Pink Tartan Collection

Pink Tartan’s fall/winter 2012 collection combines the season’s trusty neutrals with unexpected pops of emerald green and red. Borrowing from spring’s trends, colour-blocking and monochromatic palettes make a reappearance, but you won’t see any pink or neon here. Rather than a wave of colour, designer
Kimberley Newport-Mimran (Joseph Mimran’s other half) plays with layers of mixed mediums. The collection features combinations of leather, mesh, fur and feathers in an unexpected but satisfying way. To get the look, pair bold pieces with simple, well-made basics for a unique take on every outfit.

Stressed to Impress

An experience that evokes agony or ecstasy, regret or satisfaction, shopping for clothes is something we all have to do. After decades of dressing people for a living, I’ve learned a few things that can help to heighten your experience while keeping you sane.

Define your needs. What essential piece(s) are you missing from your wardrobe, and how much are you willing to pay for it? Ask yourself what shop or boutique would most likely carry what you’re looking for.

Know your body type. Sometimes this is tricky because some of us tend to focus entirely on our flaws, which leads to a distorted sense of our shape. But knowing how to wear what’s right for your body type is essential to making it look its best. Attend a workshop or catch a fashion makeover show to learn the basics. Read more

Fall Trends with David Clemmer

Get in on the fashion scene with the latest must-haves.

Colour
The fall season is looking bright – as bright as fall can be. Orange is the colour of the season, along with coffee, cedar, phlox (eggplant for the vegetarians out there), and bamboo. There’s a whole range of colours to complement orange – have fun with it!

The Jean Jacket
The season’s must-have item. Not the boxy kind from back in the day but a more tailored blazer-esque fit to accentuate your silhouette. Opt for a shorter crop to streamline your body and longer tapered sleeves to make this look even sexier. What’s perfect about this look is its versatility – dress it up, dress it down, layer it, wear it Read more

EDIT by Jeanne Beker

Whether we’re looking at the fashion world through our televisions, computer screens or up-close-and-personal at LG Fashion Week, we often feel like we’re universes away. Jeanne Beker, fashion journalist and television personality, has made the fashion realm more relatable, more understandable, and definitely more enjoyable. “The lifestyle that I lead may look enigmatic,” says Beker, “but I’m always stressing how there are so many situations in my life that really have nothing to do with the high life.”

Her down-to-earth persona is flawlessly translated into her very own clothing line – EDIT by Jeanne Beker.  A working mom herself, Beker understands the need for clothes that “aren’t really that fussy, but still make a style statement.” Her collection features clothing staples that can be mixed and matched, including her Jeanne Jeans, that now come in three different cuts and colours – deep plum Read more
