We Talk With The Costume Designer Behind the Clothes on To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before
Netflix’s summer feel-good teenager rom-com, To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (aka my new favourite movie), taps into a mortifying teenagers’ nightmare: having your secret love letters mysteriously delivered to their recipients. (Yes, more than one recipient.) It’s like a teenage version of drunk texting your Tinder date, then having to face them the next day. Lara Jean Covey (played by Lana Condor) finds herself in this particularly cringe-worthy predicament when five boys – including the school’s most popular guy, as well as her older sister’s ex-boyfriend, receive her Shakespeare-worthy love letters.
Lana Condor as Lara Jean Covey in To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before
Based on Jenny Han’s young adult fiction novel (young adult means it’s okay I enjoyed it, right?), the movie depicts complex characters that feel real, that are easy to connect with and that you actually want to be friends with. Plus, their wardrobes are a perfect blend of inspirational, but relatable, especially Lara Jean, who might be this season’s new style icon.

“Lara Jean is such an interesting cool character that really brings a variety of different worlds together,” says Rafaella Rabinovich, the movie’s costume designer, over the phone from Vancouver. She was in the middle of an Aritzia warehouse sale shopping spree – for a new project – when we called. Rabinovich based Condor’s signature style on the ’90s retro revival and added a hint of romance to it. “I really got lost in the world of Modcloth retro-vibes Instagram,” says Rabinovich.

“One of the beautiful things about working from a book is that there is a visual statement that everybody can take wherever they want to take it,” says Rabinovich. This helps explain why she took style cues from the novel’s fan base to build Lara Jean’s relatable, and quite iconic, closet. “I really looked into the worlds of what the fans loved. I could really see how they own vintage and romance.”
On-screen that meant dressing the actress in striped turtlenecks, a-line button up skirts, flirty printed dresses, sneakers with high knee socks and an adorable heart-shaped necklace. Her retro-yet-cool aesthetic is best captured, when Lara Jean heads to a house party (with her fake boyfriend) in a a little black dress adorned with a white Peter Pan collar, amazing platform brogues and a baby blue bomber layered overtop. The essence of her costumes are so relatable because many garments were actually purchased in the same stores where real teenagers shop : Forever 21, Simons, Aritzia, H&M, Urban Outfitters, Asos and, obviously, Modcloth. Rabinovich also revealed her not-so-secret Vancouver vintage troves where she found some of the characters’ garments : Burcu’s Angels and Mintage.

“I think that costumes help in creating trends,” says Rabinovich. So, is LJ the new teen style icon? With her vintage Etsy combat boots, her yellow beret and her flirty velvet maxi skirt, she might be launching a new retro-urban trend.

ICYMI: Science Says Alcohol is Bad, Cheese is Good
According to a new study, no amount of liquor, wine or beer is good for you. So much for that whole ‘a glass of red wine a day’ thing.
According to the study, published last week in medical journal The Lancet, alcohol was the leading risk factor for disease and premature death in men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide in 2016. The team behind the report culled data from nearly 700 global studies that examined the consumption of alcohol in various countries, studying how it contributes to a variety of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, tuberculosis and diabetes. It also, of course, factored in things like drunk-driving accidents and drug use, both of which increase the likelihood of health risks and premature deaths.
“The most surprising finding was that even small amounts of alcohol use contribute to health loss globally,” senior study author Emmanuela Gakidou, a professor at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, told CNN. “We’re used to hearing that a drink or two a day is fine. But the evidence is the evidence.”
So what does this mean? We cut alcohol out of our lives completely? As TIME notes, “Gakidou’s paper did show some modest cardiovascular benefits associated with moderate drinking, particularly among women, but she says that effect is overshadowed by the numerous ways alcohol can threaten health. When you consider risks like breast cancer and road traffic injuries, she says, “the protective effect goes away, even at low doses.””
However, in case you now need a new method of drowning your sorrows, there is a bit of good news: another new study, presented at the European Society of Cardiology’s annual meeting this week, revealed that cheese might actually be good for you.
“The consumption of dairy products has long been thought to increase the risk of death, particularly from coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and cancer, because of dairy’s relatively high levels of saturated fat,” the society said in a news release. “Yet evidence for any such link, especially among U.S. adults, is inconsistent.”
As NBC notes, “Whole milk still appears to increase the risk of heart disease, although the study authors did not quantify how great the increase was. But most other dairy products, especially cheese and yogurt, were found to protect against both total mortality — death from any cause — and mortality from cerebrovascular causes.”
According to the researchers, the consumption of a dairy diet of mostly cheese was associated with an 8 percent lower total mortality risk. Okay, so maybe forgoing that glass of wine isn’t too bad when an extra-cheese pizza is your consolation prize. Excuse us while we, like Judd Apatow, run out to pick up our guilty pleasure of choice.
The world can fuck off now. I am going to get a quesadilla. This is the research I have waited my entire life for https://t.co/ENIKA1f3uM

