5 minutes with… Craig Strickland Craig is a Toronto local who stared in our Spring/Summer 2012 lifestyle shoot. Craig is currently enrolled in the Royal Conservatory of Music and after you check out pics you should head over to www.craigstrickland.com to listen to his tunes! 1. What are your favorite places to hang in your hood? When I’m not working, you can normally find me at the Beaconsfield or on the roof of the Drake Hotel.2. First impressions… Very important, but can also be misleading. I think it’s nice to give people a few chances. 3. The most exciting place right now is … My apartment. I know it sounds boring, but I just bought some new gear and I am having a hard time walking out the front door.4. Biggest indulgence in life? I have far too many indulgences to list.5. Name four essential elements of a good party. Good food and drink, good company and conversation, and great music.6. Hotel room or campsite? Campsite for a few days, and then hotel room to shower and use the bed for a night. I recently camped in Hawaii, and it was an unbelievable experience. 7. My favorite quality in a man is… when they mean what they say.8. My favorite quality in a woman is… every one is my favorite, it depends on the woman. 9. Your motto in life? I don’t have a motto, but If I were to make one up on the spot it would be; “Life is too short to spend it being an asshole”.10. What is the evil version of you like? I think a more appropriate question is; what is the nice version of me like.

RIP: Loulou de la Falaise  She was a model, a muse, and a designer of both clothing and jewelry. In many ways, Loulou de la Falaise was a fashion-industry renaissance woman. It’s believed she inspired Saint Laurent’s famous ‘Le Smoking’, a tuxedo for women that led to everything from menswear details being used in women’s clothing to today’s pantsuits.Read more: YSL muse Loulou de la Falaise dies at age 63 - the Fashion Spot http://forums.thefashionspot.com/f63/ysl-muse-loulou-de-la-falaise-dies-age-63-a-153099.html#ixzz1d1x2C4iU
