride ever since”. Although Dengler’s other commitments, of the academic and fashion-blogger sort, take up much of her time, she still tries to post around 6 outfits a week on her LookBook page. You have to wonder: when does she sleep?
