Growing up in the 2000s, I received my fashion education almost exclusively from TLC’s hit show, What Not to Wear. Running from 2003 to 2013, the makeover series was hugely influential thanks to its always-chic, brutally blunt hosts: stylists Stacy London and Clinton Kelly. Each episode spotlighted one contestant — usually a woman — who […]

Bretman Rock’s sense of style is quite simple: he doesn’t have one. Sure, the social media phenomenon attends runway shows, walks red carpets and appears on the cover of magazines. But when it comes down to it, his taste in fashion, like pretty much every other part of his identity, is impossible to categorize. And […]

In many ways, designers are signalling the dawn of a new age. Dopamine dressing, the metaverse, gender fluid clothing and other trends have liberated fashion from its stuffy traditions. But the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has turned back the clock to a time when few people had such bodily autonomy. The U.S. Supreme Court […]

You could say I was boy crazy when I was young. I’d toddle around the house, as my father recalls, constantly demanding “George! George! Play George, daddy, play George!” From the tender age of one — when repetition is de rigueur for a child’s development, so I’ve read — I had eyes and ears for […]

In the seven years I’ve lived in Toronto, I’ve managed to stuff 74 pairs of shoes into my tiny shoebox apartment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, I’ve only worn two: comfy grey Allbirds sneakers and a scuffed pair of No. 6 clogs that I kick on and off every time I need to pop downstairs […]

It’s interesting that what entices us about the fashion world is constant change and innovation, yet most of the industry’s heavyweights—the same ones we look to for street style inspo—don’t subscribe. Instead of owning a look that’s ever-changing, they stick to what they know and love, a.k.a. their personal uniform. Think Anna Wintour and her […]

Runways and red carpets have already proved that metallics are not just for the holiday season. Still, walking around in the daytime in a shimmery piece can be daunting. (Who wants to look like a disco ball?) While looking to Michael Kors, Dolce & Gabbana and Lanvin’s Fall 2016 collections are good places to get […]

Chances are, if you’re a fan of high fashion, you’re a fan of Soo Joo Park. Appearances in publications like CR Fashion Book and Vogue Korea, along with runway stints for heavy hitters such as Tom Ford, Just Cavalli, and Chanel (where she memorably opened the 2016 Cruise Show) have made her a household name […]

In 2012, I was poor. And not a over-romanticized, freewheeling, not-poor-at-all kind of poor: thanks to a series of horrible decisions (and story that defines “it’s a long one”), I’d found myself tens of thousands of dollars in debt and moving back home because I couldn’t afford to pay rent anymore. It was bleak. I’ve […]
