The Weekend To Do: We’re hitting up Toronto’s new Monocle outpost, catching A$AP Rocky in Vancouver and screening the new Diana Vreeland documentary
With FASHION’s 35th Anniversary blow-out party behind us and Toronto Fashion Week ahead of us, we’re going to be indulging in a lot of R&R this weekend, with an emphasis on beauty sleep. Take it easy peasy with a trip to the Art Gallery of Ontario, a shopping trip to Monocle and a documentary about Diana Vreeland.
Cat Power
The greatest Cat Power takes the stage in Montreal and Toronto this weekend in support of her new album, Sun. Big question: Will Iggy Pop make a guest appearance for “Nothin but Time”?

A$AP Rocky
After being denied entry to the country for his shows in Montreal and Toronto earlier this month, A$AP Rocky is scheduled to perform Saturday in Vancouver. Here’s hoping there won’t be a little bit of history repeating.

Monocle Shop
Toronto joins London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York and Osaka this weekend with its own Monocle shop. Located in Little Italy, the store carries the British mag’s full range of products. Our top pick for this cold fall weekend is the Monocle x Comme des Garçons Hinoki Candle.

Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics and Painting
Opening this Saturday at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Frida & Diego goes beyond the works of Mexico’s most famous artists to explore their lives together through 60 photographs. This new exhibition of 80 paintings and drawings provides a new perspective on how their work reflects both their personal drama (immortalized in celluloid by Salma Hayek in 2002’s Frida) and their devotion to the values of post-revolutionary Mexico.
