youre going after and be unique, Waller says. Although Connell agrees that its important to distinguish yourself, sometimes standing out too much can work against you. Unfortunately, people find too much creativity scary in the industry, you have to be well-rounded, she says. People in the industry are looking for somebody who is going to be able to work, not just some creative mind. And even if a new designer has developed a niche product, financing the entire thing might be the biggest hurdle of all. Finding a job is difficult enough, but actually starting your own label, your own collection, your own brandthat is very difficult right out of school because of the money, Waller says. Building a business Beneath the creative side of fashion
is the lesser-known business aspect. To really have a solid business background we actually encourage a lot of students [to find] a good business partner, Waller says. But for Rebecca Deaville, creator of the label Nekrotic, after working in the industry for several years, starting her own business was the next logical step. After completing a two-week introductory business course, Deaville built her business plan and consulted the Canadian Youth Business Foundations Program for a loan. They loved my product idea, they loved everything about what I wanted to do with my business Nekrotic, she says. Although trying to break into the world of fashion is a long, hard road, Deaville encourages aspiring designers to follow their passion. Dont give up on the dream and just keep doing it.

Big fluffy boots and a big fluffy coat can make you look like a poodle. Dont let your clothes take over.
Gabriel Fillion
cally, he says fitted, straight or casually striped pants make a better statement. DONT compartmentalize Fillion says you want to make your outfit seamless and aesthetically pleasing. Instead of compartmentalizingthat is, shirt, pants, shoes all separatecreate an ensemble that flows. This could mean adding a scarf that draws the eye from your face to your shirt, or a belt that blends your shirt with your pants. Being stylish does not take away from your masculinity, says Fillion. Relax, youre still a man if you look fabulous. DO spice things up Generally the same style tips apply to both hetero and non-heterosexual malesone difference is that non-heterosexual men might feel more at ease jazzing up their look with scarves, brilliant shoes, vintage shades and glamorous hats, Fillion says. Remember, were gay, not dead. Use colour.
DO dress for your body Floral dresses are in, but according to Fillion you have to be careful this style can be amazing, or terrible. Make sure they express your personality, he says. There are a whole bunch of pretty dresses out there, but there are only some that look good on you. Fillion advises making sure that the way the dress falls on your body, the colour and the length show off your assets. DONT be too plain No matter how good an outfit looks, a little accessorizing can always add some flavour. If a dress is too plain, add a belt to it. Make sure the colours match, but dont go overboardjust because colours do match doesnt mean you have to wear them. DO watch your silhouette With winter coming, Fillion says its important to be aware of your silhouette. Big fluffy boots and a big fluffy coat can make you look like a poodle, he says. Dont let your clothes take over. dONt be afraid to layer Each layer is like a new outfit. Fillion says dont be afraid to layer upyou may feel a bit bulky, but treat the street as a runway and youll rock it. You have to plan each layer out, so that if you strip one off, you still have that wow factor.

DONT be sloppy For males, Fillion says you can get cheap clothes without being sloppy. The jogging pants and sweaters are very comfy, I know, but seriously, thats so 2003. He says vintage is coming back into style. One of the articles of clothing you might not think to wear is an old grandpasweatertheyre comfy, warm and give you lots of room to breathe. DO find a good pair of pants The next step is to find a pair of pants that doesnt make your package the centre of attentiontight isnt a great look for many people. Fillion says that just because we cannot see the boys down there, doesnt mean theyre missing. Typi-

