Sophisticated City by Lucinda McRuvy

May 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I have a problem, Dear Readers. I am in the middle of the dreaded Fashion Feud.
This is something that has been brewing for some time now, but the boiling point seems near, so I feel compelled to address it. Airing dirty laundry in a public forum is not my suggested way of solving a problem […]

Go! Doors Open Toronto

May 24th, 2008 · No Comments

I had such a great day! I took time off from making armbands because they’re kind of driving me batty. And because today was Doors Open Toronto. It’s such a cool way to see the city because it’s an entire weekend where some of Toronto’s coolest buildings are open to the public.
I started at the […]

Ottawa Fashion Week

May 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

Just heard that Ottawa is having its first fashion week. How cool is that? I love that there are a bunch of fashion weeks happening all over Canada. It’s kind of too bad that all Canadian designers can’t show in one place, but it’s a big country. How could I not know about so many […]

Editor Apology

May 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

My Cannes assignment editor called to apologize for putting my life and my bunny in jeopardy. She proposed that I write an article on Fashion Feuds. I’ll have to think on that because I don’t want to make this one worse.

Power Plant Power Ball

May 22nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

I simply adore attending the annual PowerBall gala fundraiser for the Power Plant Gallery. With promotions for this year’s Decadence-themed party showing the downside to an evening out, I expected everyone to take the theme literally.
Happily, most people behaved and Toronto’s crème-de-la-contemporary art crowd had a chance to catch up and show off their best […]

Imago Show: Bedtime Stories at CiRCA

May 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

I couldn’t wait to get dressed up and show off my latest creation at CiRCA tonight at the Imago Zine show.
With a Bedtime Stories theme in mind, I was lucky to find an Alice in Wonderland Costume at Value Village, but had to make it me. The first thing I did was rip off collar […]

Cannes Return

May 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment

All day I received abusive phone calls and text telling me to leave Cannes. I told my editor, who confessed that Fiona was the reporter who I replaced. Obviously she’s not taking that well and the last thing I need is to her to go completely nuts and kill my rabbit (I know she’d do […]

I’ve Got It!

May 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Since my armbands were such a hit at the Clothing Show, I should make more and sell them on Queen Street! I wonder if a person can become a millionaire from making armbands…

The Perfect Job?

May 20th, 2008 · No Comments

In light of constant parental harassment, I’ve been on the job hunt and may have finally found something cool and inspiring: The Design Exchange holds summer design camps and they program one for fashion! It would be so cool to teach kids how to design and sew! I could really get into that! I’m going […]

Still in Cannes

May 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Relief! Bunny-Keeper assured me of Lady Miss Angora’s safety. The hotel assured me of my own safety.
I’m glad I decided to stay because I ran into Milla Jovovich today, a true style icon and talented woman. We’ve known each other for years and I was so proud when she and Carmen Hawk launched Jovovich-Hawk in […]
