Duplicate Design

Duplicate Design by Athina Jamieson is always super sharp and design HEAVY. Her aesthetic takes from 80s new wave and punk, but always has a very feminine look and feel about it. Her applique work is done on American Apparel items, but she also reuses materials to create original pieces, such as this leather bag (repurposed furniture leather). All the bags are one-of-a-kind, the tops and dresses get a size run (one small, medium, large and xlarge).
While supplies last, you get a free pair of vintage 80s earrings when you purchase a Duplicate piece!

The Rage Rides for Aids in Africa

We love getting stupid in here, so hey, even better when it's for a cause as huge as the Aids problem in Africa. The Stephen Lewis foundation set up an amazing nationwide campaign called 'A Dare To Remember'. The concept is for people to come up with an idea then collect sponsors who 'DARE' them to execute. Jack Layton did some busking on the Danforth, KAOS went back to his old job at the toy department at The Bay.....I thought it'd be fun to put on an elephant-like get-up for a day, then charge around downtown on my board for a bit!

On Dare Day many customers learned of the campaign and some chucked in pocket change (thanks guys!) The ride was a blast (ALWAYS is), I do love confusing people! I think many were unsure as to whether they were witnessing the lamest thing of all time, or the coolest heh heh.

The goal was to raise $1000 for the foundation, as it stands at this very second we're at $719!! So much love to all the friends, family and customers who pitched in, it's been such fun!

Goddamn it's cold out........

Right around the clothing show every year we get a load of new items, by Paperpeople Clothing especially....this year the delivery includes the line's classic boat neck shrug (remade sweaters), remade men's corset vests and sale sweater dresses! We also received an obscene amount of reworked cardigans (a bargain at $45ea.!)

I love wearing my shrugs over tshirts with a tie or suspenders. Dress shirts are always hot and look great with the corset vest as well.

Of course all the new goodies demanded fresh display space, so 'a product shufflin' I went. I'm still getting used to dealing with corners...in the old space there was really only one corner, and we stuck the mini shoe shelves in there. Back to the old 'one step at a time' (heh heh); it'll get figured out. Rainy days aren't so bad, they allow us the time to freshen up the place so it's new for your next visit!

Enjoy Nuit Blanche if you're going!! xo
