Hudson's Bay & Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games


I'm sure you guys heard, the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games will be held in Toronto this summer! I'm super excited about the games and had already ordered tickets to some of the events: the Opening Ceremony, Volleyball and Badminton! If you get a chance, I think you should definitely go and check out the games, for more info & tickets, click here. Go Canada, go!

Just last week, Canada's iconic retailer, Hudson's Bay unveiled the official Team Canada Collection for the games. Athletes were present and showed off the uniforms Team Canada will be wearing during the Games.

Inspired by the 50 year anniversary of the Canadian flag, Hudson's Bay's internal team of innovative and creative designers used the maple leaf as the starting point for the graphics showcased throughout the collection. Each of the 22 pieces is reminiscent of classic varsity sport; while at the same time are a modern nod towards the current athleisure trend in fashion.








The collection unites style and sport. Key elements woven throughout the collection include the bold and confident use of red, white, grey and black and modernized maple leaf, shown either outlined or solid with a strong Canada wordmark, designed in a font inspired by an oval athletic track. It captures a contemporary and modern fashion feel and hightlights the essence of Canada's strong and distinguishing personality.

The collection, priced from $30 - $140, for men's, women's and children's apparel and accessories, is available now to purchase in stores and on thebay.com.

What do you guys think of them? What's your fav item? I better go pick up some pieces before they sell out : )



Loving these items!

Latest Converse Collaborations

Check out the latest Converse collaborations - what do you guys think of them?



There's the Hudson's Bay Company (Canada's premium retailer) Jack Purcell sneaker collection. Designed in the heritage of the iconic Hudson's Bay multi-stripe blanket and signature colours. The actual woolen blanket is used in these one of a kind styles!





Another very cool collaboration is with avant-garde French fashion house Maison Martin Margiela. The collection features Chuck Taylor All Star and the Jack Purcell sneakers, each completely hand-painted in Maison Martin Margiela's iconic white paint.





They naturally crack and shed their outer coat of paint to reveal the original colours beneath. The more the sneakers are worn, the more their personality and colour is revealed. "The Maison has always been obsessed with white; it is used as a layer to give an incognito feeling. A sort of poetry, with the passage of time, the shoe asserts itself," says Maison Martin Margiela.

Interesting..... : )
