ON OUR COVER

Featured on the front cover of Style Week is the season’s new sophisticated classic: the trouser suit from Klassique Designs in Scotia Centre. The suit, worn by Savannah Little with She Modelling, is from the Fall/Winter 2018 collection by Montreal designer Iris Setlakwe. The suit features this season’s new trouser and a sleek tailored collared blazer. The stretch fabrication allows for ease of movement and exceptional comfort. It’s perfect for the board room, travel or even a quick dinner out after work.

Dream Season

A return to tailored elegance

JEANNIE ARMSTRONG

K

ajoo Kamal couldn’t be more thrilled with this season’s fashion offerings.

“I’ve been hoping and dreaming for a season like this, and it’s here now. The trouser suit has returned,” declares Kamal, the fashion dynamo behind Klassique Designs in Scotia Centre.

“The look is very tailored, with amazing fabrications. And they are so comfortable!

There’s a little bit of stretch in everything.

You can wear them all day in comfort.

There’s no excuse any more for showing up to work in yoga wear.”

The tailored suit gives every woman’s wardrobe a professional edge and elegance that has been lacking in recent years, she notes. “We all talk about how great men look in uniform; how much better they look in a suit. The same is to be said for women.”

It’s a message that Kamal wants to especially impart to a new generation of professional women. “They’re smart, they’re savvy, they’re entrepreneurial – but it’s time to look the part. You need to show your clients, investors and colleagues that you mean business.”

This season’s power suits are as flattering as they are comfortable, she notes. Among Kamal’s favourites this season are those designed by Iris Setlakwe from Montreal.

“The cuts, the lines are so classic and feminine. The jackets fit beautifully; they’re not boxy. It’s not a cookie cutter look. There are lots of choices in the jacket styles, including the new kimono-style wrap jacket.”

Designers are also offering a variety of trouser styles – straight leg, full leg, wide leg, boot cut, cropped – making it easy to select the perfect pant for your body type and personality.

Kamal is delighted by the variety of fabrications. “There’s a return to the classics: houndstooth, herringbone, pinstripes. We’re also seeing gorgeous solid tones.”

Sweater weather has arrived; time to stock up on the season’s newest knitwear. Among the latest arrivals at Klassique are sweaters

by Leo & Ugo, a chic fashion line from Paris.

“A lot of these sweaters are reminiscent of the ‘80s. They have a fit that’s slightly less constructed, a little looser, with a beautiful drape,” says Kamal.

She points to a knit and lace sweater by Leo & Ugo on display in her storefront window. “The lace is a stretch mesh, so comfortable to wear, and very much a look in Europe. It looks fantastic under a threequarter length sleeve jacket.”

Sweater coats are having a moment again, adds Kamal. “We haven’t had beautiful sweater coats like this for a long time. We’re featuring some wonderful sweater coats by the Italian designer Eroke.”

“We’re also going to see lots of faux fur and feathers, in some of the fun sweaters and wraps. They look great with denim.”

Denim remains a fashion staple for casual wear. Klassique is introducing the trendy AZI denim line from New York, in addition to their popular Cartise denim collection. “And yes, the good old jean jacket is back again, in different colours and incarnations, with or without embellishment,” she adds.

With predictions of a bone-chilling winter,

this is the year to opt for a new winter coat.

Klassique features sophisticated premium outerwear by HiSO (formerly Mallia), a second generation Canadian company renowned for their exquisitely crafted coats.

“HiSO uses shearling, cashmere, wool, leather and fur to create timeless investment garments that can be worn for years to come,” says Kamal. At Klassique, HiSO coats are available for special order with an option for custom coats.

The whirlwind of holiday galas is about to commence and Klassique has gained renown across Western Canada for its extensive collection of evening wear.

“This season, there’s a bit of a retro feel in many of the evening gowns. It’s a look of sophistication and simplicity. There are fewer embellishments but the fabrics are richer and more sumptuous. The gowns with fuller skirts usually have pockets,” says Kamal.

Black, white, ivory and red are classic colour choices in evening wear. More fashionforward hues include royal blue, hot pink, deep wine and a pumpkin orange.

With over 30 years of expertise as a fashion buyer and boutique owner, Kamal’s best advice is to “buy quality instead of disposable clothing that you wear once or twice and trash. Buy the better pieces, buy some classics and you’ll be able to wear them season after season.”