Maddie Leznoff DEpUTY EDITOR Womens clothing boutique Lolita, located on Richmond Street, feels like a trendy New York shop with its boudoir atmosphere, glitzy jewelry and racks of formal dresses. Frilly Lizard, found a bit further downtown on Talbot Street, carries bright, patterned items and channels a boutique from eras past. Both stores, as well as pop culture nostalgia shop Commander Salamander, are owned by Londons Sue Glass, and none were created on a whim. Since I was 11, I already had the concept in my head, Glass says. Frilly [Lizard] is my original concept. Its a little quirkier, a little more raw, it has a little more edge to it. After its opening in 1994, Glass says people asked her to open a store on the Row, so she nabbed the space she had always loved on the corner of Richmond and Kent, and Lolita opened its doors in 2006. While Lolita carries higher-end clothing lines like BB Dakota, Kersh and more recently TFNCTime For
New Clothes, a line from British store Topshopas well as a wide variety of accessories, Frilly Lizard carries more affordable lines like Vero Moda and Parasuco. Commander
For me, its really important. Ive modeled the stores and customer service around what I expect and I would like to see when Im in other stores.
Sue Glass,
owner
Salamander offers novelty and vintage jewelry, dresses and toys. Glass explains shes constantly looking for new lines and products to feature in her stores, but says new designers often approach her because of her reputation. When it comes to trends for fall and winter, Glass names sweater tu-
nics and belts as must-have items and emphasizes the importance of accents. I like big jewelry. Im a jewelry and accessory-aholic, she laughs. Customers of all three stores not only value the unique merchandise, but also the atmosphere of the individual boutiquessomething thats hard to come by when shopping at the mall. For me, its really important. Ive modeled the stores and customer service around what I expect and I would like to see when Im in other stores. Visually, its really importantthe store has to feel good, has to flow and fixtures have to work. A happy shopping experience comes down to great help as well. All my girls love to work with and dress the customers, Glass says. Theres no better high than someone leaving with a fabulous outfit or piece of jewelry. Lolita is located at 533 Richmond St. Frilly Lizard and Commander Salamander are located at 362 Talbot St. Visit lolitaonrichmond.ca, frillylizard.ca and commandersalamander.ca for more info.

Jesica Hurst ARTS & LIFE EDITOR For a lot of people, shopping second-hand is no longer a second choice. Vintage or antique clothing stores have been around for years, but the movement has been picking up speed since older trends are coming around full circle, and not everyone can afford to buy everything new. For Kimberly Petrie, owner of Lovesick, a vintage and handmade second-hand store on Richmond, vintage fashion has always played a huge role in her life. My first involvement with vin-
tage fashion was probably when I was around thirteen years old, maybe even younger, Petrie explains. I gained this love for everything old, and when you can be that young and go to a garage sale with five dollars in your pocket from your grandmother and get a fur coat and a pair or shoes or somethingthats how it all starts. After discovering Kensington Market and King Street West in Toronto, she realized that people actually own second-hand stores where people go and buy great, unique clothing items. From there, she knew that this is what she wanted to do. [Lovesick] is my first vintage store, but this is the second locationwe were over in Wortley Village for three years until we opened here in the beginning of August, she explains. Im so happy to be on Richmond Row nowits quite busy in this location so it keeps the energy level high. Although the prices are lower and Petrie gets new items in every day, she explains that not just any-
one can pull off vintage fashion. There are just some women who dont have the confidence to do it, she says. They should, because they totally could and would look awesome, but theres just a certain confidence level you need to have to stand up straight when wearing great clothes. If you put a great belt on with a burlap sack and you think you look awesome, you will look awesome. If you do want to experience vintage fashion and have the confidence to try out something new, there are definitely a few benefits that come with shopping at Lovesick, including a 13 per cent discount for all students. So much vintage clothing is homemade, so its made with love, and adds so much style, Petrie explains. The longer the pieces have lasted, well, it says so much for an item of clothing. Everything here is priced accordingly, and still my prices are so reasonable. Lovesick is located at 723 Richmond St. For students, all prices are tax included.

ate the illusion of a bigger room. Storage boxes are ideal for putting away miscellaneous items which dont belong anywhere. They can be stacked on top of each other or placed under the bed. 3) Use a wall-mounted table as a desk to save space. It can be folded away neatly when not in use and
make the space look bigger. 4) Since small spaces do not accommodate big couches easily, think about using beanbags, floor cushions and stackable/foldable chairs or stools for seating. Using colours that complement your rooms colour scheme would definitely add to the room.
