Back to Halston, who must be turning in his grave again. Halston was everything. He made American style a reality, gave the word chic new meaning, represented everything fabulous about New York City and reigned over the inner circle of the fashion industry. Does Halstons legacy need to be besmirched by people who may truly love fashion, but whose place on Earth is better suited doing what they do best? Sarah is a brilliant actress and Harvey an even more brilliant filmmaker, promoter, marketer. Weinstein needs to be in the fashion industry like I am going to the moon.

Start your weekend off steamy by checking out the new video by sexy Canadian electro-pop couple Handsome Furs (Dan Boeckner and Alexei Perry). “What About Us” is the first single off their new album Sound Kapital, released by Sub Pop. I actually just flew back home from Lisbon, where I was shooting the next Sharlene Vs. episode. There, I got to guest on Radar FM (Portugal’s alternative radio station) with DJ Pedro Ramos, and picked “What About Us” as my Canadian request. It was a

Do you have a body type that people want to cuddle up to, but are very difficult to stylize? Are you rounded like the apple? Well, the typical traits of the apple shaped body is-

What happens when you hit a big department store lingerie section and ask for bras over a D cup only to be told to go to the USA to shop? Well, if you are as determined as Claire Dumican, you create your own store! Frustrated with the lack of selection in Canada for large busted women, Claire created Butterfly Collection.

The line offers an incredible range in straight sizes starting at a 30E 38K with 30D offered soon, and 40B 46H with J cup offered in the fall. If you are skeptical about ordering bras online, Claire aims to demystify the process and provide a pleasant shopping experience.

When it comes to jewelry, I’ll always pass over the subtle in favor of the statement-making. Tiny stud earrings and delicate chain bracelets have no place in my jewelry box–I’d rather stack a half-dozen different bangles on a single wrist or don an oversized necklace that extends to my navel.

This is why I’ve been captivated by double-knuckle rings this season. Even in their simplest iterations (like this one by Elizabeth and James), they’ve got personality to spare. Edgier ve

You might be wondering why Im revisiting a dress from Marios Schwabs A/W 08-09 collection, one of his most provocative I think in both symbolism and silhouette. The Craft Council have craftily acquired the dress above dubbed Dress09 from the collection and have asked artist Tom Gallant, who worked with Schwab on the dress on the print and cut-out technique to curate an online exhibition entitled The Yellow Wallpaper. This makes it all too tempting to delve into the collaborative facet of the collection and to research and relish Gallants handiwork.

Its no easy feat to communicate the atmosphere and intricacies of a visual exhibition online but in this case, Gallant takes us through the various influence points that led him to both to his own work as a pattern-based artist as well as the prints and cut-outs for the Marios Schwab dress.
