As beautiful as photographs are, getting the full effect of how a piece of clothing moves can make a world of difference.  On that note, here's a video of the runway show debuting our F/W '10 collections. It's edited to one of our favorite songs - Bonjay's "Stumble". In fact, the Toronto electro/dancehall duo performed live at our F/W '10 Runway shows last month.

Our F/W '10 collections have arrived in stores and, could it be, we're actually looking forward to cold weather?  One of the most desirable things about chilly temperatures is dressing up in Fall layers and all the mixing and matching goodness that entails - it's amazing what a beautiful piece of clothing can do to banish those winter blues.

Perfect way to start planning your wardrobe for the months ahead?  Take inspiration from the latest online lookbooks of our exclusive labels TNA, Talula, T.Babaton, Wilfred, Wilfred Free, and Le Fou by Wilfred - each a click away for your sartorial viewing pleasure.

Whether the runway models were donning short flirty skirts, military cargo pants or flowy romantic maxi dresses, these tracks were played for walking...and that's just what they did.  Rory Them Finest developed the soundtrack for our FW '10 Runway show -Play it, download it or share it from our Soundcloud player above.

The Den, located at our Pacific Centre flagship in Vancouver, has unveiled its latest makeover.  Inspired by vintage objet d'arts, the current installation takes notes from the concept of "A Conservatory at Dusk".  Antique birdcages, Victorian park benches, stuffed peacocks, chandeliers and exotic plants call to mind a different era - one of eccentric collectors, inventors and artists.

In keeping with the theme, miscellany was sourced from around the world.  Look for traditional Turkish "Fouta" linens that can be used as a towel, blanket or throw, nostalgia-inspired stationery, totes and pouches from O-Check Design Studio in Korea, soy candles crafted from 100 percent organic essential oils by Montreal's Casa Naturotherapie and delectable toothpaste by Marvis from Italy.  Also, The Den is the first location in North America to receive the entire series released by Penguin Classics of ten classic novels featuring hardcovers designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith.

*The Den at Bloor Street is now open too!*
