London’s next project will be sure to put her on the map and showcase her acting abilities. The title character, Jane Doe, played by Veronika London (Showtime’s “Body Language,” HBO series “Lingerie” and our lovely product model!) is a young prostitute and heroin addict found by paramedics laying on the street in a pool of blood. She is the victim of a violent altercation which leaves her with a severe head injury. Stricken by amnesia and struggling with her heroin addiction, she is on a quest to discover her identity, but most importantly who did this to her and why. Along her quest she comes along several characters from her past and the clues to the answers she seeks slowly come to light, revealing many horrible truths. With this information, feelings of curiosity quickly turn to a thirst for retribution.”Jane Doe” goes into production in January 2010 with principal photography lasting 30 days. The majority of the film will be shot in Toronto, Canada with additional scenes to be shot in Los Angeles.
And while you are waiting for this movie to be finished and released, be sure to check out the JUZD Shop as we will soon be selling our fall/winter collection, for which Veronika modeled.
I have heard many times before that Toronto is slow with fashion, that Toronto follows other cities. I didn’t know what this truly meant but it was fun to joke about it.
I was quite surprise on my visits to stores in Miami that the managers actually told me the time the buyers would be in and how to see the buyers. In contrast to Toronto where the staff and even the buyers try whatever they can to avoid you.
Buyers in Miami were happy and excited to see the JUZD line. They are friendly people.
But this all makes sense you see. The world and people in Miami look to Miami to set trends. The best new lines strive to have their lines sold in Miami and only the best survive out there. While in Toronto, the lines that approach the stores are local lines and the majority of these local lines are not good and don’t go much further than a few Toronto stores.
And the world and people are not looking toward Toronto for trends. People in Toronto want to go to a Toronto store and buy lines that are popular in LA, New York, and Miami. Torontorians don’t go into stores in Toronto looking for the latest and hottest Toronto brand. You can see this from the buying of stores like TNT and Over the Rainbow. The one store that supports local artists is Got Style. I hope with the success of JUZD more artists from Toronto take starting a clothing line more serious and determine to compete like they do in LA and New York.
On Friday October 17th 2008. JUZD Streetwear had its US debut during fashion week at one of the fashion capitals of the work, Los Angeles. Sharing the spotlight was two other LA based lines, LRG and Factory Girl.
Performances include DJ ?uestlove of the Roots and Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. DJ for the event was DJ Irie, personal DJ for Jamie Foxx, Pepsi, and Miami Heat.
The event was supposed to be held at the much talked about Versus club in downtown LA but due to last minute issues it was moved to TaTou also in downtown LA.
