Tales from a non-Fashionista: Dare to Wear

March 21, 2012 by Racheal

World MasterCard Fashion Week closed with Dare to Wear Love, a gala fundraiser showcasing Canadian designers with celebrity models.  Given just a few yards of African fabric,some of the designers really pushed the limits.  The standout for me was Cityline's Tracy Moore in a breathtaking … [Read more...]

Tales from a non-Fashionista: David Dixon

March 19, 2012 by Racheal

I'm not a fashion gal at all, so for me to be blown away by a fashion show is a pretty big thing.  And that's exactly what happened with David Dixon's bird themed line for Fall 2012.  I'm usually the one wondering what the hype's about quietly grumbling about not getting it, but this … [Read more...]

Tales from a non-Fashionista: Joe Fresh

March 19, 2012 by Racheal

No Canadian Fashion Week is complete without a little love from Joe Fresh.  I actually wonder if they had the produce aisle in mind when they came up with this cap.  Nonetheless, here's a look at what'll be in grocery stores near you this coming fall... … [Read more...]

Tales from a non-Fashionista: Holt’s Canadian Catwalk

March 13, 2012 by Racheal

My only real criticism of Holt Renfrew, who have committed to showcasing Canadian designers, is that they need a new lighting person.  Keeping in mind that I come from the theatre, where we have incredibly talented designers who can create a lighting masterpiece with a couple of LED … [Read more...]

Tales from a non-Fashionista: Fashion Week Begins

March 12, 2012 by Racheal

    Once again, I'm back in the photo pit for Toronto's World MasterCard Fashion Week.   It started off with a bang, opening with Korhani's fall 2012 collection.  As always, the carpet company flexed their whimsical muscles as they transformed their wares into wearable … [Read more...]

Tales from a non-Fashionista: Lucian Matis

March 12, 2012 by Racheal

Another spring, another Fashion Week. I love Lucian Matis.  I love the feminity, beauty and fun he brings to his work.  (And yes, I realise the irony of that statement coming from a total non-fashionista!)  We're lucky here in Toronto, because he's presenting 2 shows in the World … [Read more...]

Why I Love My Job

March 7, 2012 by Racheal

Some days I really love my job.  I was invited to a preview of what will be happening behind the scenes at tomorrow night's Genie Awards. So here's what I got: A hair lesson from Civello. My nails done by Tips. Exquisite, freshly dipped Brie & fig Chocolates from Purdy's. In case that … [Read more...]

Catching Up with Kevin Durand

March 6, 2012 by Racheal

When I sat down with Kevin Durand in Toronto recently, the first thing I asked was for him to clear up a rumour. There's an urban myth that's come out of the University of Windsor, that the head of the Drama department sat you down and kicked you out of the programme because she said you would … [Read more...]

The What Awards?

January 17, 2012 by Racheal

The nominees for this year's Genie Awards were announced in Toronto today.  We really do have a remarkable amount of talent in this country.  But I have a pressing question for you: take a look at the list and tell me, do you know any of them?   BEST MOTION PICTURE A … [Read more...]

JACK CHAMBERS: Light, Spirit, Time, Place and Life. Exhibition opens at the AGO

November 28, 2011 by Sonya

When I have the time between playdates and pizza lunches, I like to take a moment to be in a calm place to clear my head and to be inspired. I go to art galleries and museums for this.  It's difficult to explain but it's a rejuvenation of sorts. As an artist, I'm always curious as to how other … [Read more...]
