Recyclable Sneaker Brand Thousand Fell Comes to Canada

September 22, 2021 at 09:45PM Thousand Fell, a NYC-based brand, says it has created the world’s “first recyclable sneaker.” Made of materials like upcycled clothing, plastic water bottles and even food waste, the brand has filled a gap in the notoriously wasteful footwear industry. The minimalistic vegan shoes have generated a lot of buzz and racked up hefty waitlists — and as of September 22, they’re available in Canada, too. Chloe Songer and Stuart Ahlum founded the online sneaker brand in 2018, and have since seen strong demand from the Canadian market — specifically in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Montreal and Edmonton. The founders had hoped to make the brand available in Canada from the start, Songer tells FASHION, but it’s been challenging to figure out the logistics for the brand’s “take back” business model. When customers are done with the shoes, the brand…

Our Favourite Comfortable Lingerie to Wear for Fall

September 22, 2021 at 09:24PM As we slowly venture out during this new “normal” phase of the pandemic, the reality of dressing for life outside our living rooms may have some of us less enthusiastic than we’d like to admit. “Hard pants,” heels and bras just aren’t as cozy as sweats, sneakers and going au naturel. (Who needs ’em, anyway, right?) But at least there are now more comfortable underwear and lingerie lines that want us to forget we’re wearing anything at all. Australian brand Sevinge is known for using soft, luxury fabrics to embrace your natural body shape, while Canadian label Hidden Lingerie provides comfortable options for those with Crohn’s disease and colitis. Fan-favourite Knix recently launched leakproof boxers for those who want more coverage during that time of the month, and Cuup has introduced new colourways to their best-selling style. From mesh bralettes…

The Best Street Style Inspo from London Fashion Week

September 22, 2021 at 07:17PM It’s hard to put into words what makes British fashion so quintessentially cool, and London street style is no exception. Fashionistas flocked to the cobblestone streets before and after various spring 2022 fashion week events in flashes of neon, relaxed suiting and sensible footwear. Brown and green were favourites among the crowd with beige bottoms and emerald sweaters were as far as the eye could see. Brightly coloured bulbous gowns were also a focal point as many influencers could be seen posing “candidly” around corners immersed in highlighter hues. But perhaps what the Brits do best is their tailoring, as demonstrated by the hordes of casual suits that appeared throughout the week. Giving the traditional garments an editorial upgrade, stylish men and women strutted down the streets in effortlessly cool ensembles, experimenting with silhouettes, colour, and texture. Plus,…

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas Are Our Fall Outfit Mood in Matching Knits and Masks

September 22, 2021 at 06:45PM Let’s just use this moment to salute parents Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas for their in-sync street style. The duo were spotted out in New York City rocking ribbed knits, aka the trend du jour. Their casual takes - Sophie’s a breezy short-sleeve mint cardigan and Joe’s a waffle pattern with chartreuse stripes - were finished appropriately with slacks and sneakers. While Sophie was in distressed, low-slung denim and her Air Force 1s, Joe chose a structured, belted trouser and Vans. Both were smart to keep their face masks on hand, although Sophie also accessorized with some pastel accessories you might notice, like her leather hobo tote and lucite sunglasses. Of course, the icing on the cake here is Sophie’s dad hat, some merch from the Jonas Brothers “Remember This” tour, which is available to pre-order for $35…

35 Wearable Outfits to Try From the Street Style at London Fashion Week

September 22, 2021 at 06:40PM London Fashion Week is back for physical events, showroom appointments, and the best of the city’s street style. At the spring/summer 2022 shows, attendees were spotted in bold prints and colourful outfits to celebrate the return of the catwalks. From the best of LFW street style, we handpicked nine fashion trends that showgoers are loving. It seems Bridgerton and The Queen’s Gambit had more of a sartorial effect on us than we realized. According to London’s style set, corsets and check prints are here to stay well into spring 2022. Attendees are also keen on blazers, tailored trousers, and statement leather pieces. Blazers and chinos lend themselves to a corporate aesthetic that signals a return to the office. And statement leather pieces, like slick trousers, a smart pencil skirt, or a cool blazer, are a trend we’ve been…

This Sustainable Fashion Brand Makes My New Favorite Cozy Clothes

September 22, 2021 at 06:40PM I’m obsessed with loungewear- there’s really no other way to put it. Whether it’s scouring Amazon for their latest cute sets or scrolling my Instagram feed for inspiration, basics I can relax in are my most purchased product. I recently tried a new brand called Pact, a clothing company focused on producing affordable, sustainable, quality clothing, and I have to say–I’m impressed. Pact has tons of amazing clothing options, but keep scrolling to see the products I can’t stop wearing on repeat. I’m a sucker for pajama sets, and I typically add them to the top of my holiday wish list every year. I tend to opt for sets that offer tanks and shorts-because I get hot while sleeping-and I found the perfect set with Pact’s Flirt Hem Sleep Set ($36). The first thing I noticed was the…

Vegan Corn Pancakes

Vegan Corn PancakesSeptember 22, 2021 at 05:00PM A delicious and whole grain recipe for corn pancakes made with cornmeal and topped with sweet or savory toppings. Fun fact! C and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary this year. WOAH. We’ve been married for 3 of those years but we started dating when we were 21. At the time I was living in NYC and C was living in Montreal…yes we started out long distance! Every time C would come visit me in NYC we would go to my favorite restaurant which served the most delicious corn pancakes. In fact, the restaurant still exists! Highly recommend you check out Coppelia on 14th street if you’re craving delicious Cuban food. Because we’re coming up on a decade I’ve been thinking a lot about those early years and while I definitely have no desire to…
