Judging from his stunning collection of sterling silver, 18-karat gold and semi-precious gemstone pieces, it’s no surprise that former Calgarian, Toronto-based jewellery designer Dean Davidson (deandavidson.ca) has found fans in editors, stylists and Hollywood A-listers like Jennifer Hudson. His clean, sophisticated style and trademark brushed finish have continued to dazzle customers since his brand’s 2007 launch. 

Graphic patterns and colourful brights evoke a playful ’60s vibe.

Need a new pair of blues? 7 For All Mankind (7forallmankind.com), the Los Angeles–based premium denim/lifestyle brand, has opened its first retail store in Toronto at the Yorkdale Shopping Centre (3401 Dufferin St., 416-789-3261, yorkdale.com). Boasting an impressive denim selection (this fall it’s all about the return of flared jeans), this store also carries 7’s sportswear, accessories and debut children’s collection.

Prominent on the prêt-à-porter runways—from Dries Van Noten to Etro—prints show no sign of fading into the background. Whether you mix them from top to toe or keep it tame with just a splash, make sure to add a cashmere scarf from New York–based We Are Owls (weareowls.com). Designer Ling Chen’s circus-inspired fall collection features all the unusual suspects—snake charmers, ring masters and even Houdini ($280, at Lynnsteven Boutique, 225 Carrall St., 604-899-0808, lynnsteven.com).

From footwear to outerwear, these engaging Canadian fashion ventures are keeping it in the family.

After launching a website that merged art and fashion, Oak + Fort (10416-82 Ave. Edmonton, 780-758-9199, oakandfort.com) decided to spread its wings, opening a second boutique (the original flagship is located in Vancouver) this past spring. With an emphasis on modern pieces that boast clean lines, the store’s well-edited selection calls for a fashion-forward customer. We like the chiffon capelet blouse ($120); its stand-up collar and exaggerated side panels are perfect for shaking up a tried-and-true suit.

Don’t act so surprised. You know there’s a little bad girl hiding under that good girl façade. So let her come out and play.

A glossy, black cherry mouth. Buffed fingertips. Strokes of liner and spiked lashes. Crimson lips and nails. Fall’s beauty messages are a collision of prim and perverse. You have your instructions. Now be a good girl and follow them.
