Ryan Gosling shows his glovey style!


London, Ontario-born actor Ryan Gosling has begun dabbling in the art of direction over the past little while. Though his Cannes film festival appearance may not have been what he had expected, his leather glove style is always a huge hit.

Happy Victoria Day!

Happy Victoria Day to all of our Friends of Elegance Canada!


Victoria Day is a special day set aside to commemorate the birth of Queen Victoria, reigning queen of England from 1837 until 1901. During the period of her reign, women traditionally wore tight corsets, puffed sleeves, and elaborate crinolines beneath their gowns.

Gloves were a staple accessory for both men and women. Whether it was time for tea, church, or just a social call, gloves were a necessity. To accommodate the feeling of the time, long gloves like my sensual shoulder high gloves were actually worn so tightly that it would often take upwards of 20 minutes to don a single glove!

Tonight will be a night of fireworks, barbecues, and fun... but we shall never forget the ideals and fashion trends set forth by Queen Victoria.Share/Bookmark

Trendspotting in Canada: leather jogging pants??

Just when I thought leather fashion could only be elegant, I came across this in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada... otherwise know as the fashion capital of Canada..


... elegant shoes with leather jogging pants!

As I did a little more research, I quickly found out that yes, leather jogging pants have become quite the celebrity fashion trend, from Kanye West and Beyonce to Rhianna and Selena Gomez.

I suppose this all began when late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel gave Kanye West a miniature pair of leather pants for his new baby several months ago. Since that time, these "athletic" leather pants have exploded onto the fashion scene.


Stratford, Ontario-native Justin Beiber often wears leather jogging pants as part of his stage show in some very bright colours!

Personally, I am not a fan of wearing athletic gear in public, but if you choose to indulge in this interesting new trend, then at least the use of leather will keep these pants looking somewhat chic and unique. If you want to complement a leather bottom with a pair of leather gloves, my fashion fingerless driving gloves add a touch of elegance to an otherwise casual ensemble. For men who indulge in this trend, try my man black peccary driving gloves for a bold, powerful statement.Share/Bookmark

Rhianna treats Vancouver to some full-length leather

Rhianna is consistently in the news due to her unique and often elaborate fashions. A recent concert in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, was no exception...


A leather ensemble like no other, and only Rhianna! My sensual past elbow gloves make an elegant addition to her stage presence, while her thigh-high boots lend a rocker-chic feel.

If you want to recreate this look without the mile-high stilettos, try a pair of my sensual oh-la-la leg gloves... they allow you to experience the soft luxury of leather on your bare legs, and can be paired with a shoe of your choice. Peep toes, sandals, classic stilettos - the choice is yours! Share/Bookmark

Ines' spotlight on Canadian designers: Sarah Stevenson

Sarah Stevenson is a the young, talented fashion designer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who recently competed and won the Toronto Fashion Incubator New Labels competition.


Sarah's unique designs are reminiscent of Dutch still life paintings of the Baroque era, and will be seen within the year in Target stores across Canada. Now that this popular chain has ventured above the border, Target is hoping to celebrate Canada. What better way to do this than to celebrate a young, motivated, talented new Canadian designer?


Sarah's fashions are truly beautiful, complementing the feminine form and pairing flowery florals with bold, exciting colors.


Personally, I fully intend to keep a close watch on Sarah's collections, and will be eagerly waiting to bring them home to add to my personal collection!


The delightful colors and patterns used in Sarah's creations can be perfectly matched with the unique colors of Ines Gloves. Try a short-sleeved dress with a pair of my sensual shoulder high gloves (on special at Ines' glove shop!) or pair longer sleeves with my silk-lined every day glace gloves for the ultimate in sensuality and elegance!
