Sézane and Momonì collaborate on a pre-summer collection
Bright florals and bold stripes are keystones in the Sézane collaboration with Italian brand Momonì. Consider the assortment of 40 pieces your prelude to summer, with flowing maxi dresses and easygoing separates welcoming warm weather with poise and finesse.
The limited-edition designs across ready-to-wear, accessories and jewellery definitely provide a sense of newness, but this wardrobe revamp still reflects both Sézane and Momoni and their knack for blending luxury with comfort in a contemporary fashion.
Canada Goose drops chic new rain boots
When it rains, it pours — In fashion and in footwear! To keep up with Canada’s rainy season (read: “spring”), Canada Goose has just released a rain boot style that is sleek, lightweight and easy to style.
Thanks to its ankle height and barely-there seam, these waders offer a minimalist approach to outdoor gear and can turn just about anyone into an avid puddle-jumper. Offered in black, off-white and sky blue, the Vancouver Rain Boot is available online now and in-store on June 1.
COS collaborates with Japanese shibori artisan Kazuki Tabata
Modern design meets tradition in COS’s first-ever collaboration with Kazuki Tabata. The 14-piece collection will see the brand’s classic silhouettes transformed with shibori, a textile-dyeing technique that uses binds and folds in the fabric to achieve mesmerising, one-of-a-kind patterns.
Tabata’s contributions to the collection are especially important considering he is one of few remaining artisans who still practise the traditional shibori technique. So whether you’re shopping in womenswear or menswear (or accessories!), allow art and fashion to intertwine while you boast rare and meaningful pieces.

Olaeda and Jamie Pandit collaborate on a jewellery collection for Pride month
Toronto-based fine jewellery brand Olaeda has teamed up with Jamie Pandit, social media star and transgender advocate, to co-design a collection of necklaces, rings, earrings and ear cuffs in 14K gold and diamonds.
The collection was inspired by Jamie’s personal life motto “always sparkle and shine from the inside, out,” and oozes light and positivity. What’s more, a portion of proceeds from the collection will be donated to Toronto’s The 519, a City of Toronto agency that is committed to the health, happiness and full participation of the 2SLGBTQ+ communities.
While the official launch is on June 5, pre-orders can be made now.
