Drake ups his fashion game for VIEWS


Drake dropped his much-anticipated album VIEWS today exclusively on Apple Music and iTunes.

In addition, the Canadian rapper included a stylish digital booklet to go with the album. We are happy to see Drake in polished suiting (which appears to be Tom Ford) for these photo shoots, as he is often spotted in his own OVO athleisurewear in candids. Drake isn't a total newbie to the fashion game, though. After all, he opened his last album Nothing Was The Same with a reference to Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather Eau de Parfume. In return, Ford named one of his lipsticks after the rapper in his Lips & Boys collection. 

Of course, this booklet wouldn't be Canadian without featuring Canada Goose bombers and shots of Toronto. 

In other news, we will be one of the first in North America to sample the artist's new whiskey, Virginia Black this summer with the help of the LCBO, so stay tuned.

Screen Style: USA's legal drama Suits has more Canadian connections than you think

USA's legal drama Suits just began filming its sixth season in this week.

With the help of the show's wardrobe stylist Jolie Andreatta, the on-screen style is divine (especially Harvey Specter's (Gabriel Macht) endless Tom Ford attire) and we often find ourselves coveting nearly every outfit we see on the screen.

As simple and classic as a cardigan and pencil shirt may be, Andreatta has that special touch of making it all seem effortless. According to The Tig, a few of the labels she uses includes Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Jil Sander, and, of course, many Christian Louboutin pumps.

Fashion aside, the popular show is American but has a few quirky Canadian fashionable connections as well.

FILMING
Although the show is supposed to be based in New York City, the majority of the filming is done in Toronto, Canada (deemed one of the most stylish cities in the country). The show features the well-known Bay Adelaide Centre, and often enough viewers can see the TCC street cars in the background.

BFF's
Meghan Markle who plays Rachel Zane on the show is good friends with fashion strategist Jessica Mulroney (who is married to e-talk's Ben Mulroney, son of the former Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney), who styles Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, the wife of our current Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.

COLLABS
Sarah Rafferty who plays Donna Paulsen on the show recently collaborated with Vancouver designer MEZZI, for their Cosima bag. The bag features smart technology and can charge your smartphone and iPad. MEZZI fits the show's vibe to a tee with it's modern clean lined aesthetic.

While you're anxiously waiting for the next season to air, Netflix offers seasons one through four, and five is currently available on iTunes.
