[Editorial] Burgundy Love Affair Shot By Ishmil Waterman

February 13, 2014

Valentines Day is around the corner, and to help get you in that v-day spirit we shot this quick editorial featuring one of the biggest trends in mens fashion this season, a burgundy suit. Aside from its obvious v-day colour connotation, a burgundy suit is a refreshing essential in any mans wardrobe. Capable of making a statement both dressed up and down, the burgundy suit is versatile, stylish and perfect for those special occasions.

WEDDING OF THE WEEK: RYAN & STELLA

January 31, 2014

Meet Ryan, a young professional with a keen eye for style who came to us a couple of months back to get outfitted for his gorgeous wedding. Fortunately for us when Ryan sat down with our made-to-measure expert Konstantine he had a clear vision of what he was striving for. For his suit we virtually customized every aspect from the width and angle of the lapels, location of the button and shape of the front panels to create a garment that would meet all his needs and wants. The end result was this “Tom Ford inspired” single button, peak lapel tuxedo.

#NYC DAY 4 RECAP: FALL ’14 BUYING SEASON

January 27, 2014

All good things must come to an end, and with that we get ready to wrap up our stay in NYC and bid farewell to the big apple. But before we make our way to the airport there is still one matter of business that we needed to attend and that was the Mrket Show. By far one of the better trade shows we’ve attended this season, Mrket definitely offered a curated collection of vendors that really alined well to our brand and customers. This became evident when we started noticing that almost all our vendors were exhibiting at the show. We had the boys from Lipson, PYA Patrick Assaraf, Seaward & Stearn, Without Prejudice, Loft 604, Hook & Albert, Oscar of Sweden, just to name a few, all present and showing their latest collections.

Here is yet another snap shot/behind the scenes look into our last day in New York. Till we meet again New York.

#NYC DAY 3 RECAP: FALL ’14 BUYING SEASON

January 26, 2014

Welcome to Day 3: Once again our day started bright and early, 7am to be exact. Our first appointment of the day and possibly our longest was with Eidos Napoli. This 100% Italian brand epitomizes sartorial elegance, quality and craftsmanship and has very quickly become one our favourite brands to carry. We met up with Antonio Ciongoli, Creative Director of Edios at their stunning presentation centre located in one of the coolest homes we’ve ever been too, this one was previously owned by non other than Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor. After spending over three hours curating the collection we can certainly say that you guys are going to love what you see this Fall ’14 as we are the only retailer in all of Canada to have exclusive access to the brand.

From there we popped across town for a quick bite at Normas before heading to Dover Street Market for some creative inspiration. For those that aren’t familiar with Dover Street Market is a multilevel fashion retail store created by Rei Kawakubo of Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons. It is located in Dover Street, Mayfair, London, Tokyo & New York. Once we wrapped up at the market we returned to to hotel to freshen up before some late night schmoozing with some of our vendors where we… well, you know the saying, What happens in New York stays in New York!
