19M Is Chanel’s New Jewel of French Creation
In Aubervilliers, a northeastern corner of Paris, is the new complex housing Chanel’s Métiers d’Art ateliers.
The 2021/22 Métiers d’Art collection was presented at 19M, the new creative hub devoted to protecting the heritage of craftsmanship. Located in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, 19M is home to 600 artisans: embroiderers, feather workers, goldsmiths, shoemakers, milliners, glove makers, embroiderers, tanners, and leatherworkers.
Urban Summer: The Return of Nineties Streetwear
Skate style.
Nineties fashion is back, and with it has come the return of skatecore. It was in the 1990s that skateboarding turned from niche to mainstream and widespread adoption of skate culture and fashion took place. Today, the look is on trend once again with major designers and brands embracing the skater style—Malik Walker takes to the Vancouver streets.
Eliurpi’s Sculptural Hat Design and Artistic Extravagance

Good quality, bad company.
With recent editorial features in Vogue and Nylon, Antoine Manning’s apparel brand Homage Year is on the come up.

Neapolitan Sprezzatura Comes to Toronto
Isaia.
Occupying the old Pink Tartan storefront, built in 1867, Isaia has found a fittingly idiosyncratic space in the fashionable Bloor-Yorkville neighbourhood. A contemporary addition to the building’s rear heightens the square footage, and in the lounge on the lower level one can enjoy a drink while master tailors tend to their suit’s every need.
Sartorial Prose: A Collage of Equilibrium
Beauty entangled.
Bound in stasis, the poem of the body gathers energy. Through entanglement and repose, the clothing appears to wear the body as lovers meet, new possibilities emerge as the garment takes over, and limbs disappear in a collage of equilibrium.
