Pear cut.

I lent my friend Kate this one-off piece: a stiff, sculptural, pear-cut dress. Little did I know she was styling it on a man. I'm really pleased with the look! Anyone else into this?
Fashion-forward gentlemen... it's still for sale...

Crystal Methodology

I have a few pieces for sale in Miracle Thieves. They are made of a black, coated cotton denim, and are ready to be broken in by a loving new owner. The pieces feature raw edges and distressed details paired against sharp, precise "edges." One piece has already been nabbed, so don't sleep on these. They are also super limited in number so you won't be caught at a party wearing the same thing as that hussy over there in the corner... Happy holiday partying!

Garter & Asp

One of my favourite Canadian designers, Jennifer Ann Gilpin, has a new collection out now. I am so excited! Originally designing under the name Re-Gen, she then produced a few seasons under her own name. SS08 was the last I saw of her amazing designs as she made a move to Berlin - can I say I wish I were in Berlin? Now I have discovered she has re-surfaced with the design label Garter & Asp. Her collections are often highly conceptual, but she aims to bridge the gap between conceptual fashion and wearable art - a goal I believe she succeeds in achieving. Her designs have proven once again to be interesting, elegant and sleek, with a bit of bite.