Go Behind the Scenes of Re\Set’s Toronto Fashion Week Ad Campaign—Shot At the ROM!
We recently had the chance to hang out on the set of Toronto’s RE\SET™ ad campaign for the upcoming shows at Toronto Fashion Week , which kick off on Tuesday September 4th and last until the 6th. Shot at the ROM by Maya Fuhr, the location was chosen to communicate a particular message. “Canada currently doesn’t recognize fashion as an art form, so we wanted to place our designers within an artistic institution, to show that fashion does belong in a museum,” says Dwayne Kennedy, fashion director of the Collections, who launched Re\Set last year. “The ROM itself actually has the third largest collection of textiles in the world so we thought it was a perfect fit for this shoot,” he says.
Starring Canadian ’90s model Kirsten Owen, with hair by Jorge Joao, each shot was set in five various locations throughout the museum with Owen wearing pieces from the designers who are showing. “We wanted each one to have a bit of a personality so we matched it up in terms of fashion and spaces that way,” says Kennedy. (P.S. Sid Negium got the Iris van Herpen exhibit as his backdrop.)
Beauty Boutique by Shoppers Drug Mart is the exclusive makeup partner, with the team being led by makeup artist Simone Otis. Watch the video below to hear about what Otis did for the shoot.

TIFF 2018: Your Go-To Guide for Spotting Celebrities
TIFF 2018 is almost here — and the city is buzzing with excitement to watch quality film stalk A-list actors. From Bradley Cooper to Timothée Chalamet to Ryan Gosling, Toronto is set to be filled with very good looking famous faces from September 6 through 16. Here’s a definitive round-up of the city’s celeb-favourite hotels, restaurants and bars, and who you can expect to ‘run into’ while you’re there.

Bisha Hotel
When this uber luxe hotel opened its doors in the heart of Toronto’s entertainment district last year (conveniently across the street from TIFF headquarters at the TIFF Bell Lightbox), it was expected that the space would be brimming with A-list Hollywood talent. And the Bisha delivered. Between the lobby’s luxe velvet walls, the euro chic Mister C lobby lounge and the gorgeous 43rd floor event space, celebs couldn’t help but flock to this sleek Toronto destination.
Stars spotted in the past include: Julianne Moore, James and Dave Franco, Andrew Garfield, Richard Jenkins, Ellen Page, Ed Harris, Greta Gerwig, Emma Thompson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan, Tatiana Maslany and Allison Janney.

Montecito
Star spotting is always on high alert at this resto-hot spot co-owned by Canadian director Ivan Reitman. You can bet his group of A-list pals will be noshing and sipping at this Adelaide St. W staple. Last year, Montecito played host to the Hugo Boss after party for I, Tonya, which was attended and covered by FASHION Features Editor Greg Hudson. “The little grilled cheese sandwiches were pretty great,” he wrote in his review of the event, “especially with ketchup for dipping: so comforting!”
Stars spotted in the past include: George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, Brie Larson, Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan.

