November 2011: Letter from the editor
Westons, Mimrans, Budman and Green. There are some Canadian fashion families that are so well documented, their faces are as familiar as Brad’s and Angelina’s. It’s not that we don’t revere these brilliant style mavericks for putting Holt Renfrew, Club Monaco, Joe Fresh and Roots on the map, but in this issue, we wanted to turn the spotlight on some Canadian fashion families you may not be as familiar with. We always assumed there was a Laura, for whom the chain is named, but we didn’t realize she opened shop in 1930. The story of how 100 Jacob stores were born out of a dream is an inspiration. And how marvellous that the Cherry family passed their knowledge of retail down like a precious heirloom to Barry and Deena Weinberg, who run the Max Mara flagship in Toronto.

FASHION plates: Summer camp style
The daily grind of summer city life, staring longingly out the window from our overly air-conditioned cubicles, has us beat. We want to be young again, we want to roll up our sleeping bag, pack up our trunk and head north for a summer filled with early morning polar bear swims, roasting marshmallows, weaving friendship bracelets and crushing on cute counselors. Alas, we’re not 15 anymore, but with a cottage invite (or a backyard lean-to if you’re desperate), weekends can be all about bringing back those dog days spent by the dock, complete with bikinis, plaid button-downs and maybe, if you’re lucky, even a summer crush…or two.

Fashion news: Coco’s wedding pic, Roots gets electric with Douglas Coupland, and a Canuck model apparently ruins a World Cup match
An image of Coco Rocha‘s recent wedding to James Conran has surfaced. The bride looks stunning in a custom Zac Posen dress, which BFF Behati Prinsloo described as “It was tight over her body all the way to her knees, then it had this extreme mermaid tail at the bottom. The straps were off the shoulder, and the material looked vintage – it’s sort of hard to explain, you have to see it.” [Huffington Post]
Writer and designer Douglas Coupland is adding fashion designer to his already impressive resume. Roots has decided to expand their Canadiana by featuring a limited edition collection of pieces designed by Mr. Coupland. Dubbed Canada Goes Electric, the line includes T-shirts with TV test pattern bars and pixelated maple leaves that are sure to bring out your inner Microserf when they go on sale July 8.