Klassique’s wardrobe styling packages have become increasingly popular, she notes. “I’m working with lots of clients as a stylist. I’ll even go to their homes, once or twice a year to review their wardrobes. For pieces that look tired, I’ll suggest how those items can be modified, added to or edited.”

HIGH CONTRAST Klassique Designs takes the chill off winter with this gorgeous winter coat by HiSO (formerly Mallia). The coat, worn by Savannah Little with She Modelling, is a luxurious blend of wool and cashmere, trimmed with fox. Savannah’s sophisticated tailored trouser suit is by Canadian designer Iris Setlakwe.

6 ways to spice up your fall wardrobe

HILARY KLASSEN

A

t Anthonys Fashions, a fresh new fall wardrobe is within easy reach. You’ll find everything you need except perhaps a pumpkin spice latte.

Having established itself in the world of men’s fashions some years ago, the store added women’s fashions three years ago, becoming one of only a few fashion destinations in Saskatoon to offer both.

With the new season, we look for new fashion directions. Owner, Anthony Graham-Cutts, points to a number of new trends or shifts in the fashion landscape to watch for this fall: 1. THE PALETTE: On the colour wheel, olive green is making a bit of a comeback, both on the men’s and ladies’ sides. Olive may be seen in accent scarves, in footwear or anywhere in between. The hue blends in

AUTUMN SPICE For Anthonys Fashion, Jessica Bonish stands out in an upscale casual layered look that includes an ultra suede duster in ‘bone’ by Only, a tie-front shirt in ‘tobacco’ by M. Italy, and the season’s new high-waist jeans by Up. Jessica’s finishing touches include cognac booties by Bussola, a layered rope necklace by Garbo, and a grey braid patchwork purse by Miss Caprice.

Deyton Bonish is dressed in a contemporary casual layered look that’s ideal for so many outings. Anthonys teamed up Black Bull jeans with a Matinique merino wool sweater in tobacco brown, then topped it off with a brown leather bomber jacket by Selected. Completing Deyton’s look are suede leather brogue boots by Fellows United and a Bench Craft belt in cognac – all from Anthonys Fashions, located at 234 First Avenue South, across from Midtown Plaza.

well with the caramels and cognacs that are also very strong this season.

2. THE LOFT: Velvety and velour fabrics are showing up again. Graham-Cutts happens to be sporting a velour blazer as he delivers this news. “We’ve gotten to the point where a lot of fabrics are very tactile. Especially in the fall it’s about more loft, like softer boucle-like fabrics,” he says.

These are not the bouclés of old that were shiny, overly raised fabrics. The new bouclés are a not as bulky, big or heavy, they’re a little less ‘in your face’. Saskatchewan winters make sweaters and coats a necessity, and these bouclés provide an insulating factor while allowing for a generous range of movement.

3. THE HIDDEN DETAILS: Remember those bold socks that were popular the last few seasons?

The look that required cropped pantlegs to flash the socks? That look is falling a bit lower on the fashion totem pole. Instead, secret design details on the interior of a garment add panache. “Designers may add details on the inside of a cuff, for example, that’s a little unique,” says GrahamCutts. “You’re not showing it to the public unless you want to.”

4. THE COST-EFFECTIVE EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: Slim-fitting suits with some stretch in the fabrics are still en vogue.

Anthony’s version offers a natural fit, what he calls a “true to you” fit

– neither too baggy nor too snug – guys are not bulging out of the shirt. This year expect even greater refinement of the technology that provides the stretch comfort we’ve grown accustomed to. While we love natural fabrics, we’re addicted to the synthetic lycras and elastenes that provides the necessary stretch, even in dress clothes. “The technology now on synthetics has come a long way and they’re using blends of fabrication to allow that nice soft natural feel,” says Graham-Cutts.

In the past, clothes would generally fall into one of three categories: inexpensive, middle of the road, or high end. Inexpensive generally equated to poor quality. “It used to be that inexpensive stuff just felt inexpensive or performed that way and now technology has gotten to the point where these fabrics will be much nicer and perform much better without being extremely expensive.

It’s a nice change!”

5. THE UNIQUE STYLES: Expect fashions that stand out for their uniqueness at Anthonys.

“We’re trying to search out that unique product that’s a little bit different, that we can pay value price for and pass that along to our consumers,” says Graham-Cutts. On the women’s side he pulls out a wonderfully soft grey and cream poncho with a large cowl neck and lots of loft to it. High-low sweaters are featured but a new trend is pants with

high-low hems that are a bit longer in the back and a bit shorter in the front. “We really like the trend. The style is just a little different and it’s very flattering.”

