Dots[Connection]: The Surface of Toronto Fashion Week Part 3

Yesterday 2 illustrators went to 3 shows to do some live runway sketches. The menswear illustrations by Ben Liu are very addictive and Benjamin Edward's style always makes me think the illustration is actually moving.

Trendology: Klaxon Howl x Hudson's Bay F/W 2011 Collection

One of my favorite things in the Klaxon Howl F/W 2011 collection is this collaboration!

Since Klaxon Howl is selling at the White Room in Hudson's Bay in Toronto right now, I am not surprised the brand is doing a collaboration project with this brand. For this coming season, this capsule collection will consist of 4 products and they are the 8 point vest, 8 point jacket, backpack and Duffle bag. As you can see, the bags will have the signature HBC color stripes and the jacket and vest will have a grey and black tone. I am personally attracted to the vest and jacket since the design looks unique to me and I know these 2 pieces are durable wears. What's your take on this capsule collection?
