Louis Vuitton X Tommy Ton

I promise this is not the Tommy Ton blog. I just could not help post this up as I do work for Louis Vuitton as well; the images are quite riveting and it shows how the luxury brand knows what they need to do when it comes to social media.

KIN





During menswear fashion week in Paris I was planning to ask Sydney-the owner of the eponymous Toronto menswear boutique Sydney's-what he had liked so far and was planing to buy for his Toronto boutique. I figured this would give me an excuse to feature him and talk about menswear, little did I know that this season he was also debuting his own collection Kin. I am not at liberty to tell yet but let's just say that every designer wants this one New York store to pick them up, and I was there shortly after the purchase order was signed.
Kin will be a nice representative of Canadian menswear, Sydney's tailoring skills show throughout the construction of the garments and like the selection in his store there is great attention to fabrics and detail.

The Italian Connection

Francesco Cominelli shot by Tommy Ton for GQ

I was just looking for the perfect excuse to include my friend Francesco Cominelli in this blog. I knew that as soon as fashion week arrived I would find it. Francesco is not Canadian, but he is very stylish and a definite favorite of style shooters, including Tommy. Take note, you are going to be seeing a lot more of the Vogue Hommes assistant editor via the Canadians.

Calla's Hair Inspiration





I loved this weekend's write up of Calla's collection in one of my favorite sites Refinery29. What did I like about it? The fact that they caught the intricacy of the model's hair; Calla had a very specific idea and inspiration on what she wanted for the hair, think Big Love.

Tommy Ton in Paris Vogue




Everyone who knows Tommy knows Il adore Carine, and everyone who likes fashion has heard all about Tavi, the youngest fashion blogger out there. How opportune that Tommy's very first assignment for Paris Vogue was shooting Tavi for the Une fille un style pages.
I say pity there was not a video crew to capture that shoot...T&T together would have been so cute to watch. Maybe someone can make it happen if T&T reunite in Paris...
