OpINIONS EDITOR
The ashion world, or most, is in
the realm o mystery.
To an outsider it appears to be
a glamorous world illed with couture designs, runways and photo
shootsthe reality, as Stephanie
Connell, ashion designer at Lon
donbased D’Lane Fashions ex
plains, it’s much less glamorous.
“It’s really tough and you’ve got
to grow a very thick skin. The rea
son I say this is because not every
one out there is pleasant.”
For those who think the ruthless
ashion experts are a myth, think
again. I you don’t have passion and
skills to succeed, your stint in the
ashion world won’t last very long.
“There’s so much work you have
to do to get yoursel out there that
you have to have enough heart to
[keep] yoursel going when nothing
is coming back to you,” Connell says.These are harsh realities, but
the uture or aspiring designers is
not entirely bleak. There are sev
eral steps aspiring designers can
take to better their likelihood o
succeeding.
Education
“I think coming here got has been
extremely helpul. I would never be
at the place I’m at without school,”
Kelsey Marsh, a thirdyear ashion
design student at Fanshawe Col
lege, says.
For a rare ew, the skills o the
tradesketching, pattern making,
sewingcome naturally. For others,
like Connell, one skill may come eortlessly, while other technical as
pects may not.
“I had no sewing background,”
she admits. “The only background
I had was drawing.”
In the ashion design program
at Fanshawe College, students be
come wellversed in all aspects
o the industry. From illustration
classes to business classes, the cur
riculum attempts to prepare stu
dents or the world o ashion.
“Going into the industry, i I
didn’t have any o the knowledge I
got rom the program, I’d be lost,”
Connell says.
Learning the skills is an essential
irst step, but once the skills have
been acquired, it’s up to the individ
ual to take initiative.
Build your portolio
Sometimes people get lucky and
their dream job alls right into their
lap, but or most, achieving their
dream takes hours o hard work.
“Even beore they graduate,
they should be getting involved in
the industry, building their portolio
and networking,” Connell advises.
“It’s such a long process o working
your way up the ladder.”
Networking is key in the ashion
industry, and as Fanshawe’s ashion
design program coordinator Leigh
Ann Waller explains, remaining in
the good books with ellow peers
might be useul down the road. She
suggests designers always be looking to make connections with mod
els and photographers.
“It’s unnyjust some random
connection you have that’s in the
ashion industry can get you an op
portunity,” she says. “You can’t just
sit in a bubble in London and think
that things are going to come to
youyou’ve got to get out there.”
For some, getting out there
might involve moving to a new city.
“London is kind o conservative
[…] there is a small niche market in
London that would kind o go or a
young designer, but I think it would
be a lot more diicult than say i
you moved to Toronto or Vancou
ver,” Teresa Veerkamp, thirdyeardesign student, says.
Establishing yoursel
in the industry
As a new designer, you can’t sim
ply recycle old looks. Finding a par
ticular market and illing a need is
crucial when trying to establish
yoursel.
“Lots o people complain that
there isn’t enough creativity in Can
ada and that we all do the same
thing. You need to ind what market
you’re going ater and be unique,”
Waller says.
Although Connell agrees that it’s
important to distinguish yoursel,
sometimes standing out too much
can work against you.
“Unortunately, people ind too
much creativity scary in the indus
try, you have to be wellrounded,”
she says. “People in the industry are
looking or somebody who is going
to be able to work, not just some
creative mind.”And even i a new designer has
developed a niche product, inanc
ing the entire thing might be the
biggest hurdle o all.
“Finding a job is diicult enough,
but actually starting your own
label, your own collection, your
own brandthat is very diicult
right out o school because o the
money,” Waller says.
Building a business
Beneath the creative side o ashion
is the lesserknown business aspect.
“To really have a solid business
background we actually encourage
a lot o students [to ind] a good
business partner,” Waller says.
But or Rebecca Deaville, creator
o the label Nekrotic, ater working
in the industry or several years,
starting her own business was the
next logical step. Ater completing
a twoweek introductory business
course, Deaville built her business
plan and consulted the CanadianYouth Business Foundations Pro
gram or a loan.
“They loved my product idea,
they loved everything about what
I wanted to do with my business
Nekrotic,” she says.
Although trying to break into
the world o ashion is a long, hard
road, Deaville encourages aspiring
designers to ollow their passion.
“Don’t give up on the dream and
just keep doing it.”

