Moranic Pants Versatile Pants

Moranic Pants – a fresh and exciting new fashion brand creating pants that are perfect for the summer months. 

Moranic Pants are breathable, reversible cotton pants which are designed to be loose fitting, comfortable and stylish. Whether you’re hitting the beach, enjoying a music festival or taking some time out to do some meditation or yoga, Moranic Pants are the ultimate in comfortable clothing for the modern trend-setter.

The pants are incredibly versatile – not only can you reverse the pants to show off different designs, they can also be worn as shorts as temperatures rise.  Moranic Pants are the very essence of simplicity, providing a comfortable and fashionable garment that adapts to the wearer.

The product is currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign launching on June 1st which is aiming to raise enough funds to put them into full production and get them into shops all over the globe. Backers of the project will be rewarded with their very own pair of Moranic Pants in whatever colour or size they choose – before they hit the shops!

Moranic Pants are inspired by the word ‘Moran’, a Masai term which means ‘warrior’. The Moran typically lived a life of total simplicity, which is where the inspiration for Moranic Pants comes from. They express the style and personality of the wearer, but they’re lightweight and comfortable enough to wear every day, for any activity.

Five Must-Have Trends to Get Through Summer

Summer is fast approaching, and fashion-lovers will be on the lookout for ways in which they can add the perfect garments to their seasonal wardrobe. We’ve put together a list of the top five summer essentials that everyone should get their hands on before the mercury starts to rise…

1. The Classic White Shirt
The perfect unisex option. The white shirt can be dressed up or down, and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so whether you prefer a fitted shirt or something a little more flowing, there’ll be something for you. Men – pair yours with slacks and shades for the quintessential summer time look. Ladies – take the white shirt from day to night with a slick of red lipstick and heels.

2. A Comfortable Shoe
Summer is for long walks, picnics outside, bike rides and more – it’s the season where we’re all slightly more active! So it’s likely you’re going to need a pair of comfortable shoes to see you through. Men – get your hands on a pair of boat shoes for those long afternoons wandering around local parks. Ladies – grab a pair of espadrille sandals, which will cushion your feet and look fantastic.

3. Versatile Pants
With so much to cram into summer, you don’t want to spend hours choosing outfits or changing clothes. Moranic Pants are the ideal option, for both men and women. Made from the finest ethical materials and sporting unique tribal prints, these pants are great for wearing during the day, and even at night – but they also double up as sportswear, meditation wear, or recovery wear as you relax after a particularly good night!

4. Ladies: Summer Tea Dress
This is one for the ladies – the perfect tea dress will see you right through the summer. Ideal for reclining in a sun-soaked park or relaxing with friends by the beach, a tea dress is a stylish, timeless classic with a multitude of design options to choose from.

5. Men: The Vest

Standby for the vest to be the biggest summer trend for men! They might not be appropriate to wear to the office, but when you’re cycling in the hills, doing some yoga on the beach or relaxing with friends, the vest will be your new best friend. Team with Moranic Pants for the ultimate in comfort and style!

BESTIVAL 2015 Costume Festival

Festivals and costume parties have become synonymous in the U.K. but it hasn't always been the case. Ten years ago BESTIVAL challenged its audience to attempt a world record for the biggest ever dressing up party and, with the help of a willing crowd of super-creative party loving people, they  changed the face of festival culture forever, sparking a huge UK-wide renaissance in what they call fancy dress. Now, as the BESTIVAL story unfolds into new worlds, they are coming to Toronto, and they need you to help them make this the mother of all parties.

BESTIVAL curator Rob da Bank says: “We do love dressing up at Bestival and have seen the most incredible creations over the last dozen years at Bestival UK. There’s something about dressing up and letting your hair down that seems to make people drop their guard and just escape for a while. So it’s not about a plastic Elvis quiff and microphone from a cheap store, it’s more about wearing something you wouldn’t wear anywhere else, but kinda want to anyway! Equally if it’s not your thing come as you are….just come :)”

 Over the years BESTIVAL’s themes have become world renowned, never failing to fire up the crowd’s imagination. From Pirates to Outer Space and HMS Bestival to the Desert Island Disco, rallying 55,000 fashionistas in the art of dressing up, they are the catalyst for incredible audience creativity, and a weekend of un-self-conscious joy, forging a shared experience that is truly unique to the event. For our first-ever foray abroad we thought we’d give Canadian Bestivalites free rein to get those creative juices flowing. The reason we wanted to come to Toronto in the first place is because we know how original and inventive you are; it’s open house on fancy dress, so show us what you’ve got!