For guys, burgundy suits in this fall present a welcome alternative to usual colour leaders of navy and grey. Stroller-length coats in various colours are standard every fall and can be dressed up or down. “They blend equally well with a suit jacket or a pair of jeans and sneakers,” says Graham-Cutts. A feather twill pant, a cross between a dress and casual pant, feels fabulously soft, has some stretch to it and is sold year-round.

6. THE LABELS: Anthonys Fashions is not hardcore when it comes to labels. You’ll find well-known recognizable brands as well as new and lesser known labels. There’s a flexibility in his approach that is directly tied to providing both quality and value to the customer. Higher-end product from Turkey blends with European designs and labels people have never heard of before. “Some are exclusive to us and some not. A lot of what we’re doing is different than what everybody else is doing.”

Spice up your fall season by exploring the unique environment at Anthonys Fashions at 600-234, 1st Ave South in Saskatoon, or visit anthonysfashion.ca

Ultimo Euromoda brings the edge to fashion in Saskatoon ELIZABETH IRELAND

U

ltimo Euromoda opened in October 1989 and has been at its current downtown Saskatoon location since 2004. The store originally focused on Europeandesigned clothing. Today, Ultimo Euromoda is an exclusive retailer of multiple clothing lines for men and women from around the globe.

Barry Flynn is the owner of Ultimo Euromoda and has lots of thoughts about the latest fashion trends for Fall/Winter 2018. Flynn explains that at the heart of must-have looks for this season is the concept of athleisure.

Athleisure means taking fabric that was initially designed for the sporting world and making dress clothing from it. These improved fabrics are versatile, flattering and hold their shape. As a result, athleisure clothing can become a large part of men’s and women’s everyday wardrobes. Credited with launching the athleisure movement is the sport couture designer Dirk Bikkembergs from Belgium.

“Right now, fashion is all about high-tech fabrics in an ever-changing world. Athleisure means that the fabrics you work out in are now used in dress clothing. It’s a gamechanger – our clients aren’t going back to regular fabrics,” says Flynn.

While fashion is often an industry of trends, there are certain fundamentals to living in Saskatoon that don’t change – such as the cold winter weather. Keeping weather in mind, Flynn is a fan of a Canadian

style-focused and weather-functional clothing line for men and women called Point Zero.

“Ultimo Euromoda provides a certain look for our clients. No one else in Saskatoon is turning over as many rocks in the field to find the best in men’s and women’s clothing.

We want the most flattering look for our clients and their body type. We don’t want to dress a fashion victim,” says Flynn.

What influences is Flynn showing for fashion-conscious clients today?

Ultimo Euromoda carries the Japanese-owned MIKO International collection, which is women’s wear designed and manufactured in Canada. MIKO International has a full suit program for women, and Flynn notes that clients often buy the jacket first and then like it so much they return to buy the pants or skirt.

Another benefit of athleisure-type fabrics is that they are form-fitting.

Flynn points out that for a muscular man or a curvy-but-athletic woman, this makes it easier to wear a slim cut without having to go a size bigger.

Clients really appreciate avoiding a bulky look and athletes are big fans of Flynn and Ultimo Euromoda for this reason. The store is also a favourite of local grooms and groomsmen conscious of the aesthetic on their wedding day.

The store is packed with fashions featuring four-way stretch fabrics and jersey materials, whether that’s a blazer, dress pants or jeans. Another reality of living in Saskatoon is having to travel to larger cities for business.

Flynn is confident the high-tech

fabrics of today mean that clients can fly all day without creases or wrinkles and, in some cases, can just throw the suit in the washing machine at the end of a business trip.

“I can do a full martial arts workout in this type of jacket and then pick up my girl for dinner right after,” says Flynn.

Other standouts include SAND Copenhagen men’s and women’s wear with tasteful but trendy suits. And there is the store’s bestselling men’s shirt from Vincent d’Amérique, which is priced at only $77.50. From Montreal, the Vincent d’Amérique line offers on-trend menswear at a reasonable price.

Texture is everywhere this Fall/ Winter 2018, including checks and herringbone patterns. Ultimo Euromoda features the whimsical Scottish women’s line, Joe Browns, with fun takes on a classic textured Chanel jacket.

