Ad Campaign | C’N’C CoSTUME NATIONAL Man S/S 2012
C’N’C CoSTUME NATIONAL turn to social media, specifically tumblr for their latest campaign. The edgy campaign is built entirely around tumblr (which is what FASHIONIGHTS is on) in hopes that the photos will be reblogged, turned to GIF files and all that other great tumblr stuff! It’ll be great to see if anyone does create fun photos. Great job CoSTUME NATIONAL for being different and reaching your younger audience!
Model Martin Rocchia is joined by Jeanne Damas for C’N’C’s S/S 2012 campaign - but I wonder if they’re have these on rotation in print and billboards? Will bother some eyes is my guess.

Channeling her inner Madonna, model, Sky Ferreira & V Magazine play tribute to the Queen of Pop for the mag’s music issue.
Photographed by Mario Testino, the beauty dons Madonna’s signature looks and outfits. I love how they blacked out Sky’s teeth to get Madonna’s gap teeth!
Beauty | Love, Chloé & L’eau de Chloé Fragrances & Giveaway
It’s time for my first giveaway of the year, this one is for the ladies! I’m giving away two, yes 2 Chloé fragrances which have recently come out, or set to launch shortly! You all know I’m all about beauty and fragrances and if I can share some with you, I’m doing it! So here’s your chance to win BOTH fragrances!
Introducing the Love, Chloé purse spray, an exclusive limited edition. With its powdery floral aura created by perfumers Louise Turner and Nathalie Cetto-Gracia, Love, Chloéis a fragrance that caresses the skin with a subtle fusion of iris, heliotropine, fresh flowers and musks, conjuring memories of the scents of rouges, talcs and face powders of a bygone era. The entire flacon is steeped in the rose gold which, before now, embellished its base alone. With its finely engraved name and delicate chain linking the cap to the bottle, this jewel will naturally appeal to a woman of refined and feminine tastes. The Love, Chloépurse spray can be refilled – proof that it was created for the woman who adores the fragrance, and who loves to travel. The purse spray comes with three (3) 10ML refills and has a suggested retail price of $82. Launching in January 2012 exclusively at select Bay and Holt Renfrew stores across Canada for a limited time only.
Second up, L’eau de Chloé eau de toilette - a fresh interpretation of the Eau de Parfum. This reflection of the multi-faceted Chloé is feminine, bold, and natural. The rose reveals new olfactory colors in the Eau de Toilette, creating a light, luminous character. Hints of mandarin orange zest shine through in the head notes. Freesia and watermelon enhance the initial impression, and touches of sandalwood and fresh iris complete the base. Subtle elegance pervades every layer of this deliciously mischievous scent. The fragrance’s luxurious flacon is graced with an ivory-colored ribbon. Launching February 2012, the 100ML has a retail value of $110 and is available at Sephora, Holt Renfrew and Bay stores across the country.

Everyone’s favourite male model, Francisco Lachowski is interviewed backstage at the John Galliano Fall 2012 show. That face, that accent so charming! The Brazilian model, tell us that this season’s Galliano show was pretty ‘normal’ and not as over-the-top as previous season. Well, I guess Galliano is truly out of the picture now! Such a shame!

A little self promotion is in order! Nicole Robinson of The Backstage Life conducted an interview with me back when I attended the Nella Bella Fall 2011 preview and I discussed the collection and materials. Not gonna lie, I look pretty natural on camera there! Hot stuff!
Thanks to Nicole for posting the video, we should really team up for more on screen time, who is not watching us on video?!

Preview | Harry Rosen S/S 2012
I’m getting really excited for Spring this year! What with coloured bottoms, prints and relaxed tailoring - the sun can’t come fast enough! In a world of seemingly terribly dressed men, Harry Rosen sees to change that. Here are my favourites and key trends from the Harry Rosen S/S 2012 preview.
Let’s begin with men’s suiting, from fashion forward checks like the Dolce & Gabbana suit (below) to re-invented pinstripe suits (like the one above) from Ermenegildo Zegna - modern tailoring is refined with impeccable styling and accented with pops of bright ties and pocket squares.
A modern day bohemian man has emerged with his layered looks of printed shirts, leather bombers and light-weight denim. Shoes are an important item to any wardrobe and that is no different for this well dressed man, dessert boots, deck shoes and subtle sneakers in neutral shades in suede. Harry Rosen always has a great selection of Lanvin sneakers, some of my tops picks for every season!
I’m absolutely OBSESSED with this Versace printed shirt, I need it in my wardrobe so badly!
Lust Have | Prada Headphones
Not often do I want something that’s technology-based, unless it’s that Galaxy Nexxus android phone, but these ultra lux Prada headphones are on my major want list! The headphones feature Prada’s Saffiano calf leather detail on the headphones, metal lettering logo and measure in at 7.09” L and 7.09” H. They also come in their own satin Prada logo pouch.
How much do the headphones fetch? A cool $450 USD. Mmm, totally thinking about them. Check them out on Prada’s e-store!

Collection | Dries Van Noten Man F/W 12/13
The textures, the proportions and those psychedelic prints are everything! The boldness of the prints were only highlighted with the exceptional tailoring and cut of suits, trousers and coats. But, seriously, let’s talk about those textured knits! So rich and heavy, obsessed!
Look Book | Dr. Martens S/S 2012
Over the past while everyone has been talking, buying a pair of and incorporating Dr. Marten shoes, specifically boots, into daily outfits, blog posts and tweets. And I’ve long battled the onslaught of Docs because I’ve never been keen on their apperance and styles. I’ve slowly begun to change my mind.
Recently, Lotus Leaf Communications, the same PR firm that reps Manitobah Mukluks, took on Dr. Martens as a client and I’ve been sent the entire S/S 2012 lookbook and I’ll be attending the Spring 2012 launch soon.
Part of preview will be the launch of the second film in the #FIRSTANDFOREVER series - the film is called First Love and stars Agyness Deyn and Ash Stymest. With the film launch Dr. Martens asked Canada’s top bloggers to submit a photo or a series of photos that represented our First Love. Dr. Martens will choose the top 10 images and showcase the photos at the event and our name/site will be listed on invites and promo materials, and in all media alerts and press release regarding the launch event. Hope I get one of mine in there!
We would love to fill the venue with beautiful photographic images that represent individuals’ experiences of FIRST LOVE. All you have to do is take a few creative pictures of something, someone or somewhere that reminds you of your first love & submit them. This can be a collection of items, a series of places, maybe Docs will even be part of the image. Dr. Martens will select the 10 best images to showcase at the venue during the screening event. Your name/site will be listed on invites and promo materials, and in all media alerts and press release regarding the launch event.
I broke down my favourites for both men and women from the Spring 2012 collection, and I’ll go into more detail once I see the collection in person! These are my top four favs for men and after the jump are my picks for the ladies! Just realized all the women’s shoes are the same colour way! Pastel pink and mauve!
