NYC: Supply Shopping

I spent this last week in NYC, taking in all that great city has to offer.  While I ate my little heart out, enjoyed the company of friends, and found inspiration in so many places, I also scheduled Biko meetings and shopped for supplies for future collections.  Here is a tiny peek at some of the materials I'll be working with in the near future.

I Got The Bike!

Remember those gorgeous Italian Abici bicycles I was obsessing over in this post in May?  Well, I ended up buying the dove grey one!  I'm loving it so so much, I just had to share the news.  I haven't yet settled on an appropriate name for 'her', but if you've got any suggestions I would love to hear them.

I'm laughing my face off at Karolina, who insisted we take some pictures!

The Biko Lookbook Campaign: Golden Haze

Hot off the digital press, the online Biko Lookbook is now available for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!  We're also very excited to receive the printed copies, to be delivered next Tuesday.  

 

Stay tuned for more Biko website updates scheduled for next week:  The Behind-the-Scenes video of the campaign shoot will be posted, and you'll also be able to view and purchase the full FW 2011 Collection online...  Oh the excitement!!

Store Love: The Drake General

It's rare I'm in the Rosedale area of Toronto, but a visit to the dentist brought me near and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to pop into the local Drake Hotel General Store.  One of three locations, this Drake General is super cute and quaint (well, they all are actually).  Their Canadiana meets vintage meets industrial chic aesthetic is drop dead cool, and their love for Canadian designers and artists is even cooler.  They even had a little flag display proudly celebrating their local suppliers, including Biko!