What’s happening in footwear?

Flynn is carrying the Madrid-based line Muroexe which balances footwear functionality with minimalist design.

Men’s footwear is also combining the athleisure concept of high-tech materials with features like a dress shoe toe or an interesting texture.

Also from Spain, Bunker footwear has a Neoprene dress sneaker with a sleek toe that could work for an office or a night on the town.

Flynn concludes, “ With the economy tightening over the past few years, we offer great fashion for a reasonable price. Ultimately it matters how your clothes look at the end of the day, whether you’re

travelling on an airplane, in the office, out at a concert with friends or doing all three.”

Ultimo Euromoda is located at 204 Third Avenue South in Saskatoon and can be found online at ueclothing.com.

Customized skin care solutions that really work

BY JEANNIE ARMSTRONG

I

s your mirror making you unhappy? Have you resigned yourself to living with troubled skin because the endless array of “miracle” creams, lotions and potions you’ve purchased haven’t produced results?

Saskatoon family physician Dr. Coby Demkiw-Bartel has felt those same frustrations, looking for solutions to skin care problems that she began to experience in her 20s, including adult acne, hyperpigmentation, allergic irritation and signs of aging.

She personally investigated over 80 lines of skin care products and found “nothing really ever worked. Even prescription items were very harsh, problematic in some way or just not efficacious.”

Dr. Demkiw-Bartel set out to find effective skin care solutions, drawing on her unique clinical expertise as a laboratory technologist, pharmacist and a family physician with a special interest in dermatology.

Dr. Coby Demkiw-Bartel, CCFP, MD, BSP, BA, RT.

During her three decades of extensive research, Dr. Demkiw-Bartel has identified select medical grade skin care products and treatments that she has determined really live up to their claims.

To help others achieve their quest for healthier skin, Dr. Demkiw-Bartel founded “The SheDoc.com”, independent of her family medical practice. The website offers extensive details about the skin care treatments and products that she has found to be most effective.

Researching the latest advances in skin care remains Dr. Demkiw-Bartel’s passion. She has recently introduced a new skin care treatment to her patients: a medical-grade microneedling system.

“Microneedling naturally stimulates your skin’s own cells to produce more collagen and renew itself,” says Dr. Demkiw-Bartel.

The microneedling device is a roller made of surgical steel. “In combination with the stimulation created by the roller, we are able to deliver super serums deep into the skin. These are pure plant-based stem cells, hyaluronic acid and peptides that get results.”

She refers to a recent research study published in Dermatologic Surgery, the official publication of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, that confirms the “efficacy and safety of microneedling for the treatment of scars, acne, melasma (brown spots), photorejuvenation, hyperhidrosis, alopecia and the facilitation of transdermal drug delivery.”

Another study revealed that microneedle therapy was more effective than IPL (Intense Pulse Light) treatments in stimulating collagen production in the skin’s outer layer. Results were achieved more quickly, with minimal risk. The study found that IPL treatments produced lower levels of collagen, required a longer healing time, with potential risks of burning, scarring and pigment problems. What is also quite beneficial is that microneedling is also more cost effective than its alternatives.

“With physician microneedling, people don’t have downtime. You have a day of tightness and a little pinkness when you go home, but by morning any visual drama is gone,” says Dr. DemkiwBartel.

After the recommended series of five physician treatments, patients can maintain those results with a home kit that she has developed. “My patients receive a thorough education session with the home kit, which includes a premium surgical steel roller, cleaning unit and serums.”

Dr. Demkiw-Bartel says the demand for her research-based skin care protocols is growing significantly.

“People are responding to the message.

The people I see aren’t interested in injectables and significant risk or downtime. They want to address their skin care differently and are looking for a scientifically proven alternative to injectables and lasers.”

The first step to achieving healthier skin is a complimentary consultation with Dr. Demkiw-Bartel. “After collecting the necessary information, I

create a customized skin care plan that is based on the patient’s needs, desires, goals and budget. There’s no obligation to purchase a thing. You can go home and think about it, go on the website and read more about the products.

When you’re ready to go ahead, we can

proceed at the patient’s comfort level,” she says.

