Street Style, Designer Edition: Steph Hung
Once every month or two I hope to switch things up a bit and focus Street Style on a local designer who crosses my path. Steph Hung is the first designer I've decided to feature.
Her clothes are reinventions of something old made into something new. Although this isn't a new idea, I think Steph's designs show great imagination and attention to detail.

I really think blogTO should close anonymous commenting. Set-up a registration system where people have to give a valid email addy to comment, because there's nothing positive, useful, or enhancing in any of these comments. Not to say we should be censoring criticism, but this is just ridiculous.
And to Jack: Re: wearing spandex pants with "crooked legs". As someone who works with bodies and anatomy, I can tell you that she looks like she is a little over-extended in the knees. This is very common. It's structural (as in, that's the way her skeleton is) and no amount of working out will "fix" this. I have over-extended knees myself so I know first hand.
Back to the Fashion: Great job BlogTO, and props to the designer! :)
Don't pat yourself on the back too hard, there's a reason none of you are remembered without the tired 'internet-bitch' angle.
Sure, but expect to be as dead as Torontoist with their clunkyass commenting system.
There are a small number of people who revel in being mean, a few others who say snarky things, but it isn't the majority of commenters. If it bothers you then start deleting the worst posts (jacks).
1. No, they're not kidding. They put together a blog post. And who the hell is "Fashionist"? Are you a professional blog post commenter?
2. 'Oh my f***ing lord', indeed. Let's see now. Between the 'people wear this here' thing and the Parsons reference, I'd say Jack wants us to think he's from New York, or has at least been there once, and knows how much better NY is than T.O. Because he's got the same complex that every desperate, wannabe cognescenti from T.O. has about NYC. I am from New York. I've lived in both. I am writing this here in New York. My friends went to Parsons, and they would think these clothes are cute. Not mind-bending, but nice work. So Google another school and stop trying to sound informed. You don't have a clue what you're talking about. T.O. knows what it's about.
3. The clothes are cute. If Gavin McGuinness said that one of these pictures gave him "boners for miles", you'd be fawning over them. Maybe you're a vitamin-D deficient, internet-masturbating rube. I don't know. Sorry, that was rude. You're probably 13 years old. God, I'm so sorry. You're probably really fragile. Seriously, don't kill yourself just to prove a point to your parents.
4. Her thighs are gorgeous. Her legs are beautiful. Boners for miles, indeed."Crooked thighs"? Humans are not seagulls. Seriously, man, enough with the internet porn.
5. "Acid wash is not ironic, hip or fashionable." DS, you're obviously 47 years old. Only a 47 year old Mississaugan father of 3 would say that. Just because your daughter left her laptop open doesn't mean you should start fooling around with it.
6. That's all. So if you're fat, have bad skin, your friends are crap, and some bitch in high school who had nice clothes and was lucky enough to be as pretty as this model made you feel worthless, I'm sorry. I really am. Because the exhilaration of anonymously battering creative people on the internet will not fix you. Chris Martin will not fix you. I know, I know. They're just a name and a face on a screen. But they're actually real people who do things, unlike you, who doesn't do anything. You know that rut you're in? You'll never get out of it. Ever. You'll just keep combing blogs, looking for a hydrant to piss against under an alias. But nobody cares. Nobody reads your comments, except for me, and I don't care about you. I just wanted to set a precedent. I know how you're feeling, and yes. You're stuck being you forever.
You made this whole post worth while reading.
hehe.

I can't say I love all the looks, but I love certain pieces - hello, capelet - and that's kind of the point of the feature. I'm surprised at how many people want to shut out everything that doesn't match their own tastes perfectly.
These clothes are not my personal taste, but it's interesting to see what other people are doing and wearing and creating.
the negative nancys need to peace out and find some other outlet for their anger.
Not my style, but I love where you're going with this. Would love to see the array of designers we have in our city :)
