We want: Ashley Rowe’s splattered tees

Comments

Toronto designer Ashley Rowe has collaborated with a five local style personalities on a handful of get-em-until-they’re-gone T-shirts. The collaborators, including fashion writer Sarah Nicole Prickett and Bras and Ranties blogger Jen Newton, provided Rowe with the inspiration and the designer went to work, splattering–and apparently baking–the tops. Rowe specializes in high-quality wardrobe staples, so these aren’t American Apparel blanks, but whisper-thin cotton pieces. Three styles are done with a scoop back, while the other two styles–the Cyzon and the Prickett–feature tux-inspired tails. The tees sell for $125 on ashleyrowe.com and the designer is offering FASHION readers 10 per cent off (just enter FASHION when you check out).

Vancouver: Some (subtly) patriotic souveniers to bring home from Olympics

3 Comments

I’ve been picking up patriotic souvenirs all over the place, but I’ve started thinking that it might be a better strategy going forward (now that the Games are almost over…I’m shedding a tear here) to focus on items that I’ll still want to wear after March (and yes, before the 2012 Olympics in London). Here, the first of my Canadian-but-not-too-Canadian souvenirs that I’m betting will survive longer than my red mittens: Read more »

You know, it’s not very often we get any worldwide exclusives up north of the 49th, but Marc Jacobs has thrown us a bone with this adorable Marc by Marc Jacobs winter sports tee. (Is he getting into the Olympic spirit?) The T-shirt ($65) is 100 per cent exclusive to Holt Renfrew and it’s limited edition–i.e. get ‘em before they’re gone.

Castor Reigns brings the lulz for fashion week

Comments

Fashion Week always requires a wardrobe strategy–dress, heels, statement something or other–but at some point, sore feet or simple exhaustion will win and you will pull out your flat boots and jeans. For that day, we like this set of LOL fashion tees ($25 each, castorreigns.com) from Castor Reigns, a newly launched Toronto design company. So far, the T-shirts are their only offering, but the company plans to offer handmade, limited edition wardrobe pieces in the near future.

An ode to the shredded tee

Our fashion department has interns so bang-on stylish, they make Whitney Port look like an American Eagle greeter. One of these is my lovely friend Sarah Kosloff, who’s spent the last four months toiling behind the magic of editorial shoots. Though her days here are numbered, her talents are not. So, on Sarah Kosloff’s final day as a FASHION intern, I’d like to reveal one of her recent creative endeavours—a series of images she created for Show|OFF at UPC Boutique (128 1/2 Cumberland St., 416-929-9209, upcboutique.com).

The French New Wave spends July at Cinematheque Ontario

Jean Seberg in Jean-Luc Godard's <em>Breathless</em>

Jean Seberg in Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless

When Stuart Murdoch, the sad singing Scotsman best known for fronting Belle and Sebastian, met his wife, he left her Breathless.

Says the New York Times Magazine: “As a courtship present, Murdoch made her a replica of the New York Herald Tribune T-shirt Seberg wore in the opening shot of Breathless.”

Cute, right? But then: “‘I may have also done that for an earlier girlfriend,’ Murdoch admitted sheepishly.”

Ah yes. How appropriate. Like Murdoch’s women, all fashionable lovers of French New Wave know the delight of discovering a genre made exactly, exquisitely, for them—the super-chic haircuts, the striped shirts and plaid minis, the smoky-eyed (and forever smoking) gamines—only to realize they’re just the latest suckers for the lovely clichés of Parisian art-house cinema.

But don’t let that stop you from falling: this summer, the Cinematheque at the AGO is screening gorgeous pics by Godard and his precocious coterie of peers. Read more »
