Nicola Formichetti of Thierry Mugler visited Toronto’s The Room at The Bay on Tuesday, November 17/11, alongside his creative team & women’s designer Sébastien Peigné. Nicola is not only the Creative Director of Thierry Mugler, he is also the creative consultant for Uniglo, fashion director for Vogue Hommes, Japan and celebrity stylist responsible for the elaborately outrageous album & video style of super star Lady Gaga. That’s quite an impressive resume for a 34 year old who’s budding career has really just begun.

I had chance to chat with him (along with my Fashionably Yours‘ boy JayStrut) and on top of being super talented & undeniably sexy, he was exceptionally gracious and humble.

OUTFIT: Proenza Schouler Blazer, BCBG neon blouse, Armani Leather pants, Hermes Constance Belt, Hermes Red Kelly Bag, Hermes Collier de Chien, Hermes Clic Clak, Hermes Cage D’H Necklace, Christian Louboutin Leopard Daf Booty

Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez (below) hosted a sweltering hot party at The Room at The Bay on Wednesday night, in celebration of their Fall 2011 Trunk show held the next day. I passed through and mingled amongst my fashionable peers in a sweaty room filled with industry regulars. I wore a one of my favorite Proenza blazers to represent for the occasion. This amazing textured puff short sleeve blazer has been sitting in my closet just waiting for me to give it some play.

OUTFIT:

Last night, I attended a cocktail reception at The Room at The Bay, to preview the 2011 Spring/Summer Collection of Thakoon. I got up close & personal with Thakoon Panichgul, the Thai born, New York based designer, who is known for blending distinctly different influences into his work with a talent for intricate feminine details and a recognizable wit in his designs. Perhaps why he has such a high-powered fan base including Natalie Portman, Demi Moore, America Ferrera, Sarah Jessica Parker and the U.S. first lady Michelle Obama, who wore a floral dress by Thakoon on the evening Barack Obama accepted the 2008 Democratic nomination for president. No big deal.

Thakoon and I chatted about the world of blogging and the influx of blogs in Canada and about the now powerful influence blogs have on fashion and trends. We joked about Twitter and his lack of updates (yes, he controls his own Twitter!). I encouraged him to tweet more often to keep his online fans inspired. And then we discussed Seoul, Korea, my homeland and apparently all of the fantastic shopping I’m missing out on out there. I must take a trip out there one day soon. I’ve never been. It’s always so refreshing to meet down to earth talent amongst a world of fashion pretension, as it is to visit my favorite Room at The Hudson’s Bay. I look forward to the next event.

Meet Stacey Caldwell from Thakoon. I was drooling over her fabulous khaki green Thakoon jumpsuit. I need it in my life.

This Thakoon knit cardigan is so fabulous. It might just have to be mine.

Visit The Room at the Hudson’s Bay and browse the racks of the luxurious Thakoon Collection, available now.

Last night I attended another fabulous event at The Room at the Hudson’s Bay, this time for the appearance of designer Thakoon, but before I go any further I just have to get these off my chest. I got a little side tracked by these amazing Charlotte Olympia Blue Metallic Platform Pumps, exactly the pop of color I need in my wardrobe. Retails for $950.

I wore this outfit to the ‘God Save the Queen’ event at The Room (The Bay)  and Audi’s Art of Progression Event at Brick Works and although I was severely under dressed, I pretty much just wanted a reason to wear the YSL Palais Block Heel platform boots I discovered at the Tommy Ton shoe party. Holt Renfrew called me a few days ago to tell me that my shoes arrived and that there was a very limited quantity available, so I snagged them as quick as I could get there and am I ever glad I did. It’s not like I need another pair of black platform wedges but they were just too cool to pass up.

I’m wearing…

October 14, 2010

Last night, Toronto’s Fashion elite got dressed to the nines to attend “God Save the Queen”, a private soiree hosted by The Room (@Hudson’s Bay Co on Queen St), quickly becoming my one stop shop for luxury fashion attire. It was fun bumping into so many fabulous and stylish friends and familiar faces and thrilling to see men & women get decked out for this unique event which was a celebration of some of Britain’s most talented designers, including Nicholas Kirkwood, Charlotte Olympia, Marios Schwab, Giles Deacon, Erdem, Mark Fast, and Jonathan Saunders. To be honest, I just wanted to shop, not mingle. lol. I’m sure you’ll be seeing thousands of photos from this event because the room was filled with press and bloggers, one in the same these days.

Bumped into Tommy Ton again from Jak and Jil blog and I just happen to be wearing the YSL Palais Block Heels he photographed for the Pic Me event at Holt Renfrew.

Lisa Tant, Editor-in-chief for Canada’s Flare Magazine.

Ryan J, creative director of Filler Magazine and one of the models I dressed from my first ever fashion show I styled in 2002!

Publicist Kevin Pennant looking dapper.

My homie Paul Benoit, make up artist from the TV series Celebrity Look-a-Like.

A transparent clutch by Charlotte Olympia, the perfect clutch to show it all off.

And now for the shoes…the highlight of my night. I’ve decided that I want every shoe in the Charlotte Olympia Collection. She understands my platform shoe fetish like no other and has incorporated a joyful abundance of color into her collection that makes me happy.

Yes, I would dare wear these. Dear Charlotte, please send me these when you get a chance. xo