“My skin care protocols are physician directed, meaning I’m personally customizing each client’s plans and performing all the treatments and procedures. Being hands-on allows me

to ensure that the patient is receiving optimum care and results,” says Dr. Demkiw-Bartel. “Seeing their results and responses is very gratifying.”

Debra George-Gabruch fought and won a tough battle with cancer, a struggle that she felt was reflected in her appearance. “After battling cancer, I needed a little bit of a lift. I was ready for a change,” says GeorgeGabruch.

Farm life means George-Gabruch is busy outdoors, spring through fall.

“There was concern about age spots and sun damage.” She also wondered if chemo and radiation treatments had taken a toll on her skin.

secret to success at Elwood Flynn

JENNIFER JACOBY-SMITH

S

hopping for clothing has changed a lot since Elwood Flynn opened his menswear store 65 years ago.

Then shopping was an experience, a social experience really, where you were bound to run into friends or acquaintances for a short visit. Now shopping for clothes can consist of simply clicking on a website.

But the long-time staffers at Elwood Flynn, Rob McNab and Ryan Walter say there is nothing that can duplicate the experience of shopping in person.

“You can buy anything online.

Measuring yourself and sending in your measurements isn’t the best way to buy clothes,” says McNab. “There’s a lot more involved in a proper fitting suit than the templates that you see from online companies.”

He adds that there are limits to online shopping. “If you’re online you have to know what you want, but you don’t always know what you want.”

For one thing it eliminates the stroke of inspiration that can hit at the sight of a new tie, shirt or pair of shoes. McNab said he once met a man who bought an entire suit because he fell in love with a tie and had nothing that worked with it in his wardrobe.

Another advantage to stepping into the physical store is the service.

“People can come in here and they can have such a personal experience.

We can give them a personal experience and we genuinely look after them,” says Walter.

Over time the staff get to know their customers. There’s a rapport, an understanding, a trusted relationship, fostered by the fact that customers are often dealing with the same people.

Young men often buy their first suit for graduation, return for a con-

vocation suit, perhaps another for their first job and then a suit for their wedding. The cycle can repeat itself with the next generation.

A store with the longevity of Elwood Flynn is now onto third generation shoppers.

“Elwood has been here for 60 years. He’s got third generation customers. That is maybe something unique to this store. There is some continuity,” says McNab. The customized fittings for a suit can take time. The team is dedicated to getting things just right, with the perfect fit, the perfect look. There is a reason the staff affectionately refer to the store as “The Suit Store”.

Elwood Flynn carries more than just custom suits, however. For fall the team recommends the ever-essential and multi-purpose sport coat.

“It can be dressed up with a shirt and tie. It can be layered with knitwear and a sport shirt,” points out Walter. “It can be worn with a dressier pant or a jean.”

McNab adds that sport coats usually come in a broader colour palette than traditional suiting fabrics, giving men a bit more choice.

Blue continues to be the biggest trend in men’s fashion, however, McNab suggestions building a wardrobe can take time and can mean paying less attention to changeable trends.

“We’re a little more into investment dressing. This idea that you can buy something that you can wear for a while,” says McNab. Regardless of whether you’re shopping for a shirt and tie combo, or need a new sport coat for fall, or a brand new suit, the team at Elwood Flynn can help you find something that will have you looking spectacular. Not just now, but years from now.

Look great, feel great this season!

JEANNIE ARMSTRONG

T

he arrival of autumn means it’s time to switch up your wardrobe and get back to business.

What fashion essentials should every style-conscious man be looking for? We asked Gord Burgess, owner of Caswells Co. Ltd., for his recommendations on this season’s “must-have” wardrobe items. Locally owned, Caswells has been known as “The Store for Men” in downtown Saskatoon for the past 107 years.

THE SPORT COAT The sport coat is one fashion essential that will take you everywhere in style. When you’re in business mode, team it with a shirt, tie and dress pants. For casual occasions, the sport coat and dark slim-fitting denims are a winning duo.

The new sport coat is also extremely comfortable. “We’re seeing stretch and knit fabrications in sport coats for added comfort,” notes Burgess.

“Construction in the garments has stayed fairly soft. Shoulders are natural; there isn’t a lot of heavy padding.

The silhouette is still slim and neat.”

Textures add surface interest to this season’s sport coat collection.

“There are a lot of semi-solids with underlying tones,” says Burgess.

“We’re also seeing some interesting accent colours in sport coats, including a few reds and burgundies.”

