Caught On Queen - Part 4

On this beautiful Wednesday, we caught Liam, 18, shopping on Queen and looking good. It looks like Liam's got a good grip on the trends of the season and has accessorized accordingly with hyper cool sunglasses.

Liam is wearing shoes from Lacoste, jeans by G Star, and a t-shirt from pauls boutique. Liam finished his look with accessorizing with Fendi glasses, a Nixon watch, and a Christian Audigier hat.

Caught on Queen West - Part 3

Our second and third victims (we kid!) for Caught on Queen West were these two lovely ladies pictured below, walking around the Queen and John area. We loved their messenger bags and dresses and snapped up some photos of them. These two ladies live in England and are just in town for a wedding, so of course all of their chic clothing is from England - but we love it regardless.

Lucia, 27, on the left, was wearing a dress from a marketplace in England, Reef Flip Flops, and sunglasses from H&M.

Hilary, also 27, on the right, was wearing a dress from Topshop, the bag is vintage, and the shoes are from Winners.


Caught on Queen West - Pretty in Florals

Our first Caught on Queen was spotted doing some afternoon shopping, and as she was stepping into Mendocino (dress sale!) we scouted her for our first official Caught on Queen blog.

Karla, 24, is wearing:
Zara Dress
Le Chateau Earrings
Shoes were a gift


Caught on Queen West!

Today marks the exciting new start of an era for The Daily Thread. We work on chic Queen West, in the heart of one of the busiest and most fashionable areas of Toronto, and constantly see hip and fresh guys and girls walking by, dressed in some pretty rad outfits. We decided to open a new section of our Thread featuring some of the sweetest outfits we could scout, along with a description of what the trendster was wearing and where we found them. After scouting for about half an hour and taking some great shots, we thought what better way to introduce this onto our blog than showing you what we're wearing today in the office?

Men in Women's Clothing: Mohr for Jacobs

At FABRIC Magazine we know that we can always count on fashion favourite, Marc Jacobs, for the wild and unexpected. While we've already commented on some of his more wacky designs, such as his reverse heel, it seems as though Jacobs is taking a step in a new and definitely interesting direction with his Fall 2008 ad campaigns. In the past, Jacobs has made some interesting and off-beat choices for his womens' campaigns, including White Stripes drummer, Meg White, and young actress Dakota Fanning. This season, friend of Jacobs', Juergen Teller shot male model, Cole Mohr, for both the upcoming men's and women's lines. For the women's campaign, Mohr is shown in a little black dress, with Breakfast at Tiffany's style jewelry to accompany. As one can imagine, Mohr's appearance in the latest Marc Jacobs ads have sparked quite a bit of buzz and hype. Isn't all publicity good publicity?

Rampant Rumours: Agyness Engaged!

Rumours are running wild that supermodel and style icon Agyness Deyn is now engaged to her once boyfriend, Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. Although Deyn's rep had no comment about the engagement, a source 'close to her' revealed that the two were indeed engaged this past week and that have been nearly inseparable for months. Congrats to the happy couple!

Spy Worthy Sunglasses





There are certain pieces that have always played a vital role in the fashion scene. One of these style pillars is sunglasses. Making waves in the hottest trends season after season, sunglasses as the new ‘it’ accessory are here to stay. From aviators, Onassis inspired frames, to Wayfarers, sunglasses are a must-have accessory for every fashionista from Toronto to Bombay. Move over, square shades, as the oversized bug eyed glass have made a strong comeback. Accompanied with bright colours and faded lenses, reminiscent of the favourite Chanel half-tints, these hot shades can be seen on every celebrity, arguably made most popular by the ever stylish Olsen twins. For a twist on the aviator look, try a bold frame to set you apart from the crowd this fall.
