Style news: Preloved celebrates 20 years with an online sale

Green love

Local reclaimed fashion label Preloved celebrates 20 years (practically two lifetimes in the fickle Canadian fashion scene) by taking its annual warehouse sale online at getpreloved.com. The sale runs from midnight on Thursday (February 5) to 11:59 pm on Monday (February 9) and includes a mix of current and past items, none costing more than $70.


Get carded at Holts

One of our favourite local fashion illustrators, Monica Smiley of eighty seventh ST., can be found at Holt Renfrew Yorkdale (3401 Dufferin, 416-789-5377, holtrenfrew.com) on Saturday (February 7) and February 14 for a Valentine’s Day pop-up shop. Shop her chic fashion cards and prints and receive a personalized illustration with any purchase over $40. 


One small step for Saks

Sometimes mass amounts of public pressure (and likely realizing you’re on the wrong side of the law) works. 

The shit hit the fan a couple weeks ago when Saks Fifth Avenue, which is owned by Hudson’s Bay, filed its defence against a workplace discrimination lawsuit brought by a trans former employee. Saks asserted that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act does not cover transgender people. Since then, the department store has reversed its position and has withdrawn its claim that transgender people aren’t covered by existing federal anti-discrimination laws in the States. However, the company says it will continue to fight the case on the merits of the plaintiff’s case alone. Progress!
