The latest




Jeremy Laing's Fall 10 collection

Jeremy Laing introduces knits and furs in his latest collection, to much acclaim. One of his most complete and best collections to date. Not only is the collection inspired by Canada, but his Canadian collaborations were abundant, including prints by Calla, and a "music arrangement" by Terence Koh.


Canadian glove designer Daniel Storto known for his amazing glove creations has collaborated with Prabal Gurung on some very graphic gloves for Gurung's first collection.

A new Canadian designer in the radar, Kaelen Farncombe presents her first collection. WWDcalls it a "sophisticated debut collection"

"MORPHABLE TIMELESS UNISEX COLLECTION TO CREATE
CHROMATICALLY DISTILLED SILHOUETTES"

The Canadian Olympic Team
And finally the winter Olympics are well under way in Vancouver, and yes there were some glitches but the city has scored high points on enviromental innovation taking many steps to eco-sustainability. On the fashion front let's not forget that the HBC team from The Hudson's Bay Company was in charge of the Canadian Olympic team's uniforms.
It feels interesting hearing Canada all the time in Paris.

It occurred to me I should check what Le Château is up to and I found they are in a Paris state of mind.
How appropriate!
