EVENT REVIEW: THE SWAP TEAM 2012

When I first received the invitation from Vanessa Erickson, Co-Director for the Calgary Chapter of The SWAP Team, to style outfits for the Spring 2012 Lookbook, I was very hesitant. My experience in styling is minimum and has been developed solely for my personal style. Who knows if it would translate well with other peoples’ [...]

THERE’S STORIES TO BE TOLD OF GYPSY FRIDAY 29 : 03 : 13

SONY DSC

Dear Style Queens and Daughters of Chic,

We all dream of that retail sanctuary, a space where it’s just you and the clothes ready for any situation: work, dinner, the dancefloor or just because, come rain, snow or shine. Well, we’ve found it in Gypsy Friday, every girl’s dream walk in boutique.

This chic new addition to the First Street strip is a dainty hotspot featured within The Gallery’s new location at 1314 – 1 St. S.W. The blend of the two boutiques gives Gypsy Friday its idiosyncratic edge.

Front woman and buyer for Gypsy Friday, Jaimee Slifka–Butalia’s unique presentation of Calgary’s latest buzzworthy boutique allows for its guests to immerse themselves in the laces and silks that adorn the racks of Gypsy Friday. Guests can shop without distraction even though featured within the distinctly men’s street-wear store The Gallery.

The pair-up between the two stores would seem unlikely, however, Gypsy Friday and The Gallery meld together beautifully catering to both male and female shoppers in a fresh and palatable way.

“Aisling Tomei and Pearl Tsang are 2 of Calgary’s leading women in the media so to be up there discussing what we do and to be able to showcase fashion to the city on that level, well you know…that’s just an unbelievable amount of  social “klout” we have just gained as a reputable source for fashion news in this city. That’s what it’s all about!” exclaimed our confidently cool EIC.

EXTRA EXTRA – BEYONCÉ TO RULE FURTHER AS FACE OF H&M SUMMER CAMPAIGN 22 : 03 : 13

Beyonce

“The face of H&M’s summer campaign will be the global superstar Beyoncé. She will be wearing pieces from the H&M summer collection inspired by her style. It was shot on the beaches of the Bahamas and features both a print campaign and a commercial.

“I’ve always liked H&M’s focus on fun and affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements — fire, water, earth and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial,” says Beyoncé.

Beyoncé has worked with the in-house design team at H&M to create the perfect pieces for the heat of summer. Included in the collection are also garments – among them a tie-dye bikini – 25 per cent of sales of which will be donated to H&M for Water. H&M’s initiative with WaterAid has so far raised £2,650,000 since 2002.

The campaign images were shot in Nassau, Bahamas by photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, while the commercial was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and is shot like a music video. It will be available to view online in its entirety, with edited versions for TV.”
