Fashion Hobo

Fashion Hobo – what Vancouver’s wearing.

Michael Jackson left the world in a state of shock last week, passing away from a heart attack.  The legacy he leaves us is massive:  a controversial character, his music, fashion and lifestyle will never be forgotten.  I won’t pretend to have been his biggest fan ever – but I was a big fan of [...]

Tummy tuck jeans are all the rage right now – and for good reason, too.  They’re flattering.  However, they can go from very hot to very very not… so I am venturing where no Fashion Hobo (but many fashion hobos) have gone before:  the land of figure-shaping denim.
Having worked in a denim store for quite [...]

In and around tuition times, I can be pretty cheap.  OK, anytime I can be, I am pretty cheap.  That doesn’t, however, stop me from indulging in a plethora of clothes.  The reason I bring up my frugality is because it led me straight to a pair of mint-condition Earnest Sewn jeans in my size.  [...]

My laptop is, well, a Fashion Hobo.  When I bought it, its sleek black-and-silver form coupled with a brand-new sound system was the pride of my desk!  4 years, 23,491 essays and one unfortunate encounter with a Russian textbook later, it definitely falls under the euphemism “grunge chic”.  To be blunt, it has all the [...]

A few years back, custom jeans were a pipe dream. Accessible only to the rich, the uber-fashionable or the sewingly-inclined, custom denim was an uneccesary luxury.

In my eyes, Tom Ford can rarely do wrong. Time and again he has brought his game to the runways at Gucci, working magic on collection after collection and re-vamping Gucci as one of the world’s leading fashion houses. Not only that, he is constantly flanked by some of the world’s most beautiful [...]

Starting out as a basic, quality manufacturer of luggage in the 1940s, Coach has become one of the choice brands for the well-to-do girl. The designs are practical, with a flair for fashion – as such, they have risen to iconic status in some circles. This season’s bags are no exception, with great [...]

Ever the conoisseur of cheap wardrobe staples, I dropped by Swedish giant H&M today to check out their stuff. I was quite impressed. The North American stores just aren’t (I’m told by many) as great as the European ones, but it seems like there is some great stuff there – you just have [...]

I am something of a fashion blog hobo.  Not only do I read them obsessively but I tend to get my friends hooked on them too.  Oh well; the more the merrier.
There is this particular blog that I love to watch because the man who writes it takes photos of some of the most interestingly [...]
