REDUCE – REUSE – RELOVE – Pt. One

The Fashion Merchandising program at Fanshawe is putting on a fashion show in November themed “Reduce-Reuse-ReLOVE”.  The show will be featuring articles of clothing donated by the Good-Will Industries.  In turn we as merchandising students will be re-vamping our second-hand looks for the runway.  The fashion show will be raising money and awareness towards “My Sister’s Place” and of course, Good Will.  If you’re in the London area on November 16th, be sure to snag some tickets to this fabulous, […]

Bata Shoe Museum

October 21, 2011 by Lofthouse

On a recent visit to downtown Toronto, my morning was spent at the Bata Shoe Museum where I got to experience different footwear over the past 4500 years! Not only did I get to view these historic shoes, I also increased my knowledge in regards to the evolution of the shoes, their uses over time, and the method and materials used to create!   I especially enjoyed viewing a pair of Manolo Blahnik’s  Sarah Jessica Parker wore in Sex and […]

Fashion on Queen [toronto]

October 19, 2011 by Lofthouse

A couple babes- keeping warm in their black beanies. Keeping it ‘green’ on this fantastic retro bicycle. A city couple keeping it real. Style report… what did I observe from this trip downtown?  Street style is loving combat boots!  If you don’t already have a pair- pick some up from Aldo for $140.00.

sleeping with the enemy: coco chanel’s secret war.

October 16, 2011 by Lofthouse

It’s a rare occasion that I find a book that truly intrigues me enough to order it online and dive into right away, the UPS man couldn’t hand it over quick enough! Sleeping With the Enemy: Coco Chanel’s Secret War was recommended to me by my visual merchandising professor during one of her lectures.  My teachers brief description of the book had me frantically trying to find a paper and pen to write the name of the book down.  As […]
