Some heart graffiti found just outside of Kensington Market in Toronto
Hello all! It is officially Spring!! I saw the Canada geese fly overhead about an hour after my last post! It was very magical. These days I am gearing up for Spring Thaw this weekend!! It is an indie-Artisan fair happening Sunday, March 28th at the Routhier Community Centre (272 Guigues Avenue, 10am-4pm). There will be lots of artists there and I am looking forward to seeing what they are up to these days. Sugarbum will be selling dresses and the like all ready to add sparkle and light to each Spring day. It is going to be a blast!!!
In other news, I am still getting caught up on what has happened on the runways this past February (which is only okay in an ironic sort of way since I am already catching up on Fall 2010). And speaking of getting caught up with fashion, I am still processing the loss of Alexander McQueen. Since his passing I have seen the September Issue (a documentary on Anna Wintour and the making of the hefty September issue of Vogue magazine). The documentary shows part of the funeral service of Isabella Blow who was a close friend with Alexander McQueen (not to mention Jean-Michel Basquiat). It is insightful to see the fashion world mourn. They are creative people and are moved deeply, like majestic Elephants with the passing of one of their kin.
Spring is an interesting time of death and rebirth ("April is the cruelest month" to quote T.S. Eliot). It is an in-between time where the veil between the dream-world and the real-world seems even more transparent. Interestingly, I am not the only one who is feeling such an apparent unsheathing and juxtaposition of the two worlds. The Mulleavy sisters of Rodarte have also expressed this feeling in their Fall 2010 collection. You can see a Wonderful depiction of the Rodarte Fall 2010 runway show at the tents in New York on Tavi's blog (my absolute fave): Tavi's blog
With Love, Light and the magic of Spring.
XOXOXOXO