But be prepared because it’s not just BESTIVAL-goers who push the boat out, the performers love a bit of a costume party, too. From Mumford & Sons’ fetching musketeer look, and Lily Allen’s glittering Barbarella, to Florence Welch’s space age flapper, the all-embracing love for costume-based high-jinx takes the festival vibe to another level of unadulterated hedonism that can’t be underestimated. Music festivals in North America see an abundance of their own kind of “fancy dress,” with dance music culture allowing music lovers to express their individualities through eccentric outfits. Embrace the BESTIVAL costume party and get creative! Be whoever you want to be! Take a look at some images from previous years in the UK here: http://bestival.ca/photos/costume-gallery/photo/1

So make sure you grab your fancy dress and take the party even higher when you come to see Florence + the Machine, Nas, Flume, Caribou, SBTRKT (DJ), Banks and more at Hanlan’s Point Beach, Toronto Island on June 12 and 13.

We’ll have more news coming your way, meanwhile, keep checking http://www.bestival.ca for all the latest info

Off-Aisle by Kohl’s

Kohl’s will test a new store format offering deep discounts on returned merchandise.

The retailer has leased a 30,000-square-foot space in a suburban strip mall in New Jersey that will open early next month as Off-Aisle by Kohl’s.  More specifically the new store will be situated on a high-traffic street in Cherry Hill, NJ.  For those of you that are not too familiar with New Jersey, Cherry Hill is not too far from Philadelphia.  

In the beginning, the plan is to fill the shelves will be “like-new” clothing, accessories and home goods returned to Kohl’s department stores or Kohls.com.  Who knows, maybe they will add slow moving merchandise from the other stores into the mix in the future.

The firm applied last month for a trademark on the phrase “Off Aisle by Kohl’s.”

We are not certain, but we have heard rumor that discounts may run as high as 70% to 90% off original retail store pricing.   All sales will be final, with no returns or exchanges allowed.

If you enjoy shopping off-price, you may want to also learn about how Macy’s recently decided to get into the off-price fashion business as well.  You can read the Macy’s Off-price news on the Fashion Blog.  Their store is called Macy’s Backstage in case you were curious.

We will try to let you know more about Off-Aisle by Kohl’s as we learn more about the store.

CHARRIOL Global Jewelry Collection

CHARRIOL, the global prestige brand of luxury timepieces, fine jewelry and accessories, is bringing its global jewelry collection to the U.S. for the first time ever. Featuring CHARRIOL’s iconic and unique twisted cable designs, the collection, which is designed by the company’s New York-based Creative Director, Coralie Charriol-Paul, will debut at LUXURY during JCK Las Vegas, May 29-June 1. Inspired by Coralie’s French-American heritage and flair, the new jewelry collection captures the spirit of the brand with modern, sleek designs that enable women and men to make a bold statement with everyday jewelry. The collection is also a perfect complement to the brand’s existing timepieces, which are currently available across the country. New watches will also be unveiled during JCK Las Vegas. 

“We are thrilled to bring our global jewelry collection to the U.S. for the first time,” said Coralie Charriol-Paul, Creative Director for CHARRIOL. “This is something completely different for CHARRIOL in the U.S. – we are offering new, fresh designs that are anchored in our exclusive twisted cable, which is the essence of the CHARRIOL brand. We want women and men in this country to enjoy what our international customers have prized for years: conceptual jewelry with a European heritage.”

Carrying on a family legacy launched in 1983 by her father and the company’s founder, Philippe Charriol, Coralie has spent the last 10 years designing more than 15 jewelry collections, including best-sellers such as “Crazy in Love,” “Forever Young,” “Kimono,” “Bamboo,” “Kucha,” “Pom Pom Pearl,” and “Circle of Love.” Her design philosophy is grounded in fashioning pieces that empower modern women to create their own signature style. The new jewelry collections being showcased at LUXURY during JCK Las Vegas include flagship lines “Forever Young Colors,” ”Banglemania,” and “Tango.”

Forever Young with Fresh, Playful Colors

Evoking a fairy-tale-meets-rock mood, these new colored bangles and rings are framed by rose gold or black in 10 rainbow shades that echo the urban-folk trends that continue to be featured on the runways. One of CHARRIOL’s most popular jewelry lines, the Forever Young bangles come in a narrow cuff style, and the fresh new shades add a dash of French chic to any outfit. Colored cables in pale blue, peach, pink, navy blue, violet, and pistachio green are teamed with rose gold for a fresh look that will enliven any outfit, year-round. Bracelets edged with black are a canvas for cables in fuchsia, cobalt blue, green, or charcoal in the brand’s most modern interpretation yet of its signature motif. Small CHARRIOL insignias in rose gold or black discs add a final sophisticated stamp to these stackable bracelets.

