Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Have It All With A Carryall

Tuesday, February 19th, 2013

This spring, we are seeing a revival of a refreshingly ladylike and sophisticatedly structured handbag taking the place of the over-stuffed, bottomless pit hobo we once knew and loved. To get this elegant, grown-up look yourself, take style cues from the season’s most desirable handbags from designers like Maison Martin Margiela and Michael Kors who play with bold colors and intricate shapes we have not seen enough of since the ‘60s! By investing in a higher quality textile from a reputable design house, this classic handbag will be a chic piece you’ll cherish for years to come and even be able to pass on as a vintage piece later in life.

1. Coach Legacy Leather Penny 3-Way Shoulder Purse in Mint, $198

Toronto Fashion Jobs – Mad for Mod

Thursday, January 24th, 2013

You say you want a style revolution for 2013 so begin the New Year by transporting yourself back in time to a high-spirited era that’s mad for mod. The swinging 60s make their return this year with retro brilliance that’s a bold blast from the past.
Looking through your rose coloured lenses, you’ll gain perspective on the eccentric era that brought notable new style to life. From pop art to futuristic mod to the happy, yet haute hippie, fashion looks back to this revolutionary decade with no shortage of reference points. Start the year off embracing this retro revival by turning back the clock with 60s reminiscent clear-cut patterns, high-contrast colours, blunt silhouettes and wild geometric prints.
To join the mod squad, give a nod to the carefree, youthful vibe emanated by the decade with graphic mod prints, decorative flower power embellishments, swing coats and geometric shifts that’ll easily take you from winter to spring, and back again, with the slip of an opaque pair of black tights to relieve fashionable nostalgia with Twiggy-like proportions.
As you take a psychedelic trip down memory lane, you’ll be left feeling and looking extra groovy in go-go girl glamour as the 60s return with a modern makeover for 2013, proving that eras gone by can still be hip and totally current.

Available in a wide variety of styles, colours and textures, they’re nothing like what you grew up with. No matter your taste, you’ll be sure to find one that fits your everyday style.
