The glamorous model who delivered it Friday evening whispered in my ear, “Be at the AMC Tuesday afternoon for the 3:35 screening of ‘Bride Wars’ to pick up a package. Be discreet and bring your designer handgun. You never know when the Fashion Police might show up.”
“Fashion [...]

I do believe I discovered Toronto’s best-kept fashion design secret today.
Rosemarie Umetsu invited me to her elegant Avenue Road studio, where I was treated like the queen I was born to be. We wined, dined, discussed design, and determined my next wardrobe necessities.
Ms. Umetsu outfits the Canadian arts and culture A-list, so it was only [...]

Of course Basher would choose a restaurant called “bite me“. I do believe he expected a Hooters-type place with his favourite Buffalo Wing meal, but exceptional chef Marc Thuet gave him a happy surprise. With a focus on local ingredients, chef Thuet excelled at heightening our tastebuds to an haute Canadian level.
During our fabulous dessert [...]

All right.
I’ve got to get out of vacation mode and into work mode. I have to do a million things:

Check on my collection at the contractor (I hope it’s going okay. I’m kinda nervous).
Get Spring/Summmer to Mariette at Bye!
Ship collection to Sully in New York.
Complete Fall/Winter 09 samples.
Organize a lookbook shoot and layout.
Think about where [...]
