Whilst I was in Vancouver this past July, my friend Alex Waber, invited me out for lunch at Bestie and a quick photo session!




Back in 2012, I met Alex while interning for Vancouver Fashion Week. We were shooting street style together, and he even let me use some of his photo's for some post fashion-week blog posts ( see here .) After I left Vancouver to go to Toronto, Alex and I stayed in touch through various social media apps and when I came home for a bit, he was eager to take photo's of yours truly.

Normally I'm on the other side of the cameraman. Being photographed was an interesting experience. Having the attention on you, the lights, the click of the shutter, it was thrilling! Another thing I love about Alex is that he's an excellent director and if the shot isn't just right, he'll make you get back into the awkward position you were just in, just this time with fingers spread and eyes open.

Thank you again Alex Waber Photography for such an amazing experience, take a look at some of the shots he took and let me know what you think friends!

This evening my girl Tomi and I headed for  fashion, food and festivities.

First we headed down to Little Italy to see Jose Duran at the Peach Gallery. First off the gallery is beautiful, The Greek art as a backdrop for this seasons collection was a wonderful idea. Beginning his label in 2008 Duran has been at the peak of composition and moxie since his first collection. The Dominican designer equips himself with fascinating materials and unleashes artistic innovation.

For Fall 2014, the look is inspired by Jose Duran's idea of the 1920's school boy. Rugged but feminine pieces styled with thick military boots, gives a graceful juxtaposition of young and old. With the greek statue pairings as foreground the entire showcase was marvellous.
