Oh Canada!

When discussing Canadian fashion - I'm the first one to admit that it's a bit of an oxymoron. With many a mountain or long stretch of The Prairies separating the major cities, good fashion is sometimes hard to come by. That's not to say that there aren't some bright lights -- new designers such as Erdem and Jeremy Laing are fighting for the cause however, when I envision people thinking about Canada I assume they must picture plaid hunting jackets, puffer vests, hiking boots and fur hats.

So - when Teen Vogue pulled out all the stops and produced an editorial such as this one! Well I just had to say something!




Plaid flannel jackets - $24.95 at Canadian Tire, Down-Filled Puffers - $89 Mark's Work Warehouse, Rainwear - Mountain Equiptment Co-op $90.

So the next time someone tells you Cananda doesn't know anything about fashion -- you can now disagree.

Only one thing... there are an awful lot of plaid and puffer jackets and fur hats here, even if they are of the fashionable variety. I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same, eh?

Sorry to be commenting on an older post, but I just adore your cynicism. I also love that you're Canadian like me :D
