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.

— Gabriel Fillion

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

lasted, well, it says so much or an

item o clothing. Everything here

is priced accordingly, and still my

prices are so reasonable.”

Lovesick is located at 723 Rich

mond St. For students, all prices are

tax included.

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
