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 got an e-mail about a new contest: VIA Rail is asking Canadian designers to re-style the VIA Rail uniform for station and train employees. The winner gets $10,000 in train travel credits. I don’t know if I could spend that much on train travel. Maybe I could take all my fashion friends on [...]

I’ve got like a million e-mails about a ton of sample sales this week. It’s crazy! I’ve never heard of so many sales. Is it because of this recession thing? If everything goes on sale because of a recession, then I’m all for it! I guess I have a ton of old samples hanging around [...]

I also borrowed a killer [...]

I’ve never seen a Rei Kawakubo garment up close, so I had to check out her Comme des Garçons stuff for H&M. She may not be one of my all-time favourite designers since she’s so intellectual and stuff, but she is pretty groundbreaking.
I rolled out of bed around noon and went over to the Bloor [...]

I just realized that Christmas sales are coming up and I haven’t registered for any of them. I need some holiday money and I know that my Dad is going to be harassing me about getting a job again.
I was about to sit down and figure out what sales I should make stuff for, my [...]

I can hardly believe that I delivered all my patterns and fabric to my contractor. Now I just have to sit and wait for samples to get done. What should I do now? Work on PR? Design my next collection? Go out and celebrate?

I spent all weekend sticking sparkles on tulle and now I’m covered in them from head to toe and leave a glitter trail wherever I walk. I kind of like it. Can I make this a permanent look? Are there such things as glitter tattoos?
