Here’s All the Fashion News You Missed This Week

Meet the Makers: Christopher Paunil

Label: CHRISTOPHER PAUNIL Designer Name(s): Christopher Paunil Hometown: Scarborough, Ontario Zodiac sign: Libra Year you created your label: 2010   Describe your label in three words Modern, romantic, refined. What made you first want to be a designer? I used to watch my grandmother sew for herself when I was young. I remember watching Fashion Television and falling in love with how diverse fashion was even in the 90’s with all the colours, fabrics, and how each designer was like a fingerprint – unique and their own. I then fell in love with bridal as I worked for a bridal designer and thought I could do this for myself with my own twist and take on the ever-changing world of bridal. Our evening collection is really more glamorous, sexy, and a fun expression of my design. When you decided to become designer, what is one thing you had no idea you’d have to do? I think everyone sees the client-facing side of fashion: the fast-paced, glamorous side. I really didn’t k...

Meet the Makers: Tara Rivas

Label:  Tara Rivas Designer Name(s):  Tara Rivas Hometown:  Toronto, ON Zodiac sign:  Gemini Year you created your label:  2015   Describe your label in three words Timeless, versatile and empowering. What made you first want to be a designer?  I constantly used to “edit” clothes and have them altered to my taste. While in university, I designed my own clothes for special events and fell in love with the process from start to finish. Drawing a sketch and seeing the fabric come to life was an exhilarating experience.   When you decided to become a designer, what is one thing you had no idea you’d have to do?  I underestimated how much time I would spend on Excel working with numbers. If you could have anyone in the world wear your collection, who would it be? Rosie Huntington-Whiteley or Celine Dion . What is one place or location that inspires you? Anywhere in Europe, specifically the Amalfi Coast, Fr...

We Talk With The Costume Designer Behind the Clothes on To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before

Image
Netflix’s summer feel-good teenager rom-com,  To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before  (aka my new favourite movie), taps into a mortifying teenagers’ nightmare: having your secret love letters mysteriously delivered to their recipients. (Yes, more than one recipient.) It’s like a teenage version of drunk texting your Tinder date, then having to face them the next day. Lara Jean Covey (played by Lana Condor) finds herself in this particularly cringe-worthy predicament when five boys – including the school’s most popular guy, as well as her older sister’s ex-boyfriend, receive her Shakespeare-worthy love letters. Lana Condor as Lara Jean Covey in To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before Based on Jenny Han’s young adult fiction novel (young adult means it’s okay I enjoyed it, right?), the movie depicts complex characters that feel real, that are easy to connect with and that you actually want to be friends with. Plus, their wardrobes are a perfect blend of inspirational, but relatable, ...

ICYMI: Science Says Alcohol is Bad, Cheese is Good

According to a new study, no amount of liquor, wine or beer is good for you. So much for that whole ‘a glass of red wine a day’ thing. According to the study, published last week in medical journal The Lancet, alcohol was the leading risk factor for disease and premature death in men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide in 2016. The team behind the report culled data from nearly 700 global studies that examined the consumption of alcohol in various countries, studying how it contributes to a variety of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, tuberculosis and diabetes. It also, of course, factored in things like drunk-driving accidents and drug use, both of which increase the likelihood of health risks and premature deaths. “The most surprising finding was that even small amounts of alcohol use contribute to health loss globally,” senior study author Emmanuela Gakidou, a professor at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, told CNN . ...

Go Behind the Scenes of Re\Set’s Toronto Fashion Week Ad Campaign—Shot At the ROM!

Image
We recently had the chance to hang out on the set of Toronto’s Re/Set  ad campaign for the upcoming Toronto Fashion Week shows, which kick off on Tuesday September 4th and last until the 6th. Shot at the ROM by Maya Fuhr , the location was chosen to communicate a particular message. “Canada currently doesn’t recognize fashion as an art form, so we wanted to place our designers within an artistic institution, to show that fashion does belong in a museum,” says Dwayne Kennedy , fashion director of the Collections, who launched Re/Set last year. “The ROM itself actually has the third largest collection of textiles in the world so we thought it was a perfect fit for this shoot,” he says. Starring Canadian 90s model Kirsten Owen , each shot was set in five various locations throughout the museum with Owen wearing pieces from the designers who are showing. “We wanted each one to have a bit of a personality so we matched it up in terms of fashion and spaces that way,” says Kennedy.

Meet the Makers: Alex S. Yu

Label:  ALEX S. YU Designer Name(s):  Alex S. Yu   Hometown:  Born in Taipei, Taiwan, raised in Vancouver, BC Zodiac sign:  Aquarius Year you created your label:  2014   Describe your label in three words Whimsical, chromatic, girly-vibes. What made you first want to be a designer? Flipping through fashion magazines at a young age introduced me to the world of fashion and the beauty of the art of fashion. By secondary school, I was on the Internet all day and night obsessing over fashion shows, models and anything to do with the industry. I was extremely fascinated by the idea that a fashion designer can turn mere imagination and illustration into a line of tangible garments that people could put on their bodies. So it became my ultimate goal to become a fashion designer.    When you decided to become designer, what is one thing you had no idea you’d have to do? The one thing that I had no idea I’d have to do would be the day-to-d...

Cate Blanchett Makes an Impassioned Plea to the UN on Behalf of Rohingya Refugees

Image
Last August, we all watched in horror as our TV screens and Twitter feeds began to overflow with images and videos of a violent ethnic cleansing underway in Myanmar. Since then , more than 700,000 men, women and children belonging to the minority Rohingya community of Muslims have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety, most seeking refuge in neighbouring Bangladesh. We shared articles, we donated money, we tweeted our outrage. And then as with all things, we moved on—to newer grievances and fresher injustices, driven on by the relentless push of the news cycle. But the crisis rages on, and no one has yet been held accountable. A new UN Human Rights Council report released Monday concluded that Myanmar troops have “committed what amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity.” The human rights violations noted in the report include “killing indiscriminately, gang-raping women, assaulting children, and burning entire villages.” As a UN Refugee Agency goodwill ambass...