Staying stylish this all Dos and don’ts or rocking your own look
Cam Parkes
ILLUSTRATIONS EDITOR
Beauty is only skin deep, looks aren’t
everything, don’t judge a book byits coverall that’s well and good,
but when you’re walking down the
street, people’s irst impression
o you is ormed on your physical
appearance.
Most people only have to worry
about one stylemale or emale.
Gabriel Fillion, however, is a drag
queen in Londonand this means
he has to be on the cutting edge
o both male and emale ashion.
Here’s his invaluable advice or
guys and girls on how to look great
this season.
Guys
DON’T be sloppy
For males, Fillion says you can getcheap clothes without being sloppy.
“The jogging pants and sweaters
are very comy, I know, but seri
ously, that’s so 2003.” He says vin
tage is coming back into style. One
o the articles o clothing you might
not think to wear is an old “grandpa
sweater”they’re comy, warm and
give you lots o room to breathe.
DO find a good pair o pants
The next step is to ind a pair o
pants that doesn’t make your pack
age the centre o attentiontight
isn’t a great look or many people.
Fillion says that “just because we
cannot see the ‘boys’ down there,
doesn’t mean they’re missing.” Typi
cally, he says itted, straight or ca
sually striped pants make a better
statement.
DON’T compartmentalize
Fillion says you want to make your
outit seamless and aesthetically
pleasing. Instead o compartmen
talizingthat is, shirt, pants, shoes
all separatecreate an ensemble
that lows. This could mean adding a scar that draws the eye rom
your ace to your shirt, or a belt that
blends your shirt with your pants.
“Being stylish does not take away
rom your masculinity,” says Fillion.
“Relax, you’re still a man i you look
abulous.”
DO spice things up
Generally the same style tips apply
to both hetero and nonheterosex
ual malesone diference is that
nonheterosexual men might eel
more at ease jazzing up their look
with scarves, brilliant shoes, vintage
shades and glamorous hats, Fillion
says. “Remember, we’re gay, not
dead. Use colour.”
Girls
DO dress or your body
Floral dresses are in, but accordingto Fillion you have to be careul
this style can be amazing, or ter
rible. “Make sure they express your
personality,” he says. “There are a
whole bunch o pretty dresses out
there, but there are only some that
look good on you.” Fillion advises
making sure that the way the dress
alls on your body, the colour and
the length show of your assets.
DON’T be too plain
No matter how good an outit looks,
a little accessorizing can always add
some lavour. I a dress is too plain,
add a belt to it. Make sure the colours
match, but don’t go overboardjust
because colours do match doesn’t
mean you have to wear them.
DO watch your silhouette
With winter coming, Fillion says it’s
important to be aware o your sil
houette. “Big lufy boots and a big
lufy coat can make you look like
a poodle,” he says. “Don’t let your
clothes take over.”
dON’t be afrai o layer
Each layer is like a new outit. Fillion
says don’t be araid to layer upyou
may eel a bit bulky, but treat the
street as a runway and you’ll rock it.
You have to plan each layer out, so
that i you strip one of, you still have
that wow actor.
Big lufy boots and a biglufy coat can make you
look like a poodle. Don’t
let your clothes take over.

ARTS & LIFE EDITOR
It’s a universal truth that a student
in university will eventually have
to be interviewed or an intern
ship position or another orm o
employment.
With such emphasis on personalappearance, ashion can provide
students with the edge they need
to get employed. “The standard still
exists or dressing proessionally
or a job interview or internship po
sition,” said Jennier Caron, a career
counsellor at Western’s Student
Success Centre.
The ocus on dressing proes
sionally is quiet similar or both
men and women. “When I say pro
essional, I mean a suit and dress
pants. For women, it’s the same
thing; either pants or kneelength
skirt, some type o blouse and a
jacket,” Caron says.
However, dressing ancy is some
times not going to be enough to be
considered. Caron stresses the importance o considering both the
business and the individual’s per
sonal style. “It is important to dress
in what is comortable or the indi
vidual. I you have a certain style,
you want to make sure that style is
evident in whatever it is that you are
wearing. At the same time, you want
to make sure that you are dressed
proessionally, in a way that relects
the organization’s style and your
own as well.”
Bringing in a proessional style
or job and internship interviews is
only a small part o inding employ
ment, however, it will deinitely get
an individual’s polished shoe in the
door.
Dressing or success
I the dress shoe fts…Cam Parkes
ILLUSTRATIONS EDITOR
There comes a time in every man’s
lie when he must cast aside his
comy slipon sneakers, pack up his
liplops and acquire a pair o dress
shoes. We can’t tell you when this
day will come, but we can help pre
pare you with some advice or step
ping into your irst pair o “big boy”
shoes.
