FASHION - Home decor never looked so haute. Home décor company Korhani has turned its decorative carpets into haute couture at Toronto's Fashion Week Monday this week. The manufacturer based in Toronto and creative director Kirsten Korhani repurposed its rugs for the runway, showing off Mongolian rug inspired capes, studded pants and regal looking gowns all using a rug as a central part of the design. This is actually the third time the company has pulled this publicity stunt, but it is still eye-catching. “We’re trying to evolve, make it better, make it more interesting,” says Kirsten Korhani. “We have to step it up every season.” Korhani says the new collection has a wider selection of garments with “more diversification” in style and construction. In the past Korhani’s off-beat shows have raised the company’s profile, so it just proves fashion can also be good publicity.

FASHION - On Saturday night I went out to a pub and I saw two separate guys wearing suspenders. Since then I've been noticing it more. I saw suspenders yesterday and today at the bank I saw a woman wearing suspenders. What the heck? I want suspenders too now! They certainly provide a nice alternative when you can't decide on a belt to wear. What struck me is how classy and sophisticated they looked. And honest and hardworking at the same time. Its a nice look, a bit retro, but very kewl. Its official. Suspenders are back in fashion!

FASHION - My friends and I think cowboy hats are coming back into style. We think its because of the film True Grit but maybe its just a cyclical thing. (We also think the film 'Country Strong' might have something to do with it, even though we HATE that film.) Shown here is a Stetson black cowboy hat. Stetson was the inventor of the cowboy hat and is still considered the best company when it comes to making cowboy hats. (Like Levis inventing jeans.) The thing about cowboy hats is that they can be quite stylish, while simultaneously looking adventurous. To show you what I mean about how cowboy hats being stylish I've collected some images of various celebrities, athletes, supermodels and fashion models wearing cowboy hats. I think the mere fact Emma Watson is wearing a cowboy hat signifies it has gained a wider acceptance as a fashion item, similar to how fedoras, swisses and hamburgs are so popular right now.

FASHION - A friend of mine in Toronto, a guy, wants to make tuxedo with a hoodie so he can wear it to art galleries and be (without a doubt) the kewlest dressed person in the room. I admit, fashion conscious heterosexual men are a rarity, but I can say "You go man! You da man!"
