Mad poppin’
Whilst packing my last box, oh, a few minutes ago, it occurred to me that some styles from this collection share similar colour schemes to Pop Montreal’s look. Coincidence indeed! So, to celebrate Bijougraphie arriving out east and highlight this timely observation, I’ve decided to have a Pop special where the following styles will be … Read more
A Fall Call to Arms with Steven Alan
Over here this year, Vancouver has made no bones about it being the crappy kind of fall that even autumn enthusiasts can get discouraged. It’s rained and grey skies are a-lurking. Even the heavy foreshadowing in the latest episode of Mad Men adds to it. What better way to fight it than with some bold, … Read more
Neuromantics: A bijougraphie
In the dead of winter this year, in a time of recession when design stints were few and far between and when I felt like absolute shit creatively, I had one idea that imbued any kind of buoyant inspiration: love and planets. It all happened when I was biking towards Third Beach one hazy rainy … Read more
ROTFL Loeffler Randall Fall09
And by that I mean: Roll on the floor loving Loeffler Randall Fall09. You know it. While Fashion Week is upon us for SS10, it’s best to revel in what was made for now, like these: So you can pair them with these: Never been one to tolerate background music on websites, but was ok … Read more
Dressaging with Dace
Over the weekend, I met an especially affable horse named Charlie at the PNE and had a Proustian Madeleine-tea-dipping moment when I pat his head. The exhilaration of riding, particularly galloping through some kind of mountainous forest in the Laurentians on an old friend’s Quarter horse (I think that’s what he said it was) in … Read more
You Ought in Dries Van Noten
Dark and mute colours may be well suited to fall, however, as someone who champions it as the most favourite season for my propensity for feeling more vigorous, it’s pleasing to see that energy with Dries Van Noten’s colour palette. The top 4, nay, top 6: I wear all these colours on the outside, because … Read more
If I wore a Boy…
Holy Jesus. Call me a late bloomer, but I just saw Marisa Tomei’s polaroids. Top 4: more photos here. This was the original top 4, but…Marisa Tomei! Mix-mix-match! Cue Beyoncé: “If I wore a Boy, I’d pair it with theeeeeeeese!” That ought to be banal, but it really isn’t. And now, you want a pair … Read more
Me and McQueen
It’s no co-incedence that the red and black combination appears in the Bijougraphie 2009 collection. Seeing it prominently in Alexander McQueen’s Ready-to-Wear fall 09 collection made the case for a most welcome and timely inclusion. You can’t deny the visually commanding effect of the combination’s starkness, a great addition to how Bijougraphie sets tones of boldness. … Read more
