Off the Hook

For the record

inyl, records, albums have been on the come back for a while but their mainstream presence is more prominent thanks to Urban Outfitters. From A Charlie Brown Christmas to Bob Marley and the Wailers, the online shop offers a wide range of phonographic delights for the old at heart.

Fashionably charitable

Hailing from NYC, this new online store is set to bring the shopping experience to another level.
Cutdrop is "an online pop-up boutique that offers contemporary women’s and men’s apparel and accessories from a weekly host brand at low prices". What is even more exciting about Cutdrop, is that some of the proceeds will go to a charity chosen by the feature brand.

Grand Opening

Earlier this month, Uniqlo opened their first flagship store in Paris- 17, Avenue de l'Opéra
75001.
As usual with the Japanese clothing giant, the ad campaign is outstanding.
Here are some of the images that were seen all over the city featuring, our girl Nadège Winter, DJ Mehdi and director Matthieu Kassovitz.

And after all, you're - still- my Wonderwall

"Clothes and music are my passion. I'm not here to rip anyone off and I'm not doing it for the money either. I'm doing it cuz there's a lack of stuff out there of the things I would wear"
Liam Gallagher on his newest project, Pretty Green, a limited edition male clothing line, Oasis's lead singer launched earlier this year.

Pretty green offers a collection of exclusive and casual tees, hats, parka (and more) that emulates Gallagher's style.

PS: Cool website

It runs in the family

Minimalist, much more classical and a little pricier, that's how we could describe H&M sister- brand COS (Collection of style).

COS, launched in 2007, recently opened its first Parisian store with men, women and children apparel + accessories. 

With COS, the Swedish group is obviously targeting a  different group of consumer from the ever-so-present H&M's and I'm  curious to see how quickly Parisians will adopt the style.

Time is royal!

The Good or the Bad?

The good?
Following the likes of Zara, H&M is starting its own home line which consists of four collections.














The bad?
It is only available online and in Europe, namely Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands, and Austria.











Seeing as H&M only came to downtown MTL last summer, there is no telling when I'll be seeing it. But here is a sneak peek.

Advantages of cross border shopping

Yet another reason for Canadians to consider venturing south of the border for a quick shop. Alexander McQueen joins the likes of Sigerson Morrison and Isaac Mizrahi to launch his own line with Target for a limited time. Appropriately labelled McQ, the collection boasts mesh fabrics, hush tones alongside sparks of colour, and studs which translates the edgy, rock ‘n roll influence.
Expected: March 2009
Includes: swimwear, belts, scarves, tshirts and dresses
