MORE TO IT
MORE TO IT
It’s rarely just fashion. What about strategy? What about the meaning? What about the person wearing it? See, for me, there’s more to it.

We *Still* Need To Talk About Size Inclusive Dressing on the Red Carpet
How is it that one designer’s name continues to come up when we hear about red carpet size-inclusive fashion? Thank Beyoncé that we have Christian Siriano because he is doing the bare minimum – making clothes for all sizes of glorious women – and somehow that’s the most.
Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Fashion
I’ll be the first to admit that when it comes to most sports I’m at a bit of a loss. It’s not for a lack of trying. I played sports as a kid, joined rec leagues in university, and am a season ticket holder for the Stampeders.

Cultural Appropriation on the DSquared2 Milan Fashion Week Catwalk
Shame on you DSquared2, shame on you. Twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten must have been absolutely nonsensical in their new brand’s presentation at Milan Fashion Week. It was, “partly inspired by Canadian Indian Tribes.” They initially named this collection “DSquaw.” I take issue not so much with the collection itself, rather the description and launch of it. There appeared to be no consultation, collaboration or basic human respect for the communities they were “inspired” by. Since the much deserved backlash, the purposely used hashtag #DSquaw and #eksimeaks were removed from the brand’s social media accounts. They were replaced with #DSquare but the damage was done.