Back in black
The irst pair you purchase should
be black—a ormal, versatile colour.
Dark brown is a good colour, as
it can go with any outit except a
black tie. Generally, a man should
have three or our pairs o dress
shoes that he can rotate through,
but you can gradually build up your
collection as your budget allows.
When you’re not wearing the shoes,
they should have a cedar shoe tree
in them to help keep the shape, ight
stinky shoe syndrome and make the
shoes last longer.
Keep ‘em clean
Brush away dirt ater every wear.
You should also shine and polish
them when neededsuch as ater
a nasty jaunt in the rain or snow
or ater wearing them three times.
You’ll also want to weatherproo
them i you live in an area that gets
a lot o rain and snow (head’s up
you do).
It’s all in the fit
Beore purchasing, make sure the
shoes it. It seems like an obvious
thing to say, but i you’re trying on
a particularly nice pair o shoes
that are on sale and they’re just a
tiny bit too small or big, you may
be tempted to buy them. But, i the
shoes aren’t the right it, you’ll get
blisters, and no one wants that.
Splurge when you can
Don’t immediately go or the cheap
est shoes. In act, it’s better to spend
more, because you get what you
pay or in terms o quality. You can
ind a airly good pair o dress shoes
or anywhere rom $100$500. That
may seem like a lot, but the shoes
will last you about 10-15 years with
proper upkeepand that’s a pretty
good price.

Boutiques have fair, edge and nostalgiaOwner Sue Glass’ stores have been London fxtures or over 15 years
Maddie Lezno
DEpUTY EDITOR
Women’s clothing boutique Lolita,
located on Richmond Street, eels
like a trendy New York shop withits boudoir atmosphere, glitzy jew
elry and racks o ormal dresses.
Frilly Lizard, ound a bit urther
downtown on Talbot Street, carries
bright, patterned items and chan
nels a boutique rom eras past.
Both stores, as well as pop cul
ture nostalgia shop Commander
Salamander, are owned by London’s
Sue Glass, and none were created
on a whim.
“Since I was 11, I already had the
concept in my head,” Glass says.
“Frilly [Lizard] is my original con
cept. It’s a little quirkier, a little more
raw, it has a little more edge to it.”
Ater its opening in 1994, Glass
says people asked her to open a
store on the Row, so she nabbed the
space she had always loved on the
corner o Richmond and Kent, and
Lolita opened its doors in 2006.
While Lolita carries higherend
clothing lines like BB Dakota, Kersh
and more recently TFNC—Time For
New Clothes, a line rom British
store Topshopas well as a wide va
riety o accessories, Frilly Lizard car
ries more afordable lines like Vero
Moda and Parasuco. Commander
Salamander ofers novelty and vin
tage jewelry, dresses and toys.
Glass explains she’s constantly
looking or new lines and products
to eature in her stores, but says
new designers oten approach her
because o her reputation.
When it comes to trends or all
and winter, Glass names sweater tu
nics and belts as musthave items
and emphasizes the importance o
accents.
“I like big jewelry. I’m a jewelry
and accessoryaholic,” she laughs.
Customers o all three stores notonly value the unique merchandise,
but also the atmosphere o the indi
vidual boutiquessomething that’s
hard to come by when shopping at
the mall.
“For me, it’s really important. I’ve
modeled the stores and customer
service around what I expect and I
would like to see when I’m in other
stores. Visually, it’s really impor
tantthe store has to eel good, has
to low and ixtures have to work.”
A happy shopping experience
comes down to great help as well.
“All my girls love to work with
and dress the customers,” Glass
says. “There’s no better high than
someone leaving with a abulous
outit or piece o jewelry.”

Get Lovesick or vintage ashions on Richmond
Jesica Hurst
ARTS & LIFE EDITOR
For a lot o people, shopping sec
ondhand is no longer a second
choice. Vintage or “antique” cloth
ing stores have been around or
years, but the movement has been
picking up speed since older trends
are coming around ull circle, and
not everyone can aford to buy ev
erything new.
For Kimberly Petrie, owner o
Lovesick, a vintage and handmadesecondhand store on Richmond,
vintage ashion has always played a
huge role in her lie.
“My irst involvement with vin
tage ashion was probably when
I was around thirteen years old,
maybe even younger,” Petrie ex
plains. “I gained this love or every
thing old, and when you can be that
young and go to a garage sale with
ive dollars in your pocket rom your
grandmother and get a ur coat and
a pair or shoes or somethingthat’s
how it all starts.”
