Self-Isolation Diary: How Smythe’s Designers Are Co-Running Their Brand During Quarantine

May 06, 2020 at 03:17PM With people around the country now in Week 8 of self-isolation, FASHION is reaching out to some of our favourite Canadians to get a peek into how they’re living their lives in lockdown (remember: #StayHomeSaveLives). Each week, keep an eye out for new self-isolation diaries from actors, designers, athletes and artists who are riding this uncertain time out with us. This week, we’re hearing from Andrea Lenczner and Christie Smythe, co-founders and designers of womenswear brand Smythe. The two are self-isolating in Toronto in their respective homes, faced with the challenges of running a brand while social distancing, maintaining team morale, grappling with an uncertain future and more. Here’s how they’re doing it. How are you running your business from home? What sort of routine works best for you?  Andrea Lenczner: We started with daily conference calls that became daily Zoom calls that became 3x a week Zoom calls. They happen at 10am while the kids are on-line learning. I have been moving around the house trying to figure out the best work “station.” I’m in my third (and hopefully final) spot in the kitchen. Christie Smythe: I take all calls from my car since my house is open concept and it’s the only way to ensure focus and quiet. Everyone is used to seeing me on video calls in my car with a toque on. Last week, I even did my quarterly shareholders meeting from the car. I also started a daily COVID work

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Just Introduced Us to the Coolest Minimalist Brand

May 06, 2020 at 12:23PM Here at Who What Wear, we monitor Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s style very closely. Whether she’s championing the latest bodysuit by Khaite, or expertly pairing her must-have Bottega Veneta mules alongside the brand’s sellout clutch, you can guarantee we know (and have probably written an article) about it. That’s why we were particularly excited to discover the model’s latest brand obsession: Low Classic. In a recent Instagram upload, Rosie posted nine new outfit photos—five of which included a piece of clothing by Low Classic. How’s that for an endorsement? The model seems to have a particular affinity for the brand’s outwear, as she was pictured wearing a utility jacket, a beige blazer and a leather blazer by the brand. In fact, the utility jacket was featured in multiple outfits—worn open, zipped up and belted. Naturally, we decided to do a little digging and track down items by the brand ourselves. Turns out the Seoul-based label is stocked on Browns, Farfetch, Moda Operandi and more, and also happens to be a lot more affordable than Rosie’s other favourite labels, such as The Row and Bottega Veneta. Keep scrolling to see how Rosie has styled her Low Classic jackets, and then shop the brand’s outerwear below. Next up, the biggest S/S 20 fashion trends you need to know.

Adele’s Birthday Dress Is From the Coolest Under-the-Radar Brand

May 06, 2020 at 11:00AM Fair play to Adele, she doesn’t often use social media and post much about her life but when she does, boy do we notice. Just a mere six hours ago the singer shared a picture celebrating her birthday (it was yesterday) and wore one of the coolest dresses we’ve seen in a while—definitely a spring/summer 2020 trend. A little bit of investigation led us to discover that the mini puff-sleeved frock is by lesser-known designer brand Elzinga. While Adele opted for an LBD, the brand is actually packed full of bold colours from sunset oranges to pinks and lime greens. It’s unsurprising when you consider the origins of the label—it was created by Amsterdam-based musician and performer Lieselot Elzinga and the line is inspired by live performances. The trademark silhouettes incorporate voluminous styling with puff sleeves on dresses and blouses, tapered-leg trousers and oversized poplin shirts with big pussy-bows. While Adele might not have posted anything in nearly five months, she’s already made an impact to our wardrobes. That, dear reader, is how you do it. Keep scrolling to see Adele’s look, shop her dress and then see the full Elzinga line.  Next up, the biggest spring/summer 2020 fashion trends you need to know.  Author Elinor Block | Whowhatwear Selected by CWC