Caswells’ sport coat selection features top designer labels from Europe and beyond, including the Netherlands’ Van Gils and Austria’s Baldessarini.

Werner Baldessarini was the former chair and chief designer at Hugo Boss. Now he’s running his own fashion house, creating signature fashions for the successful and confident man.

“Baldessarini is an exclusive line to Caswells. We’ve expanded our selection for fall to include sport coats, sport shirts, denim and stretch cotton pants. It’s a full casual collection,” says Burgess.

THE SUIT Blues and greys are still dominating the colour palette for men’s suiting, says Burgess. “For fall, the mid-blues are leading the way. The tones aren’t as bright as they were for spring.”

Men continue to increasingly turn to custom suits as a way to individualize their business attire. “Custom suiting isn’t just for the person that needs a custom suit because of fit.

A lot of men are opting for custom suits because of the extra details and personal touches that can be incor-

porated into the garment. You can select your own fabrics and linings, your own buttons, different stitching details. You can really customize the look of your garment, as well as the fit,” says Burgess.

Where you source your custommade suit is equally important, notes Burgess. “You should know the history of the company you’re dealing with. You should be confident there are people on staff who can do proper measurements. There’s a lot of interpretation done to determine what the customer wants and needs. To ensure we’re achieving the fit and look that the customer has in mind, there’s a lot of discussion.”

THE SHIRT After several seasons of prints, Burgess says designers are introducing solid colour dress shirts, in flattering rich tones.

“The other thing we’re seeing in shirts is an increase in the amount of stretch fabrics, for enhanced fit and comfort. This season, we have expanded our selection of stretch shirts from Baldessarini and have added product from Canadian designer Robert Barakett. The new men’s casual collection by Robert Barakett features quite a few of these comfort stretch fabrics for Fall/Winter 2018.”

For casual wear, flannel shirts are in demand. “We’re seeing a lot of flannel this season. It’s not that heavy, scratchy lumberjack flannel of old. There’s a lot of nice mid-to-light-

weight flannel, primarily in checks,” says Burgess.

“That doesn’t mean that the dressier print shirt is gone. It just means there’s a new segment of shirts hitting the market.”

DENIM AND BEYOND “Denim is still very strong this season, but there are lots of denim alternates out there,” says Burgess. “We’re showing a lot of coloured denim this season, as well as the traditional dark blue. There are also new offerings in cotton pants, with some interesting textures.”

FALL FOOTWEAR Men are paying more attention than ever to finishing details, such as ties, pocket squares, footwear and belts.

“Our footwear selection has expanded significantly. There are more unique looks in shoes for men.

Textures are particularly important this season. We’re seeing textured accents, such as perforated leathers or reptile prints. If the shoes are textured, the belt will be a bit textured, too,” says Burgess.

To complement the blues and greys in your wardrobe, Burgess suggests “the British tans and mid-browns” in footwear. “For black and charcoal suiting, black shoes are best.”

OUTERWEAR World famous Canada Goose parkas continue to be a bestseller for Caswells. Burgess recently received this season’s newest Canada Goose

WHERE STYLE AND COMFORT MEET At Caswells, the style-conscious man can feel as good as he looks! Mike Bondarenko, with She Modelling, highlights one of this season’s newest sport coats by Bugatchi. The burgundy blazer is from a knitted stretch fabric for the ultimate in comfort. The jacket pairs nicely with a classic dress trouser or as shown here, dark stretch five-pocket denims from German designer Brax.

collection, which includes “a couple of new designs, including their Arctic parkas as well as a grouping of lighter-weight mid-season downfilled jackets.”

Don’t wait for winter’s worst to

shop for Canada Goose, Burgess warns. “Canada Goose sells out so quickly around the world. Get them early because once they’re gone, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to get any more in for the season.”

CHILL OUT! Saskatchewan residents take winter very seriously. So does Canada Goose. Designed to conquer the rugged demands of the Arctic, the Canada Goose collection is a best seller for Caswells Co. Ltd. Here, Mike Bondarenko with She Modelling, wears the Hendriksen jacket from the Canada Goose Black Label collection. In Fall 2018’s new colour of Admiral Blue, this hip-length hooded jacket features a quilted front panel and sleeves, a plain back with double side vents.

ON OUR COVER For Caswells Co. Ltd., Mike Bondarenko with She Modelling, brings style to the forefront in a Van Gils blue houndstooth sport coat, exemplifying this season’s popular slim fashion fit. The blue knit stretch shirt by Baldessarini delivers comfort and style in a trim silhouette.