The Windsor Arms
Each year, The Windsor Arms hotel plays host to some of the festivals biggest parties. On September 8th, Susan Sarandon and Ben Stiller will host the 10th Annual Artists for Peace and Justice Gala alongside Toronto PR powerhouse Natasha Koifman. The Old Hollywood-esque space also typically houses the most exclusive ticket of the festival, the annual InStyle and Hollywood Foreign Press Association party.
Stars spotted in the past include: Emma Stone, Octavia Spencer, Olivia Wilde, Sir Elton John, Allison Janey Robin Williams, Richard Gere, Jessica Chastain.

Byblos
Each year, stars try to score a resso at this award-winning Eastern Mediterranean restaurant. Above the dining space, the RBC House pops up at 11 Duncan to serve as one of the festival’s top destinations for film junkets, concerts, premiere parties, celebrity sightings and speaker series. It’s the perfect spot to munch on some shakshouka and lamb ribs, then stake out the red carpet party arrivals.
Stars spotted in the past include: Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, Ellen Page, Brie Larson, Alicia Vikander, Emma Stone, Liam Neeson, Diane Lane, Jaime Bell, Simon Baker, Priyanka Chopra, Bryan Cranston, ElleFanning, Ed Harris, Allison Janney.

Soho House
This one is a given. Grey Goose is returning to the Soho House with its annual lineup of A-list film premiere events featuring A+ cocktails. In past years, the private members’ club has hosted exclusive soirees celebrating films such as Molly’s Game, Stronger, Killing of a Sacred Deer and Woman Walks Ahead. Tip: don’t bother trying to get in if you aren’t on the list, the bouncers at the door have a strict invite-only policy.
Stars spotted in the past include: Jennifer Lawrence, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Chastain, George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Leonardo Dicaprio, Dakota Fanning, Natalie Portman, Salma Hayek, Kate Winslet.

The Ritz-Carlton
There’s a reason why this name appears on every yearly TIFF-spotting list. The proximity to all things festival-related makes this a celeb fave for crashing post-parties and premiers. Get past the slew of black Escalades at the main entrance and if you can nab a seat, park yourself for a while to see the likes of Ryan Gosling strolling through the lobby and onto the patio.
Stars spotted in the past include: The hotel’s PR is keeping this list under wraps — which only makes it feel that much for elite. “While we cannot reveal exactly who is staying there,” they said, “if you book a room, you are sure to see some of your favourite stars!”

Lavelle
Is there anything better than a party on rooftop with a pool and view of the CN Tower? Over the past two years, Lavelle has made a name for itself as a celeb-spotting playground thanks to its 16,000-square-foot rooftop lounge with four bars—and an ice cream parlour.
Stars spotted in the past include: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Jessica Chastain, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Shannon.

Momofuku
Once again, AT&T is taking over David Chang’s famed Momofuku inside the Shangri-La Hotel. Named the DIRECTV House, the space will host daily lunches, premiere parties, cast dinners and the Variety Studio, a long-standing portrait and video studio for A-list actors.
Stars spotted in the past include: Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Alec Baldwin, Neil Patrick Harris, Steve Carell, Rachel McAdams, Robert Downey Jr.
Photography via Instagram/@stk.toronto
STK
At last year’s festival, this Vegas-esque Yorkville steakhouse hosted a number of TIFF events, including the premiere after-party for Luca Guadagnino’s coming-of-age romance, Call Me By Your Name. Maybe Timothée Chalamet will be back for this year for another Striploin or Dry-Aged Porterhouse?
Stars spotted in the past include: Armie Hammer, Timothée Chalamet, Charlie Hunnam.

The one thing that I had no idea I’d have to do would be the day-to-day communications with all aspects of the industry from factories, suppliers, manufacturers to stylists, PR, magazines and customers.
