Smythe and eLUXE have just teamed up to create the epitome of a chic LBJ (little black jacket, for those of you not in the know); what’s more, the femme-meets-tailored blazer will be available exclusively to Canada.
Come September, you can get your hands on the Canadian label’s covetable tuxedo-style wool blazer on eLUXE for $595, which is actually a steal if you consider cost per wear. With its slim fit, strong shoulders and gold hardware, you can make like Kate Middleton (who’s without a doubt the most famous of Smythe’s devotees) and work the chic, strong piece into your fall looks time and time again.

Fashion Television (RIP) was ahead of its time in several ways, and here is one of them: In 1985, when executive producer Jay Levine launched the program, he imagined it might become a channel for short narrative videos about clothing. Fashion films, now so inescapable a phenomenon, were then just a thought without a name: if music videos could revolutionize the way we consume pop, couldn’t a little cinematography do the same for clothing? The ’70s had seen then-living legends Guy Bourdin and Richard Avedon experiment with the moving image, and as film-recording cameras became less expensive, it seemed likely they’d land in the hands of younger, emerging lensmen.

While completing her MBA, this Toronto-based designer conceived the idea of redefining fit in the eyewear market (think non-slip frames and indent-free cheeks). Her debut collection of Kaytran Eyewear (kaytran.com) features 20 reinvented classics.
What inspired you to launch an eyewear brand?
“I had been looking for years for eyewear that fit my Asian facial structure—I have a smaller nose bridge. I decided to design a collection that would offer a different fit. There are endless options for jeans to suit [various] body types—why should eyewear be any different?” Read more »
