Ines spotlight on Canadian designers - Sarah Stevenson

Congratulations to Sarah Stevenson, 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!

Congratulations to Sarah Stevenson on her well-deserved honor!

Hollywood struts its leather lovers!

Cutesy flower print meets sassy leather in this Rag & Bone floral sheath dress worn by Rhianna. As the evening cools, a pair of black half scoop gloves would do well to complement this dramatic dress!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sport a leather look that is very reminiscent of their ensemble for the Mr and Mrs Smith premiere a few years ago, for which Angelina wore a beautiful floor-length Versace leather gown. This time, for the premiere of Brad's Inglourious Basterds, she shortens her look with a Michael Kors leather dress. Even with pockets, she is the picture of style...

Perhaps the fringe vest was not the most flattering choice for Mena Suvari's outfit, but her leather pants were definitely the right call! I often find that leather pants look best with a simple top and minimal accessories... Mena's white top would have worked well when paired with her necklaces. For more leather, try a pair of long fingerless or sensual shoulder high leather gloves!

Movie night with gloves galore!

To all my Friends of Elegance and fellow leather glove enthusiasts, I invite you all to curl up on the sofa with some popcorn and indulge in one of my favorite movies Down with love (2003), starring Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor. This is no ordinary chick flick!

Down with love gives a stylish portrayal of a young woman who comes to New York with stars in her eyes and big dreams in her heart, only to find a male-dominated workplace. Not to worry though... the very resourceful Barbara Novak (Zellweger) soon writes her way to the very top of the bestseller list, catching the eye of the most famous journalist and eligible bachelor along the way!

Apart from a very cute storyline, this movie features a wide variety of gloves, including shoulder-high and glace gloves. Enjoy the show!
