Justine

(Justine is a lovely model from Montreal managed by Next Canada. Of course, it is all subjective, but I simply like her vibe, not to mention those incredibly long eye lashes!)





(Next Canada (from where these images were sourced) first opened its doors in Montreal in 1999, before opening a second office in Toronto in 2000. With top models like Yasmin Warsame, Renee Lacombe, Vanessa Perron and Santa Auzina, Next quickly became Canada’s preeminent modeling agency. Update: Photographer, Carlo Hindian; Hair & Makeup, Amelie Ducharme and Styling, Sophie Lanza. Keep returning for more news on Canadian models!)

Canadian Fashion Designer - Jeremy Laing

(Canadian-born and Toronto-based Jeremy Laing's art is self-taught, combining organic and geometric approaches to pattern making and construction. His talent was honed while studying in Toronto, on exchange at Westminster University in London, and through an apprenticeship with Alexander McQueen. Following his apprenticeship, Jeremy worked freelance developing showpieces for five of McQueen's collections, demonstrating his strength in innovative pattern making, garment construction, and the use of textile to create form. Jeremy's collections often stem from his elaborations on simple principles of construction and form, drawing simultaneously from couture and tailoring traditions.)

The Fashion Time Magazine

(I just discovered an amazing fashion blog, The Fashion Time Magazine, run by two award-winning journalists/bloggers: Kamola Navo of Uzbekistan and American Mister Ghost. The following images were taken from their blog, featuring July photo spreads of Vogue Australia, W Magazine and Vogue Japan. Enjoy.)
