Very informative video on how to repair your denim. If you have a denim that you like don’t take it to any tailor because they can do more damage.

Here is our last of a series of videos from the SIFE Ryerson Fashion Show “White Noise”.

This interview is with the organizers Robyn and Diana who worked till 3am this morning to get this thing going. Good work girls!

Yo guy, fashion fans. This is MoVernie! How’s it going yo? Did you enjoy my first ever fashion video blog with designer Meghan Erin? If you like what you are seeing, keep on following. This week, we are showcasing our second episode of our fashion video blog with designer/singer-songwriter, Jay Manara and along with his crew at the Ryerson Fashion Show.

During the show, Jay got to get up the stage to share his stories to his success as a designer/singer, sharing his experiences with other up and coming designers who are chasing their dreams and goals. It was a very inspirational and motivational speech. He placed emphasis on being creative, continue to believe and chasing the dreams but at the same time, being able and willing to listen to feedback and constructive criticism to get better with the work and be able to listen and improve on the collection. Being able to balance the financial budget while carrying the passion for designing clothes are key. Designing is an important element but also being able to run the business with profit and being able to bring food to the table are also important in a day-to-day operation.

During the show, Jay also showcased his collection. In his collection, you will see a heavy influence of tattoo art and rock music culture. The brand is owned, operated and run by people who have lived and breathed the tattoo and rock music lifestyle for many years.
Rock Parlor believes in the individuality of people and design, and strives to deliver unique pieces that will make you want to rock (and I truly believe his collection is definitely make you rock!)

Until next time, MoVernie is outta here! Stay tuned for more fashion video blogs and be sure to check out FashionStyleBlog.com often.

Meghan Erin Interview: Ryerson Fashion Student

MoVernie and D’Crew attended the SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise) Ryerson Fashion Show at Ryerson University. The theme of the evening is called “The White Noise”, encouraging the attendees to dress up in style with white colour all over. As I interviewed the project managers in one of the interviews, they said “White” reminds them the beginning of the winter, with white snow as the theme of the show. As you know, MoVernie is always dressed in style and love various themes, so I wore a nice white suit, followed with a sharp, hot-pink scarf along with my signature white patterned fedora.

In this fashion show, we got to see the various clothing collection designed by the Ryerson Fashion students, showcasing their creative minds and their artistic skills. I got to interview and mingle with the project managers of the show, the designers, the models, entrepreurs and much much more.

All the interviews will be shown here at the FashionStyleBlog in different episodes, so be sure to check back often to check out my interviews with the designers’ collection and check out the latest fashion trend for 2011.

First off, check out this video of MoVernie interviewing fashion designer Meaghan Erin, who talks about the inspiration of her clothing line, the use of fabric and material and her upcoming projects design. Stay tuned and MoVernie is outta here!

Many wouldn’t consider leaving their jobs during a recession, but brothers Mike and Dave Radparvar did, and then student, Fabian Pfortmueller, contributed time to the building of a company that sought to do more than just sell clothing. With consumer, producer, and Earth in mind, Holstee delivers socially conscious designs to the public, as well as donates 10% of all revenue to empower third world entrepreneurs through micro lending.

I caught up with Dave at the Holstee office to get an exclusive on the company and its endeavors. Check out the video below:
