TIFF red carpet: Olivia Newton-John, Nelly Furtado and newcomer Allie MacDonald at the premiere of Score: A Hockey Musical

The Toronto International Film Festival opened last night with a decidedly Canadian theme. The gala screening was for Score: A Hockey Musical, so a fully Canuck band of celebs were in attendance–George Strombolopolous, who played a hockey announcer, Nelly Furtado, who yelled from the stands as a streak-haired puck bunny and Walter Gretzky, who played himself in a vision. Aussie Olivia Newton-John plays a hockey mom in the film, and made an appearance at the premiere, as did young stars Noah Reid and Allie MacDonald (styled by our own Caitlan Moneta), who was wearing a navy Greta Constantine frock, Aldo shoes and a mega-carat necklace of raw Ontario diamonds from Birks. (The clutch isn’t Canadian–it’s by New York designer Ted Rossi, but the studs make it okay.)

Vancouver: A very furry take on the hockey jersey

Rebecca Tay models the Fursey (fur + jersey!)

No sane Canadian would deny that hockey is our game and I’ve gotta say that The Fursey (thefursey.com) is probably the most appropriate (albeit non-official) piece of merchandise I’ve seen so far. They’re produced by an American company who can take any jersey (even a Canadian red and white one, of course) and add a furry lining to make a Nanook of the North-meets-Olympic pride statement. Prices vary, and they’re only available in Vancouver until the games close on Sunday. I can’t think of a better way to cheer on the boys when they (fingers crossed) make it to the gold medal game.

The daily steal: Patriotic rain boots, $80

5 Comments

Among the plethora of Olympic-inspired hoodies, T-shirts, hats and parkas, we have seen very little in the way of footwear. If you’re on the hunt for something to wear while you stomp in the stands at today’s Canada vs. Germany game, these limited edition maple leaf–emblazoned rain boots from Rockport ($80, at Ronsons locations in Vancouver, ronsons.ca, and the Yonge Street, Toronto Eaton Centre and Carrefour Laval Rockport stores) are a good score.

Jordan Singer, 32, is the president of menswear mini empire Henry Singer Fashion Group [read our profile] and Alberta’s very own man of style. He chats to Dolly Magee about hockey, gelato and his own fashion crimes.

The burning question on everyone’s mind…Edmonton Oilers or Calgary Flames?
“Oilers all the way! I grew up in Edmonton in the ’80s–need I say more?”

Describe your personal style.
“My personal style is always evolving, but one thing that never seems to change is my love for understated modern essentials.”

If you weren’t involved with fashion what would you be doing?
“I fell in love with the industry at such a young age. I can’t see myself doing anything else.” Read more »
