If retro-futurist, industrial-cyborg Germanic glamour wasn’t a thing already, Yohei Ohno’s Fall collection made it one. Soundtracked by Klaus Nomi, the show was inspired by the 1920s Bauhaus movement, as well as iconic furniture design by Irish architect Eileen Grey.

Spring showers bring spring dresses! Spring is an amazing time of the year for many reasons. The flowers are in bloom, the weather isn’t usually a problem and everyone seems a little happier. This spark of happiness is a reaction to the clothing that comes back with the start of the warm weather. Who doesn’t love a dress especially when it is a bright and fun spring dress? This spring and summer, dresses are bigger and better than ever!

David Thete has the abundant good energy of a guy who doesn’t turn 19 until July 21. He has the buoyant good humor of a young man who “can get along with just about anyone … (it’s) one of his greatest strengths,” in the words of Mary King, in whose theology class he studied at Cheverus High School. And Thete has the creativity, intellect and personal drive to bring people together for a cause, as he did in founding Kesho Wazo just over a year ago.

The 26-year-old model has a select colour palette for the clothes in her wardrobe, which include monochrome shades, pale peach hues and navy blue, because she believes everyone has to have "go-to" fashion choices.
