Hello, kaleidoscopic prints: Mary Katrantzou is coming to Topshop!

By Ilmie Dharmaratna | February 10th, 2012 | 1:00 pm

Comments

What winter blues? Visions of spring just got a little bit more vibrant with the announcement of the Bay presenting Mary Katrantzou for Topshop this March at their Yorkdale Mall location!

Dare we dream to get our paws on the designer’s signature porcelain bowl-inspired skirts? You bet! The 10-piece spring capsule collection will be reminiscent of the surreal style we saw for fall, while keeping true to the Topshop girl’s aesthetic.  And with prices ranging from $120–630, a Jason Wu for Target–paced shelf clearer is certainly likely.

Party Pics: Derek Blasberg and Leigh Lezark go west for the Vancouver launch of Very Classy

By Randi Bergman | February 6th, 2012 | 1:30 pm

Last Thursday, Vancouver’s classiest held court at The Room for a champagne toast to New York–based writer Derek Blasberg’s latest tome, Very Classy. The boy about town(s) touched down along with gal pal/DJ/model/Chanel ambassador Leigh Lezark (in Chanel, of course) for his first visit to the city—and just in time: it was the first sunny day the west coast had seen in a long time! (Score one for Van weather staying classy long enough to impress.)

After a January hibernation, guests, including our February issue It Girl Manjy Sidoo, seemed eager to dress up, and a long queue formed to shake hands, pose for Instagrams, and book sign. With his signature charm and newly slicked-back hair, the Blas was as Truman Capote 2.0 as ever (but with a nicer disposition… and better clothes).

Dree Hemingway made a collection for Sandro, and it’s coming to the Bay!

By Randi Bergman | January 31st, 2012 | 10:00 am

Well, lookie here! We hadn’t even heard a whisper about this, but apparently our favourite model/literary offspring has been busy. Just in time for Sandro’s New York store opening and U.S. online shop (they ship to Canada, trust us), the awesomely amazing French brand has teamed up with Dree Hemingway to create a distinctly American-feeling 10-piece capsule collection. The collection has easy printed and tie-dyed separates that reference the model’s childhood and “family spirit.” While we don’t exactly get For Whom the Bell Tolls from an ikat blouse, we’d also be referencing the late, great Ernest Hemingway till the cash cows came home if we were his descendants.

Dree Hemingway for Sandro will be available in Canada exclusively at the Bay beginning in March 2012.

Q&A: 5 minutes with Brian Atwood

Q&A: 5 minutes with Brian Atwood

Photography: Atwood by Douglas Friedman

Like Helen of Troy and those ships, model-turned-designer Brian Atwood’s (brianatwood.com) handsomeness alone could move shoe units at The Room. Yet his super-stylish stilettos sell themselves. Thankfully, there’s now more Atwood than ever to go around, with last year’s launch of a second line, B Brian Atwood, and a haute handbag collection.

Who is the Brian Atwood woman?
“Always the most beautiful, sexy woman in the room. I’m not tooting my own horn. That’s just how it happens to go. [The heels] make you feel that—the power of the shoe.”

Is your B Brian Atwood woman any different?
“The B girl is jetset, but she’s funkier, more urban, and there’s ease to it. She doesn’t have $800 for a pump, but why shouldn’t she have a sexy pump?” Read more »

Well, aren’t you in for a treat! Today, we’re exploring the Pierre Hardy bag belonging to bow-tied boy about town and The Room’s creative director, Nicholas Mellamphy. A long-time purveyor of chicness, Mellamphy was the genius behind Yorkville boutique Hazel, and more recently has become one of the key members of the Bay’s new transformation team. You can thank him later for putting the likes of Proenza Schouler, Thakoon, Erdem, Christopher Kane, and Carven together in one room, but in the meantime, let’s snoop!
