We love art/fashion collaborations, especially when they’re super-affordable. Meet blogger/illustrator Danny Roberts, the brains and beauty behind Igor + André.  Inspired by his fellow bloggers, he began a series of portraits which Forever 21 has since scooped up and turned into this killer line of graphic T’s. We love this one ($18, Forever 21) of […]

Toronto designer Ashley Rowe has collaborated with a five local style personalities on a handful of get-em-until-they’re-gone T-shirts. The collaborators, including fashion writer Sarah Nicole Prickett and Bras and Ranties blogger Jen Newton, provided Rowe with the inspiration and the designer went to work, splattering–and apparently baking–the tops. Rowe specializes in high-quality wardrobe staples, so […]

I’ve been picking up patriotic souvenirs all over the place, but I’ve started thinking that it might be a better strategy going forward (now that the Games are almost over…I’m shedding a tear here) to focus on items that I’ll still want to wear after March (and yes, before the 2012 Olympics in London). Here, the first of my Canadian-but-not-too-Canadian souvenirs that I’m betting will survive longer than my red mittens:

You know, it’s not very often we get any worldwide exclusives up north of the 49th, but Marc Jacobs has thrown us a bone with this adorable Marc by Marc Jacobs winter sports tee. (Is he getting into the Olympic spirit?) The T-shirt ($65) is 100 per cent exclusive to Holt Renfrew and it’s limited […]

Fashion Week always requires a wardrobe strategy–dress, heels, statement something or other–but at some point, sore feet or simple exhaustion will win and you will pull out your flat boots and jeans. For that day, we like this set of LOL fashion tees ($25 each, castorreigns.com) from Castor Reigns, a newly launched Toronto design company. […]

Our fashion department has interns so bang-on stylish, they make Whitney Port look like an American Eagle greeter. One of these is my lovely friend Sarah Kosloff, who’s spent the last four months toiling behind the magic of editorial shoots. Though her days here are numbered, her talents are not. So, on Sarah Kosloff’s final day as a FASHION intern, I’d like to reveal one of her recent creative endeavours—a series of images she created for Show|OFF at UPC Boutique (128 1/2 Cumberland St., 416-929-9209, upcboutique.com).

When we caught wind of an affordable Marc Jacobs capsule collection coming down the pike, our first email was to Holt Renfrew to see if it was coming north of the border and…it is!

When Stuart Murdoch, the sad singing Scotsman best known for fronting Belle and Sebastian, met his wife, he left her Breathless.

Says the New York Times Magazine: “As a courtship present, Murdoch made her a replica of the New York Herald Tribune T-shirt Seberg wore in the opening shot of Breathless.”

Cute, right? But then: “‘I may have also done that for an earlier girlfriend,’ Murdoch admitted sheepishly.”

Ah yes. How appropriate. Like Murdoch’s women, all fashionable lovers of French New Wave know the delight of discovering a genre made exactly, exquisitely, for them—the super-chic haircuts, the striped shirts and plaid minis, the smoky-eyed (and forever smoking) gamines—only to realize they’re just the latest suckers for the lovely clichés of Parisian art-house cinema.

But don’t let that stop you from falling: this summer, the Cinematheque at the AGO is screening gorgeous pics by Godard and his precocious coterie of peers.

Holt Renfrew is teaming up with California prepster-nouveau label Modern Amusement (modernamusement.com) for a little T-shirt design contest. It goes like this: You design a men’s or women’s tee (with logo, of course), Holts picks the top 30, the voting public picks the top 3 and Modern Amusement picks the winner, who wins a trip to […]

Even though it’s a season late, we desperately need this YSL-inspired tee from our favourite teenaged fashion blogger. [Style Rookie]

Giorgio Armani on our second favourite topic: pasta. “On Saturday night, I went to dinner at an Italian restaurant called Scarpetta with my niece Roberta and a small group of my close Italian friends. […] I ate spaghetti con pomodoro and basilico — and, here, I must interject something for your benefit. Americans overcook their pasta. Always. And there’s too much sauce. Too much of everything! Please, try to control yourselves.” [NYTimes]
