HEMLUT LANG FIRST FALL DELIVERY!!

The much anticipated first fall delivery from Mr. Helmut Lang. AMAZING, this is how to kick off your fall wardrobe, wool sweater, blazer and leggings, and the perfect light grey drape top that pulls them all together. OH and how could I forget the most stunning, amazing print dress.

Perfect double breasted blazer with wool panelling. The tailoring is absolutely magnificent. Shown here with the leather panelled leggings that are sooo beautiful, serious rock star status. Also the light grey silk drape front top. Very interesting texture, its almost like a boiled silk jersey. One of those tops that go amazing with any blazer and just a beautiful by itself.

There is something Helmut Lang does with their leggings, I think it is the seams, whatever it is gives the leg a beautiful shape. Guaranteed to make your legs look amazing. These are a light wool and great for the winter. The top is a lace knit wool sweater with a curved hem. Beautiful detail.

Autumn colours with hidden blues and purples, only to see it and feel it can you truly see the beauty! It has the most flattering drape in the front and is made of silk with a little lycra making it comfortable and giving it the chance to fit everyone perfectly.

I am already in LOVE with FALL '10! How can this just be the beginning?

It's super pretty, and red is an excellent colour if you want boys to notice you, which you obviously do. The Phillip Lim people had it on their website with a wide belt with a huge buckle, but it seems that almost any kind of belt works with it, I like with this little skinny guy. And NOW 50% off to $299!

Last one!! 3.1 Phillip Lim blazer in cream. A super light weight cotton/viscose blend, perfect for warmer weather. And NOW 50% off for $387.

You may remember this foxy Alexander Wang from the size 0 posting, but yes, we also have a 4. Seriously man, if this fits you like a glove, you would be crazy not to get it. It's an amazing dress and will carry you forward very well. And NOW on sale 50% off to $347.

This unlined Rag&Bone blazer also made an appearance in the size 0 section, but some lucky lady in 4 can also own it. NOW 50% off to $371.

This Gary Graham dress is actually two dresses sold together: a gorgeous bias cut silk slip and a swingy smock style layer overtop in the same navy silk satin.

Look how foxy the back is....

Last one! Gorgeous silk dress from Gary Graham in a hard to find past-the-knee length; an excellent investment on sale, especially seeing as how his designs have so much continuity from season to season. What I love about this designer is that his dresses can always be worn just as well with feminine shoes and a clutch for evening as they can be paired back to motorcycle boots and a chunky cardigan for daytime. And NOW on sale 50% off to $370.

Adorable little Nili Lotan summer dress. The fabric is amazing! I keep describing it as a bikini top with a skirt attached. Probably it didn't sell because it was WINTER until two weeks ago. Anyway, now it's perfect. And super sexy/cute, which is only bad if you have a very jealous boyfriend/girlfriend?/husband/psycho neighbour. And NOW on sale for 30% off to $178.

BOY by Band of Outsiders cotton linen jacket. If this is your first time reading this blog, you may not yet know that I, along with every other staff member, are IN LOVE with this jacket.

An amazing shade of red!! You can check it out on the Vanessa Bruno spring runway show here. And NOW on sale 50% off to $281.

Our Sale Picks - By Size! Amazing Sale in a size 0!

The topic of conversation around here is something along the lines of "can you believe how excellent our sale is?!!?", and we thought everyone needed to know exactly how good! So we are going to break it down by size for everyone, and here to kick off the party is:

AMAZING SALE: size 0!

This smoking hot Alexander Wang vest dress should NEVER have gone on sale! A perfect day to night dress for any girl who can pull off super fashion-y looks for day (god bless creative jobs). Or just a killer dress to round out the closet; I do think that everyone needs a good little shirtdress style for the occasion that requires a bit of everything: a bit casual, a bit dressy, a bit sexy, a bit I-mean-business!! And NOW on sale 50% off for $275.

The last one: Phillip Lim sequin blazer/mini dress (can be worn either way). Check out the link to this bad boy on the runway here! And NOW 50% off to $581!! Lucky somebody! I wish it mine.

A gorgeous Rag&Bone wool/linen blend jacket. And for girls who are already pondering Fall wardrobes, I rather think this is an excellent forward-thinking sort of sale investment. And NOW 50% off to $371. That's S-M-R-T if I do say so myself.

Last one! Size 0! That's right! This Alexander Wang dress is HOT, evidently. But if you saw it from the back... well... let's just say that poor boy never stood a chance. And NOW on sale 30% off for $294.

BOY by Band of Outsiders 3/4 sleeve fitted plaid shirt. Super cute with that distressed denim short that everyone is living in right now, or with those awesome skinny army cargo pants. This is the kind of piece that this company puts out year round, but some lucky lady who wears a size 0 get it NOW for 50% off at $168.

BOY by Band of Outsiders amazing banded skirt. Like the blouse above, the size 0 in this skirt is really little, but if that's you, you are one lucky lady. This skirt is fiercely loved by every staff member and we actually don't understand why it's not sold out. And NOW on sale 40% off for $450.

T by Alexander Wang! 1st Fall Delivery

A great delivery of the classics: the muscle tee (in both black and white), the boatneck dress in charcoal, a basic black camisole, and a tank mini dress- great as a layering piece, or a super sexy LBD.

MORE SALE!!!!!

Happy Canada Day! Our hours are 12:00 - 5:00 on July 1, 2010.

This jacket on sale?! UNBELIEVABLE. You lucky thing, you have no idea.

You may recall this stunning Rag&Bone jacket (officially titled the Peak Lapel Razor) from when it first arrived in store a few months back. We could tell there was something special about this jacket from when we first unpacked it, the way it feels, the way it fits... it was a little more expensive than usual ($1535 at regular price). The inside label says Hand Tailored, the finishing details on the inside are incredible... essentially, this jacket makes my mouth water, it's so amazing.

But, delivery season was crazy, and we wanted to find out more, but until now, we didn't.

This garment was made in Brooklyn, USA, at a garment manufacturing plant owned by a man named by the New York Times as "a tailor's tailor": Martin Greenfield. Very famous by those in the know, and for good reason. This factory produces the highest quality (mostly mens) suiting produced in the United States today by all accounts. Band of Outsiders and Rag&Bone both have him produce items for them, and the odd U.S. President (seriously). And no wonder, he has been in the business his entire life. A holocaust survivor, he moved to New York all alone at 16, and started working for GGG Manufacturers. He worked his way up, and eventually bought the company in the 70's.

My friend who works at Rag&Bone said it best herself after taking a tour of his factory:

"His two sons gave us a tour of the 3-floor factory in Bushwick, from design, to cutting, to pockets, to sleeves, to pressing, to button holes, etc, etc. They said that one suit goes through 108 steps and people, for a total of 18 hours of work. The sleeve itself goes through something like 20 steps. They steam after every single step, creating the shape and the "memory" of the suit."

Hearing that, to me, always reminds me why quality clothing, while more expensive, is totally worth every single penny. So, my heart is breaking that we have it on sale, 40% off to $921.

One of my top three favourite blogs is the one written by Todd Selby, and I was thrilled to see that he had been to the factory and documented what he saw for all of us! Check out his post here:
