It is hard to believe that Comrags is celebrating twenty-five years in business. It feels like it was yesterday when I first saw designers Joyce Gunhouse and Judy Cornish profiled on Fashion Television during the show’s early seasons. Their success showed me that Canadian fashion designers could make it.
Naturally, I stopped by the Comrags store [...]

After hearing about the million sample sales, I decided I definitely should have one. But when? On a weekend? Not next weekend; that’s Buy Nothing Weekend. On a weeknight?

When I arrived home last night, I explained everything to Lady Miss Angora, who was as conflicted as I was about the elegance of the Fashion Mafia and their mandate to destroy the Canadian fashion industry. My little pet bunny rabbit loves luxury as much as I do, so she hopped in delight when she [...]

I was walking down Queen Street, looking for inspiration like I always do, when I ran into PR maven Sonja Andic with Vanja Vasic, Executive Director of Alternative Fashion Week. They were coming from an art exhibit and were looking for somewhere to go when we saw a party happening at MODA, so we stopped [...]

Today I received an invitation to the celebration of Greta Constantine’s second anniversary, but unfortunately I cannot attend due to previous art engagements.
I would like to go and meet the people behind the Canadian Fashion Association and FABRIC Magazine. I received the first issue of FABRIC during L’Oréal Fashion Week and I’ve been hearing rumblings [...]
