News * New

hi, I'm Rachel (PR freelancer, ex-fashion school student and founder of TSF.com). I started the blog way back in 2005 (before there was barely anything about Toronto fashion online) and spent many really fun years documenting fashion and street fashion in Toronto!

I recently had my second baby boy and my days of fashion parties, designer shows and frivolous shopping are but a happy memory. I still work a little on the blog, do other freelance writing and PR when I can!

So, please don't feel offended if I haven't responded to your E-mail, party invite or store opening. I do pass invites along to other bloggers though and we try to cover what we can!

Thanks for reading!

Vintage Fashion Art Prints and Posters

December 3rd, 2010 | posted by Rachel S | Posted in Art

What do you get for the person who has everything? Everyone has everything so this question gets more tricky each gift-giving season. However, something that hangs on the wall is an idea – it doesn’t take up much space and doesn’t add to people’s clutter.

I found these on allposters.ca – an awesome site with thousands of art prints and posters. Another great idea for prints and posters is museum stores.

Call for Designers, Artists: FAT 2011

December 3rd, 2010 | posted by Rachel S | Posted in Call for Entries

DEADLINE: DECEMBER 22, 2010
LATE DEADLINE: JANUARY 9, 2011

Toronto Alternative Arts and Fashion Week |FAT| is looking for contemporary fashion designers and visual artists to showcase their work in the upcoming festival in April 2011. The theme for 2011 is “Fashion Schematics” exploring the messages, systems, schemes, symbols and concepts inherent in the notion of fashion, through photography, video, fashion design, performance, installation and music. The festival will look at the ways we create visual dialogues and make sense of the world through fashion and creative expression. “Fashion Schematics” will examine how we build the systems in which we function, the strategies we use in creating our identities and the messages we convey through codes, currencies and narratives.

Starting this month, those who are interested in participating can download applications at: www.getfat.ca

We are currently accepting proposals in:
FASHION DESIGN / INSTALLATION / MUSIC / PERFORMANCE / PHOTOGRAPHY / VIDEO
