If you haven’t heard it already - Vogue voted ‘West Queen West’ the second-hippest district in the world which is kind of a big deal. So we decided to capture the look of Toronto’s coolest neighborhood with one of our newest and coolest labels - Muubaa leather jackets now available at the Distillery District location. 

You can sum up the West end’s fashion influence in one word - individuality. From shopping the specialty boutiques to treasure hunting at the vintage and consignment stores, the aim is always to procure something original and totally you. A leather jacket is the statement piece in your wardrobe that reflects your individuality and tells your story. 

Muubaa leather jackets are refined and elegant yet always distinctive. The exceptional materials and craftsmanship are enhanced with unexpected details, finishes and twists making every piece an expression of individuality.

There is nothing more inspiring than a woman in a position of power. The glass ceiling has been broken so here are a few looks to help you climb the ladder a little faster. And if you’re already a boss lady then these power looks will ensure you stay one.  

The Executive: 

Wearing a suit isn’t about being androgynous. You can still play with the boys in the big leagues while maintaining your femininity. For example a feminine blouse provides the perfect contrast against a traditional power suit. Don’t be afraid to let your hair down and show them who’s boss.

The Fashion Editor:

When trend-setters look to you for approval that’s a lot to live up to and dress to. As proven by many fashion editors - less is more. So if you want to look like you know more about fashion than anyone else in the room - don’t try too hard and think minimalism. Try colour blocking and remember you can never go wrong with a crisp white shirt. 

Featuring Ecru Skinny Beck Colour Block Pant $165, Sand Sandie Blouse $225 

 

The Gallery Owner:

Behind every successful artist there is an art dealer. If your business is art don’t make the mistake of dressing like the artist. Show your business sense with a staple black pencil skirt but shake it up with a bold print on top. Stick with structured, tailored pieces that show you're here to do business.
