Law of Attraction

The closest I think I'll ever get to owning an original by Miami based architect and designer Luis Pons is his Uno Rebix Cube! A few years ago Pons ventured into jewelery design with Magnetik Distractions, a piece based on a simple ball chain and a magnetized bearing, that can be worn in multiple ways from a necklace to a ring. To add more style cred to his attractive invention, Pons created a magnetized ring and a "Rebix cube" (play off of the original Rubik's cube) in silver or gold. With a 200 cm thin chain and some ingenuity you'll have tons of styling options to accessorize your summer look. I love the cube version and can't stop tinkering around with my designs! The magnet is very strong, but do not wear if you plan on dancing or running! Images of my own designs to follow... You can get these electro-charged links at Charles & Marie, and Leo Boutique.

Fashion Flogger: Carl Abad of WORTH

Carl Abad, owner of Worth and stylist at large, continues to provide progressive pieces from brands such as Conference of Birds, Greyhound, and Generra, to work into our wardrobes and perfect our styles.

Carl would best describe WORTH as: Original with an individual point of view, with an East coast feel. We strive to create an environment where our clients can explore and experiment with our well edited collections to adapt to their personal styles.

Sexiest thing he's done fully dressed: A photo shoot I styled for a German fashion magazine years ago. It was two boxers in fighting positions and I wrapped their hands and groins in gauze, minimal and simple, but holy crap sexy! To me styling is always sexy..

My Dandy Day

This just in... I'm featured in FINE AND DANDY , an on-line  haberdashery that specialises in well all things only a modern day gentleman will appreciate, such as pocket squares, cuff links and bow ties.  The other fab feature of the Fine and Dandy site is that you can get all this great stuff on line!
The site is created by two great friends of mine who live in New York City, and share their love of fine men's wear fashions and the history of being dapper.
You can check out  My profile and one of my dandy looks for a spread I did in Avenue magazine ... oh ya being one of Calgary's best dressed.... A fine and dandy day indeed!

Shaggy Chic

A few days ago I was musing about Fall 09's love affair with long hair, as in fur coats. A studious Stylista pal of mine immediately sent me this image of Katie Grand, the "it" stylist in the biz as well as the editrix of LOVE, sporting Dolce and Gabbana's Fall 09 fierce fuchsia fur! We love her! And we can't wait to monkey around this fall in glamazon lux!

On the Loose!

Rick Owens



The dhoti -- a loose drop crotch pant that is common in India as blue jeans are in Indiana-- is back on our fashion radar. Forget the voluminous variety from the days of MC Hammer or International Male, this season's dhoitis have street cred cool enough for boys of the west end and downtown divas.

Hot Pants!

Duckie Brown

Givenchy

Short pants are cropping up this season, so if you have legs like Casper or too shy to bare your skin, fear not Spring 09's key trend is to layer with leggings. Ya that's right, the style we see running around on jogging paths and world class athletes are taking off on the runways!
I think I'm going to give this look the old "college try" and recently bought some leggings and found the perfect wide legged shorts to sport this season!
Self Portraits to come!

Jump Jump Jump into It!

Miharayasuhiro

Salvatore Feragamo

I just recently bought a jumpsuit! It's a flight suit from Crown Surplus that I've altered to look like my divine Feragamo inspiration! There is something to be said about the jumpsuit. It's perfect for those "I don't know what to wear," days, or when I'm running late and can still leave the house looking flawless. Not since the disco days of Donna Summer has the jumpsuit sizzled for women and men, that is until now...
I'll be debuting this chic uniform very soon!