 

Stack It with Banglemania

The trend for bracelets, cuffs, and bangles is here to stay, and the bangle has become every woman’s go-to accessory. Add a personal touch to shirts, blazers, work-wear, and beautiful evening dresses with CHARRIOL’s stackable, collectable Banglemania designs by mixing and matching CHARRIOL’s Forever Young, Tango, and Celtic designs. Twists and cables, torques and cuffs, colored or monochrome, wrapped with wires or plainly elegant, adorned with stones or embellished with hearts and clasps, slim or broad – there are six variants to choose from in a spectrum of tones, including silver, bronze, black and gold.

 

Do the Tango

Entwined like two lovers on the dance floor, Tango takes its inspiration from the passionate Latin dance, represented by an intricate embrace of gold-plated cables, sparkling stones, and contemporary hammered silver wires. These handcrafted pieces are embellished with exquisite yellow, green, and red stones, which add flashes of color, like a flamboyant tango gown. Wear the ensemble of earrings, pendant necklace, ring and bracelet together for a glamorous look, or singly to add a dash of dramatic interest.

 

Complementing the new global jewelry collection, CHARRIOL will also showcase the brand’s newest timepieces, including designs by Visual Director Alexandre Charriol, at LUXURY during JCK Las Vegas.

 

St-Tropez™ 35mm is Out of This World

A special new style of CHARRIOL’s popular St-Tropez™ timepiece for women, this larger 35mm size offers a beautiful canvas with unique lunar calendar functionality, embellished with a rich mother of pearl dial, in tribute to the shimmering lunar mood. With a polished bezel engraved with the CHARRIOL lettering and the iconic cable bracelet strap and security clasp, this watch is available in steel, yellow, or pink-gold-plated PVD, offering a light, dreamy feel married with exquisite details and a mystical spirit. An extra special diamond variant is also available, with either full moon diamond bezel or glittering eclipse diamond design.

 

St-Tropez™ Style – Match it –  Clip it – Style it Your Way!

Inspired by Saint Tropez, one of the most glamorous resorts in the French Mediterranean, CHARRIOL’s iconic and much-loved St-Tropez™ watch with feminine chain-link bracelet and CHARRIOL detailing can now be infinitely customized thanks to a selection of 10 interchangeable bracelet chains and charming matching clips. Reflecting true personal style, the chains – in delicate rose gold or silvery-toned steel and contrasting materials including steel, mother of pearl, and precious stones – are adorned with playful motifs, from animals to hearts and angel wings, which can be changed so women can accessorize to suit the mood or moment.

 

Alexandre C Art Edition – Reveal Your True Self

Just like a unique artwork, the Night Masks Collection is a highly personal new range designed by international artist Alexandre Charriol himself. These new timepieces reinterpret CHARRIOL’s signature Alexandre C model and come in a limited series of just 500 pieces, each signed by Alexandre. Inspired by Alexandre’s collection of paintings, “Human Flow,” the watches reflect Alex’s own insights on how we interact in society, the “masks” we sometimes wear, and the liberating effect of the night. Free-form images of human faces are etched onto the dials and are direct replicas of Alex’s global exhibition. With four color-ways of steel, charcoal, bronze and blue, the watch is a unisex large size of 40mm.

 

Alexandre C – The Essence of CHARRIOL

In 1984, Philippe Charriol created and named a timepiece after his first son, Alexandre. Over the years, the design has evolved, and is now in its third incarnation. This stylish signature timepiece, with its endearing story, embodies the values of the CHARRIOL family: determination, style and success. Quintessentially CHARRIOL, the Alexandre C collection carries all the hallmarks of the brand: fine watchmaking expertise, attention to detail, and the iconic CHARRIOL cabled bracelet strap, or alternatively, our new and contemporary smooth, chain-link strap. Available with the CHARRIOL lettering around the bezel or a full diamond bezel pavé, as well as mother of pearl or guilloche dials, roman numerals, or diamond counters, the range offers a wide variety of styles, making these classic timepieces perfect for couples to wear and pair together.

 

Step up the pace with the Automatic Chrono GRAN CELTICA™ SuperSportS

The new men’s GRAN CELTICA™ SuperSportS timepiece, which introduces a more streamlined look for the brand, is a limited-edition release in an exclusive series of 30 pieces. CHARRIOL’s GRAN CELTICA™ SuperSportS is a high-performance, sporty and stylish watch with a strong allusion to motor sports and the brand’s deep ties with sports car racing. The brand’s founder, Philippe Charriol, is a keen racing car driver and the brand enjoys a long tradition of motorsports sponsorship. In keeping with the passionate inspiration behind this watch, the GRAN CELTICA takes on a sportier allure as the traditional cable strap is swapped out for a sleek, stainless steel chain-link bracelet.

 

CHARRIOL jewelry and timepieces will be showcased at LUXURY Booth #LUX607A during JCK Las Vegas.