Ater discovering Kensington
Market and King Street West in To
ronto, she realized that people actu
ally own secondhand stores wherepeople go and buy great, unique
clothing items. From there, she
knew that this is what she wanted
to do.
“[Lovesick] is my irst vintage
store, but this is the second loca
tionwe were over in Wortley Vil
lage or three years until we opened
here in the beginning o August,”
she explains. “I’m so happy to be on
Richmond Row nowit’s quite busy
in this location so it keeps the en
ergy level high.”
Although the prices are lower
and Petrie gets new items in every
day, she explains that not just any
one can pull of vintage ashion.
“There are just some women
who don’t have the conidence to do
it,” she says. “They should, because
they totally could and would look
awesome, but there’s just a certain
conidence level you need to have
to stand up straight when wearing
great clothes. I you put a great belt
on with a burlap sack and you think
you look awesome, you will look
awesome.”
I you do want to experience
vintage ashion and have the conidence to try out something new,
there are deinitely a ew beneits
that come with shopping at Love
sick, including a 13 per cent discount
or all students.
“So much vintage clothing is
homemade, so it’s made with love,
and adds so much style,” Petrie ex
plains. “The longer the pieces have

As a university student on a bud
get, urbishing your dorm, room or
apartment into a unctional yet attractive space can be a challenge.
Apart rom not being able to paint
the walls in dorms and rental homes
or apartments, most students have
a small budget and small space to
work with when renovating. How
ever, ollowing these simple tips will
make any place into a stylish and
unctional room.
1) Start with a colour theme. Since
most student spaces don’t allow
students to paint the walls, tie in the
colour theme with the bed covers,
curtains, cushions and accessories.
I the empty walls are still boring
you, use wall art or removable wall
decals instead.
2) Use vertical space through book
shelves and loating shelves to cre
ate the illusion o a bigger room.
Storage boxes are ideal or putting
away miscellaneous items which
don’t belong anywhere. They can
be stacked on top o each other or
placed under the bed.
3) Use a wallmounted table as adesk to save space. It can be olded
away neatly when not in use and
make the space look bigger.
4) Since small spaces do not ac
commodate big couches easily,
think about using beanbags, loor
cushions and stackable/oldable
chairs or stools or seating. Using
colours that complement yourroom’s colour scheme would dei
nitely add to the room.

Any creator—be it a che, ashion
designer or artist—can tell you it’s
all about presentation. While most
people pay a great deal o attention
to clothes when they’re on the body,
the same can’t always be said whenthey’re of. Instead, laundry baskets
and loor clothing storage systems
are oten avoured over hangers
and drawers, leaving clothes wrin
kled. However, with many stores
specializing in closet organization,
there’s no reason that even the
smallest space can’t be meticu
lously organized.
Hangers
Hangers have come a long way
rom their wire roots and, according
to Andrew Sullivan, store manager
o Solutions by Masonville, using
the right kind o hanger is essential
when organizing your closet.
“I you’re looking to organize,
oten the same style o hanger ismore compatible,” he says, adding
hangers by the same manuacturer
are more apt to it into one another.
Material is also key. Wire hang
ers can stretch out clothes, whereas
plastic, wood and rubber are better
at keeping clothes intact and on the
rod.
Boxes
In order to maximize space, Sul
livan recommends installing stor
age boxes or garment shelves to
add room or olded clothes. These
shelves typically hang down rom
the closet rod and are made o ab
ric, whereas storage boxes can be
added to closet loor space. Boxes
are a better idea when storing out
oseason clothing, he says.
Shoe Storage
Forego the Rubbermaid mat and
switch to some incloset storage
when lining up your shoe collection.
Overthedoor cubbies or shoes are
always a cheap option, while larger
plastic boxes can be used or storing
individual pairs. To add some extra
chic to your closet, stores like Solu
tions sell inserts or boots, ensuring
the tops don’t lop over when stack
ing them on shelves. Or you can go
the thrity route and use rolledup
magazines to prop up your boots.
Little Extras
I you’re running short on space, Sul
livan advises using one spacesav
ing method known as the “dublet.”“When organizing a closet, there
are ways to double the closet rod,”
he says, pointing to the device.
“It hangs over your existing rod
and gives you a second level o
hanging.”
Jewelry organizers are another
option that can be stowed away in
closets. Jewelry trees and drawer
inserts are options or keeping your
necklaces neat and your bracelets
beautiul.
Maximize your closet Small can be beautiul A little bit o colour can go a long way
