Dear Canada, if you have an opinion about Hog Town, but have never been there please watch this video before you pass judgement. Toronto is a wonderful (and yes ugly) city that has so much to offer and we hope you get to experience it for yourself.
We heard rumors of this Sitka sponsored skate ramp built in the wilderness of BC and we can’t wait to see the full length video debut.
Into the Thicket chronicles the journey of a few skateboarders’ treck into the forests of Vancouver Island to skate a ramp constructed using the surrounding environment and few other materials.
Hi Neighbour: Board of Trade Co.
We caught up with the multi-tasking David Lin of BOT to find out more about their growing retail empire. From designing their own line and opening a second location in Gastown the BOT crew has big plans for 2013. As of Spring/Summer 2013 Muttonhead will now be available in both locations and we are very excited to grow our business together and make our mark in Vancouver.
M: What is unique about your shop?
BOT: From the very beginning our main focus was to create a platform to showcase young emerging designers in fashion, art and design. Too often we would walk into a boutique and see the same star-power brands carried time and time again. We created the store with the notion that there are other consumers, like us, who are looking for something fresh, unique and different.
M: What is Board of Trade, beyond a retail store?
BOT: We are a family. Above all else, it is important to us that we create positive personal relationships with our designers and customers. Our store has been a labour of love and everyone that has helped us along the way knows that they have been an instrumental piece to this project. We make our business personal, from designing collaborative pieces with our designers or asking our customers what brands they want Board of Trade Co. to support next. Ultimately, we want to develop a collective space for other creatives or entrepreneurs to come get inspired and enjoy what we enjoy.
M: After you close up shop, what’s the best thing to do in Vancouver (during the fall/winter seasons)?
BOT: The store has become a communal meeting/hang out spot for our friends, so many nights after we close we clear the store tables, order Pizzeria Farina from down the street, do a booze run and just feast.
M: What is your favourite piece from the current Muttonhead Autumn/Winter 2012 collection?
BOT: The Baseball Pants made from recycled hemp. Vancouver is a laidback city. Everyone who came in loved these effortless, yet stylish pants.
M: What kind of staff parties do you guys have?
BOT: Ragers. There are three of us that run the store and we employ a range of friends, designers, and customers to do many random tasks for us. The least we could do is throw a rager every so often for everyone.
Great news for future Canadian designers and sportswear brands, Chip Wilson and Lululemon are launching a brand new school of design in Vancouver!
Lululemon Athletica founder Chip Wilson announced Friday he will help fund a new $36-million school of design focusing on high-tech clothing at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.
Wilson said he and his wife Shannon will donate $8 million, to be combined with $4 million from the Vancouver-based company he founded in 1998, to launch the Chip and Shannon Wilson School of Design at Kwantlen’s Richmond campus.
The provincial government and Kwantlen will each contribute $12 million.
“It’s going to be marrying technical people who know what they’re doing with students here with the right machines,” Wilson told students, faculty and media who attended the announcement at Kwantlen’s main atrium.
“Students can come out of this school fully versed in the ability to make highly technical outerwear.”

Groundswell – a new film by Chris Malloy of Patagonia, Farm League Productions, and Woodshed Films in conjunction with the Raincoast Conservation Foundation – is setting out out on tour. It’s a small film about making a big stand.
Groundswell features world-class surfing of Patagonia’s Trevor Gordon, Dan Malloy and Chris Malloy. Canadian phenomenon Peter Devries also joins Raincoast aboard their 70-foot sailboat to discover what the remote coast of British Columbia, Canada, has to offer – and why it must be protected. Together with local indigenous leaders, this group gives voice to a coast in peril from a proposed Tar Sands pipeline and associated oil tanker traffic.
Thanks to Patagonia for taking action and bringing this to our attention.
We are so excited to be serving up some delicious Gin by Victoria Spirits at the next Mutts & Co. Fall Shop. Victoria Spirits is a company after our own heart, and their Gin is handmade in small batches on Vancouver Island, BC. The distillery is family-owned and operated and it is no wonder why they have become ‘Canada’s first premium Gin’. Victoria Spirits are sold across Canada and will soon be available in New York City as well.
If you haven’t had a chance to try this amazing local Gin, then this is just one more reason to come by the launch party on Saturday night.
See y’all at 88 Ossington (above LeVack Block, entrance on Humbert St.) from 7-11p.
We really enjoyed this video on Outlier by HypeBeast. Not only is one of the designers Canadian but these guys knit, sounds like our kinda cats.
All Outlier products are made in New York and their philosophy is that
“Clothing should be liberating. What you put on in the morning should never restrict what you do with your day. We make garments that dance around the boundaries of fashion using a function driven design process and high quality technical fabrics.”
Start of brand new series MAHARANIS out this June at Mark Christopher Gallery, Parkdale, Toronto.
