LD Tuttle

Did you ever hear of LD Tuttle? It is a fabulous brand from the UK. There's only one place in Canada that carry LD Tuttle and it is at Chasse Gardee, 1084 Queen Street West in Toronto. Great shoe store!! LD had great success on the runway at Erin Wasson x RVCA fashion show SPRING/SUMMER 2010! The beige boot is gorgeous and very luxe looking, but I much prefer the design in black! I also put a few other of my favorite from LD Tuttle! I love shoes!!!!

Britney un-airbrushed!

Britney Spears.. Miss Britney has been a train rack over the last few years! But this time, I hear of something that for once, all of her younger fan should be looking at! No, it is not a picture of her va-g-g getting out of a car but of a recent campaign she did for Candies..

Britney released her "un-airbrushed" photos along with the final images chosen for the campaign. No one can argue, she looks good in her before photo! BUT yes, she looks better in the final image. They even removed the hint of camel toe!

I wonder if the self esteem of young girls around the world would go up if every fashion magazine would show a before and after picture for every cover?

Fine art dog portraits

Fine art dog portraits

Freidin proposed his idea for The Doggie Gaga Project to Netherland-based Impossible Project who has taken on the impossible: to re-invent and re-start production of analog integral film for vintage Polaroid Cameras. They graciously donated two packs of original Polaroid film (20 prints total). Freidin and his small team went to work creating the custom-made, Gaga-inspired canine fashions for a Boston Terrier, a Mexican hairless, a Shiba Inu, and two Pit Bulls. Shooting in his San Francisco studio, Freidin employed a Horseman field camera with a Polaroid back using the increasingly rare T-669. During the photo shoot, no animals were harmed – or even irritated.

More on Jesse Freidin:
 Jesse Freidin, a traditional film photographer who characteristically photographs dog portraits with a Hasselblad, recently won Beast of the Bay’s 2010 award for “Best Dog Photographer.” With years of experience as a fine-art photographer and professional dog-handler, Freidin has a unique approach to animal photography that captures the deeply emotional tie that people have with their pets. As one of the last surviving traditional photographers in the Bay Area, he creates museum-quality black-and-white photographs with unbeatable richness and tone, that are produced, from start to finish, entirely by hand. His true passion for animals and loyalty to analog photography made it only natural that he would create “The Doggie Gaga Project.”

In the words of Edwin Land, the Inventor of Instant Photography, “Don’t undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.”

Lady Gaga was recently named creative director for a specialty line of Polaroid products. Asked if he has met Lady Gaga, Freidin replied, “Not yet, but I’d love to. I hope she enjoys the pictures.”

Toronto Fashion Week: Lucian Matis

Lucian Matis Fall 2010 entire collection gave me goosebumps at the LG Toronto Fashion Week last Thursday. Inspired by Romanian folklore and literature, Matis used beautiful materials, intricate beading, busy patterns, warm tones, rich textures and elegant lace. His collection was paired with amazing jewelery made by Jewelery by Karen. It was just a delight to watch and you could feel such an anticipation in the room! I heard it was the best show of the week!

I had the pleasure to work on a fashion show for Lucian years ago and I also borrowed his dresses for photo shoots. He is lovely to work with! I always look forward to see what his imagination and powerful creativity will offer next! He is a freaking genius and definitely one of my favorite Canadian Designer! He may very well be THE Alexander McQueen of the Canadian Fashion.

Must-Have Color Trends for Fall 2011


What will she wear next?

I do like lady Gaga. I found her fascinating. I think she knows who she is and she is true to herself. She express herself through her creative wardrobe and although some of her outfit are making you say WTF.. each of her looks are deeply though of and there is a story behind each of her looks. She is a HUGE inspiration for the fashion world.

Things are not what they use to be in the music industry, having talents does not guarantee you a future. You really need to stand out from everyone else and she sure knows how to do that. It is all about entertaining people, which Lady Gaga does through her fashion style and stage persona. She sure is a great entertainer!
