I love a good magazine. However as I mentioned here last week – there are very few stimulating and worthwhile publications which bother a read.
Then there is HOBO magazine. It is a true lifestyle magazine. Art, fashion, photography, film, music, travel, interviews and environment are all categorized in a symphony of cacophony. I mean this in the most sincere way. Because usually all these subjects would be daunting and messy and poorly organized – casting shallow glances over whatever is new a la every other major magazine. But this is not HOBO.

I first discovered HOBO by way of a friend a few years ago. I was happy to hear it was Canadian. She told me it was a travel magazine. Which is true if you consider the very act of reading it as a traveling experience. Yet it is so much more. Although I could cover the breadth of people, place and things included in each issue, I would rather you discover it for yourself.

Ain’t that the truth.

Odessa Paloma Parker recently started PLAID magazine – an online sanctuary for those dedicated to full spectrum clandestine design. Let’s face it – there are sufficient outlets in the magazine and online world covering the surface level of fashion and style. So what’s refreshing about PLAID is it’s focus on what I’m not hearing about anywhere else. Odessa hasn’t limited herself to one area of the design world. Her focus is to cover boutiques, designers, accessories and style icons ranging from haute to bas, local to foreign and cusp to proven.
Three print editions will be released throughout the year making this magazine a little more limited and a lot more special.

Colin Asuncion is a wonder man. He is pound for pound the best entertainer/artist/scholar/general person around. He performed in a production of West side story last year and promptly stole the show.
As per this photo, he’s pretty rad. Imagine our excitement when he invited Erin and I as guest judges in the SENSO SMC charity fashion show at U of T. It’s always a pleasure to support events for charity – this years funds going to help Haiti relief – but it was just as great to be on the same stage with Colin and enjoy the fun .
Here we are judging the competition along with Colin. It was a fantastic night – I highly suggest you attend the next one!
Above is a bit of the interview done with Erin about a month ago. Go to the below link for the full interview.
AW’10 photoshoot video. It’s a short little piece. Erin’s husband Patrick shot it for us on his iphone (?) I could be wrong about that. The video features a moment captured during the shooting of our lifestyle looks.
Erin and Pat went to a family farm outside of Toronto a few weekends ago and cut down a few small trees. Pat cut the branches off and learned how to erect a teepee of sorts via the internet. He did a really great job! He just sort of brought the trees in and *pop* they were in place.
Felix Wong shot the catalogue for us and he did a WONDERFUL job. He was a true professional and had a great ipod mix of songs from the hit sitcom “Glee”. He and Erin Dunn, our model from Elmer Olsen enjoyed singing along while taking breaks in between shots. The ‘other’ Erin (a la Las Valentias) and I had no idea what the big deal was with these songs as neither of us have seen the show. Regardless, I’m glad we had such a great day.

We shot our AW’10 catalogue a few weeks ago.
Kubo was our gracious model for part of the shoot. Erin’s husband Patrick trained her so well!
We had such a mello day, good music, great people.

Suzzi from Parlour salon did our hair and makeup for us. She did an amazing job and was a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a stylist – she’s available at parloursalon.com – best salon in Toronto for those in the know!
We can’t wait to share the full collection with you all soon!
