November 04, 2021 at 06:20PM The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) commenced in Glasgow this week as international leaders face mounting pressure to unearth solutions to the fashion industry’s role in the climate crisis. On November 3, designer Stella McCartney — a crusader for sustainability since creating her luxury label in 2001 — gave the summit’s attendees a taste of what those solutions could be in a flourishing installation. Titled “Future of Fashion: An innovation conversation with Stella McCartney,” the COP26 exhibit invited guests to imagine a “nature-positive” fashion industry through an exploration of the brand’s next-generation materials. Hosted at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, “Future of Fashion” is part of Prince Charles’s Sustainable Market Initiative (SMI) and is aligned with its Terra Carta charter, designed to provide blueprint for businesses to move towards a sustainable future by 2030.…

November 03, 2021 at 09:25PM Emily in Paris was easily one of the most binge-watched shows of 2020. From the stunning cinematography showcasing the French capital to the ogle-worthy fashion looks sported by protagonist Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), the comedy was a welcome escape during the pandemic, and left many of us wanting more. Now, with the show returning for a second season on December 22, fans will soon be able to dress like a character straight out of the series thanks to an online store that will sell merchandise from the show’s wardrobe. As Emily might say, c’est magnifique! On November 3, WWD reported that Netflix and ViacomCBS have teamed up to launch the store, which will sell pieces from some of the luxury fashion houses featured on Emily in Paris. Participating brands include AZ Factory, Eye M by Ileana Makri and…

November 03, 2021 at 06:54PM Everyone has a Hollywood fantasy. It’s the romanticized version we all grew up daydreaming about, filled with dazzling lights, stars on every corner and cutting edge fashion. On the evening of November 2, Gucci brought that fantasy to life. The fashion house shut down Hollywood Boulevard and used the Walk of Fame as the runway for its first in-person show since before the pandemic: Gucci Love Parade, a collection of over 100 looks worn by an eclectic cast including Jared Leto, Jodie Turner-Smith, St. Vincent, Phoebe Bridgers, Janaya Khan and Macaulay Culkin. The Gucciverse created was one full of glamour and allure. Creative Director Alessandro Michele pulled inspiration from his love for classic Hollywood and his familiarity with the escapism of show business. As a child living in a squat in the outskirts of Rome, he relished in…

November 03, 2021 at 01:56PM In the November 3 episode of Diggstown, CBC’s ground-breaking legal drama, the show’s creators zero in on birth alerts, a controversial practice in which child welfare agencies notify hospitals and birth centres when an expectant mother is believed to be “high risk,” often resulting in the seizure of the baby without consent. It’s a policy that has been widely condemned for its disproportionate impact on Indigenous and Black women. And while Diggstown is scripted TV, the show’s creator/showrunner Floyd Kane and episode director Juanita Peters want viewers — and Canadians — to know that this is not a fictional policy, nor is it something from the distant past. Nova Scotia (where Diggstown is set) and Quebec still practice birth alerts, while British Columbia, Alberta and the Yukon ceased the policy in 2019. Manitoba and Ontario only stopped issuing…

November 02, 2021 at 08:11PM Just as the internet settles from the news of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s engagement, furor has ensued yet again with rumours that Kim Kardashian is dating comedian Pete Davidson. Could this be real? Here’s what we know. On October 29, the pair was photographed holding hands on a roller coaster ride at Knott’s Scary Farm, a Halloween event in Buena Park, California. They were accompanied by the aforementioned Kourtney Kardashian and Barker on the spooky outing (Davidson and Barker reportedly know each other through their mutual friend Machine Gun Kelly, who is dating Megan Fox. Still with me?). Kravis has had many a viral double date with MGK and Fox, and both celeb couples rarely hesitate to share PDA pics and objectively strange proclamations of love (like, the fact that MGK wears a vial of Fox’s blood…

November 02, 2021 at 02:10PM The last few years have seen the tradition of advent (which most of us celebrated in childhood) reach epic proportions in the form of holiday calendars filled with luxe products and trinkets that seems to get bigger and more lavish every year. If you thought you’d seen it all, perhaps in the form of Charlotte Tilbury’s golden chest of drawers or the best of the Holt Renfrew beauty hall, think again. Shaped like the iconic bottle of N°5 — one of the best-selling women’s fragrances of all time — the Chanel holiday advent calendar will undoubtedly be a thrilling sight for those sore, end-of-year eyes. Commencing  on December 5 (à la the scent) and ending on the most glam night of all, NYE, the holiday advent calendar includes 27 boxes filled with covetable Chanel treats, many of which…
