Vancouver It girl: Manjy Sidoo

Vancouver it girl: Manjy Sidoo

Editor: Sarah Casselman

Manjy Sidoo’s magnum opus may be motherhood (she has two teenage boys with her hubby David, a former CFL player), but her philanthropic endeavours are a close second. She’s a director at the Sidoo Family Foundation and a board member of the Vancouver Opera (VO), which she joined 10 years ago for the Chanel Gala 2002 fundraiser. Today, she’s a regular participant in VO events (and one of the best-dressed, in her sweeping Oscar de la Renta gowns), such as Purseuasion Designer Bag Auction and Luncheon, and Overture, an onstage dinner she’s co-chairing this year. This intersection of art and fashion inspires her involvement. “Fashion is all around us. It’s hard for me not to have a heightened awareness of my aesthetic surrounding,” she says. “If I see a beautiful dress or antique or piece of art, I have a visceral reaction.”

Available at the Bamboo Ballroom (8206 104 St. NW, Edmonton, 780-439-1363, bambooballroom.ca). Read more »

What’s in your bag, Sarah Casselman?

Comments

Today, we’re unloading the contents of our jetsetting senior fashion news editor, Sarah Casselman‘s bag. Inside her chicer than chic Tiffany tote, you’ll find a smattering of beloved trinkets from jaunts to Paris, New York, Capri, and beyond that all seem to exude the good life. Oh, and an US Weekly thrown in for good measure.

Did you know that Chanel owns a championship racehorse?

And they’re off! From Hermès’ start as a leather saddlery shop to the pageantry of England’s Royal Ascot, horses and high fashion share a long history together. And this weekend the pairing continues with the running of the Breeder’s Cup races in Kentucky. The favourite to win in tomorrow’s Mile race is Goldikova—a championship Thoroughbred who took first place the last three years, and oh, is owned by Chanel. Well, to be correct, she’s property of Wertheimer et Frère, the horse racing stable of brothers Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, who own the French fashion house. Could couture racing silks be next on the runway? Read more »
