September 08, 2021 at 06:20PM Have the last 18 months made you care more about creating a cozy, safe, beautiful home base than ever before? It sure has for me. While cooped up during various lockdowns in Toronto, I started to become acutely aware of all the things in my two-bedroom apartment that suddenly felt…tired. Like I was settling. And a lot of the attention — and funds — I’d previously spent on slick blazers and cute shoes (and bi-weekly manicures, let’s be honest) started to get funnelled towards Adult Priorities like framed art, sumptuous bedding and comforting loungewear. I know I’m not the only one — in November 2020, Yahoo Finance reported that according to Etsy CEO Josh Silverman, the e-tailer’s home furnishings sales were up over 120 percent year-over-year, and folks are still lamenting longer-than-ever shipping times on some furniture items…

September 08, 2021 at 04:48PM The resale market is poised to surpass fast fashion sales within 10 years. Yes, you read that correctly. According to Doug Stephens, founder and president of retail industry consultancy Retail Prophet, “The explosion in resale fashion, driven by brands like The Real Real, Poshmark and others, positions resale to overtake fast fashion within a decade.” In fact, according to online retailer ThredUp’s 2020 report, resale is predicted to be valued at $64 billion in four years. And now, an unlikely retailer is making a splashy entrance into the resale market alongside scrappier sites like Depop and Poshmark. Fast fashion mecca H&M just launched H&M Rewear, a resale platform where people can buy and sell items from any brand.

September 08, 2021 at 04:35PM Since its launch in 2015, Canadian brand Mejuri has made its mark in the fine and demi-fine jewellery scene, and redefined the concept of direct-to-consumer shopping, offering accessible pricing on highly covetable pieces. With accessories that have become bona fide must-haves, some Mejuri collections have risen to classic status already — a feat that can take some brands decades to achieve. For its new fall campaign, the brand has tapped two modern-day supermodels: ’90s fashion industry trailblazer and living legend Christy Turlington (who could forget her truly iconic Calvin Klein Eternity ads? Swoon.) and world-renowned runway regular Binx Walton, who has fronted campaigns for labels like Tom Ford, Céline and Saint Laurent (NBD). Photography courtesy of Shaniqwa Jarvis/MejuriMejuri’s new campaign highlights the brand’s most iconic, and best-selling, collections to date: the Dôme, the Croissant, the Charlotte and the…
