Feathers & Fringe Fetish

May 31, 2011 by Lofthouse

“A decorative border or edging of hanging threads, cords, or strips, often attached to a separate band“ Feathers and fringe are IN!  If you don’t have an accessory, or piece of clothing that incorporates  a little feather or fringe- do yourself a favour and go pick one up!  It’s the perfect way to add style to a boring outfit.  For example if you’re wearing oridnary jeans and a t-shirt… adding a fringed scarf, or feathered necklace would be the easiest way […]

Inder Bedi: MATT & NAT

May 18, 2011 by Lofthouse

At the beginning of his designer journey, Inder Bedi describes himself as a “frustrated vegan” student who launched forward a business proposal. And no surprise here; Bedi’s astute business skills and expertise in fashion accessories landed him MATT + NAT, a little Montreal vegan bag collection, nearly fifteen years later. His compilation of purses, bags, and accessories are environmentally friendly, incredibly trendy, and represent a household name known across North America and the U.K. We find proof of this as we […]

Best Dressed: May 16th, 2011

May 17, 2011 by Lofthouse

When you take a first glance at this picture, your eyes immeditely go to the ‘well-known’ celebrity, Blake Lively… though Blake does have fantastic fashion sense, this weeks best dressed is not given to her, but to her gal-pal Clémence Poésy standing beside her! Clémence Poésy, the very talented French actress and supermodel looks radient and ravishing in this tweed like Chanel dress paired with Yves Saint Laurent  shoes.  I might have opted for a spray tan to have a bit more of a contrast between […]

Best Dressed: May 2nd & 9th, 2011

May 10, 2011 by Lofthouse

Two weeks in a row, Ms. Karolina Kurkova (former Victoria Secret Angel) blew us away with her two extremely different looks.  The two different looks showed versatility in her fashion sense.  Her first look was very casual yet sophisticated.  She wore a black silk boyfriend blazer with a sheer white blouse that was loosely tucked into cropped army-green capri’s, finished off with a black heels & clutch.  On this particular evening Karolina was at the premiere of The Bang Bang Club  at the Tribeca […]

Local to the max.

May 9, 2011 by Lofthouse

  Last week I had the pleasure of helping pull looks that would end up clothing Saint Kris for his Winnipeg inspired photo shoot with local photographer ‘Khammy’.  The boutique that supplied the threads for the shoot was a local shop, Urban Bakery.  It was my first time at this particular boutique, and it won’t be the last!  Such a well laid out store with some fabulous merchandise, specializing in urban street wear.  My favourite piece was the Good Wood nautical […]

Manitoba Men.

May 4, 2011 by Lofthouse

I remember having a conversation with a salesperson at the wonderful Winnipeg boutique Danali.  He was mentioning visiting New York city, and seeing so many bold trends that us Winnipeggers might not be so brave to wear (right off the hop).   Most Winnipeg trendsetters like to play it safe (sometimes) and make sure that a trend will be sticking around before proudly wearing it.  One of these trends he had mentioned was the rolled up cuffs on mens jeans or pants, paired with an Oxford shoe, or […]

Punk.

May 3, 2011 by Lofthouse

Another ‘trend’ thats been here and there on the 2011 runway is “PUNK”.  The word punk isn’t something a lot of people are looking to incorporate in their wardrobe or style– thats why I’m going to suggest a PINCH OF PUNK, much less intimdating and you don’t feel like your trying to make a serious fashion or wordly statement.  For someone like myself who likes to dabble in every trend and style- not just keeping to one specifically this ‘pinch of punk’ […]

MUSE by Christian Chenail

May 2, 2011 by Lofthouse

The Canadian clothing brand “Muse” is notorious for its structure on the runway. Lucky for me, I was granted the opportunity to converse with Mr. Christian Chenail about his exquisite clothing designs for “Muse” and the iconic Canadian fashion name it has made for itself in Canada.  It is very clear that ”CUT” is the main objective of Christian’s work, and by “cut” I mean the architecture of how the garment fits women.  Chenail remarks,  “The main object of my reflexion on my work is cut, […]
