Vancouver is known for its laid-back, fun-loving and outdoorsy approach to life, an ethos that is reflected in its fashion and bolstered by local entities such as To the Nines, a streetstyle company who recently debuted their branded T-shirts for men and women at Vancouver fashion week.
To round out my offerings here for the guys and help promote a homegrown Canadian brand I thought it worth featuring them, especially as I've been in a jeans and T-shirts mood as of late, having been influenced by the easy chic of Paris that largely consists of a uniform of jeans and (amazing) leather bomber jackets for casual walks about town. Not entirely congruent are the styles of the Parisians and the skate/surf/snow loving Vancouverites (obviously) but it's the lack of fuss in the details that prompts the comparison.
I love anything that's not made cheap and quick, and supports local industry, so congrats to To the Nines' Nikolai and Owen for having their T-shirts silkscreened by hand in Vancouver and sourcing most of their pieces in Greater Vancouver, and using high quality cottons and blends. They also point out that they are careful to avoid the trends and take their influence from the hiphop and punk music scenes, and they are all about the fun. Good luck, guys!
That's my morning hair! I thought at first glance the woman
on the shirt is playing croquet, then I took a closer look...
