Picture Perfect: Hunting Season

Few days ago, Shot by LoveLost invited me to his studio and collaborated on a fashion editorial. Because both of us are photographers, this final product has the best of both worlds.

The theme of this editorial is about the relationship between hunters and preys. We portrait the preys as lost souls because some of the hunters love to disguise themselves and hunt these animals down. At the end of these hunting games, the lost souls will arrive at a different world, whereas the hunters will continue to be the kings of the food chain. In these images, can you define the preys and the hunters?

For this series, I have chosen accessories from Canadian designers Breeyn McCarney, VAWK, NobelSole, Krane and Baffi Collection to collide with Alexander McQueen, Valentino, Louis Vuitton, Brooks Brothers, Bench, G-Star Raw, Cor Sine Labe Doli and Cole Haan. In my opinion, this is one of the best shoots I have ever done!

Who says Canadian designers are not good enough in the International fashion hunting ground?

Object of Desire: BAFFI Pocket Squares

The modern man needs modern accessories. Let us introduce BAFFI, the fun non-traditional pocket square company from Canada. Made of wood, held in place with a magnet and designed to be worn in multiple ways, the BAFFI pocket square is truly a unique accessory for the dapper gent.

Being a fan of getting the most out of our wardrobes, we took a single sports coat and BAFFI-fied it. Next we mixed and matched in some shirts and ties to produce three distinct looks while touring downtown Toronto and sticking these fun pocket squares just about everywhere!

Calling this nifty little item a square is something of a lie. Designed with a slanted edge on one side, the square has a more traditional look when placed in your pocket. Flip it upside down and let the rounded corner side show for a more contemporary look. Want to be daring? Let the slanted edge go in different directions each time you wear it and this little guy is one versatile wonder.

The BAFFI wooden pocket square comes in a plethora of options. From colourful camo and stripes, to sophisticated paisley and dressy polka dots, to fun loving juicy citrus fruits and one of our favourites, the timeless solid wood Noce, the BAFFI collection has more options than you probably have places to wear them!

Want something a little extra special? BAFFI offers a custom service. Order a customized one just for yourself, get a group of personalized squares for your wedding party or go all out and get corporate squares for your entire office or special event. The sky is the limit with custom BAFFI pocket squares.
