Behind The Scenes: NYC Fall 2014 Buying Season

August 11, 2014

In honour of fall’s immanent arrival, we are giving an insiders view of how the GS crew prepares for a new season of style. We are often asked how and why we choose the brands we carry- a common misconception assumes that labels approach us and we merely pick from a handful of samples. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.

This video gives you exclusive, behind the scenes access to our Fall 2014 NYC buying trip. Commencing in January (that’s correct- our planning process begins a minimum of six months in advance of any season), we start to research trends, new brands and attend buying appointments. Readers may recall parts of this journey from blog posts that chronicled our three day excursion- including navigating major trade shows (Liberty, Project and Mrkt), not to mention many, many meetings with various off-site vendors.

Buying for any season is an immensely personal process, one that founder, Melissa Austria never takes for granted. Sorting through hundreds of brands and thousands of samples is no easy task- especially when you take into consideration our ultra lovely, loyal and diverse client base- and their unique tastes. Here is what three days in NYC looks like for a veteran menswear buyer.

Gotstyle Groom Featured In Wedding Essentials Magazine

August 6, 2014

Looking good always works in your favour- especially when the outcome is having your wedding featured in a magazine. Meet Scott and Heather, the latest GS couple to tie the knot. Their nuptials were so stunning that Wedding Essentials magazine picked it up and detailed it for their Fall ’14 issue.

Scott came to us looking for a suit that would fluidly match his personal style- summer/ cottage (even in the rain) chic. After an enlightening consultation with our made-to-measure expert Konstantine, the sartorial wheels were set in motion. The end result- a custom, made-to-measure, three-piece in Dove grey that fit like a proverbial glove. With every last trimming in place, the suit and Scott were a perfect pair- attire wise. Don’t take our word for it, view the full editorial here (page 22).

Summer Essentials: Graphic Tees

July 31, 2014

The graphic tee- once a cornerstone of the rocker wardrobe, has been updated and redesigned for the modern man. These tees are less about emblazoned brand logos and superheroes, and more inclined to speak to cultural and geopolitical influences. Look for subtlety within the graphics, rather than a predictable statement. Google some of these captions to see what comes up- you just might learn something new.

#DressToKill Gotstyle x 19 Crimes Launch Event Recap

July 28, 2014

Last week, in true Gotstyle fashion, we threw a criminally amazing fete celebrating the Ontario launch of 19 Crimes– a winery out of Australia that produces two exceptional reds- the 2012 Shiraz Durif and the Shiraz Grenache Mataro. The event, held at our grand Distillery District location, treated the well-dressed crowd to delicious glasses of 19 Crimes wine along with an assortment of divine hors d’oeuvres. As with all GS affairs, it was our loyal customers who made the event special and stellar. Thanks to all who attended the mobster soiree and for making it yet another memorable evening.