Adding a casual vibe are dark denim jeans by 7 For All Mankind, completed by a short demi boot by German fashion brand Bugatti, all from Caswells Co. Ltd., in downtown Saskatoon at 144 Second Avenue South.

n fashion, a finely tailored garment represents the epitome of style.

Impeccable tailoring also defines the fit and style of The 105 at Stonebridge, the newest lifestyle condominium project from North Ridge Development Corporation.

The 105 stands out for its modern architectural styling and dramatic roofline, strikingly attired in Hardieboard, brick and woodgrain accents. Located at 105 Willis Crescent, the building overlooks one of Stonebridge’s most beautiful green spaces: Peter Zakreski Park.

Within its contemporary exterior are 14 different suite options, designed for every stage of life. Terri Leatherdale, sales representative with North Ridge, says floor plans range from approximately 750 to 1,330 square feet. “We have everything from studios, to one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus-den and two-bedroom suites, priced starting at $220,000. There are also a few micro-suites available.”

Three show suites are available for viewing at The 105, demonstrating three different sizes and layouts of units, as well as décor packages. The show suites are adjacent to each other, so you can easily walk through each unit and make comparisons.

The varied floor plans are strategically designed to maximize living space within each unit. Within the open concept layouts, living rooms connect to kitchens with an easy flow that’s ideal for entertaining.

“With many of the two-bedroom suites, the sleeping areas are separated on either side of the unit, providing added privacy when you have guests,” says Leatherdale.

At The 105, home buyers can not only select the floor plan that’s best suited to their lifestyle, by purchasing early they can also customize its interior, selecting from designer-curated colour palettes.

North Ridge commissioned acclaimed designer Edie Riekman to create four different colour and décor boards that reflect the latest interior design trends and finishes.

The choices don’t stop there. “Each colour board has its own designer lighting package. The kitchen cabinets are by Superior Cabinets, offering a variety of different door profiles and handles. Quartz is the standard countertop, along with tile

backsplashes. Engineered luxury vinyl plank flooring is the standard, but people can choose other flooring products on an upgrade basis,” says Leatherdale.

Also included with each suite are designer window treatments by Hunter Douglas and a Whirlpool appliance package.

While planning The 105 at Stonebridge, Leatherdale says that North Ridge conducted a lot of research to determine what features and amenities were at the top of consumers’ wish lists. “We wanted to know what was really important to potential buyers.”

As a result, The 105 offers a number of exciting amenities, including an on-site fitness studio, a beautifully appointed guest suite and and a hotel-style lobby with soft seating and a fireplace. The 105 Lounge is a stylish amenities room ideal for large gatherings, featuring a big screen TV, honour library and billiards area. It adjoins an outdoor patio, complete with barbecues, patio heaters and soft seating.

“Both of these areas will have very much of a community feel to it, and if residents want, they can use the space for private functions,” says Leatherdale.

The heated underground parkade is bright and spacious, with secured entrances. “In the front of each parking spot there are very large walled-in storage rooms, with doors that are keyed with deadbolts,” she adds.

Named Builder of the Year for a third consecutive year at the Saskatoon & Region Home Builders’ Association’s Bridges Awards, it’s not surprising that North Ridge has brought exceptional quality of construction and attention to detail to The 105 at Stonebridge.

North Ridge’s advanced building technologies drastically reduce sound transmission between units. “At The 105, we’ve introduced a new rubber sound reducing component to the sound insulation system between the floors – on top of our already acclaimed seven-layer sound insulation system,” says Leatherdale.

“The entire building is also wrapped with 1.5 inches of Styrofoam which adds an extra 7.5 R-value to all the walls and eliminates thermal bridging.”

North Ridge has also utilized the high efficiency heating and cooling technologies to ensure the comfort of its residents.

Each condo unit has its own high velocity heating and cooling system, that includes

At all of its developments, North Ridge takes a pro-active approach to customer service, just one reason the company was the 2016 Avid Ratings’ Best Multi-Family Award recipient for Customer Service in

all of Canada. “We offer a Comprehensive Care Warranty Program which is the gold standard for the industry. We contact our homeowners several times during their first year of possession to ensure there are no warranty concerns,” says Leatherdale.

come from a long line of hairdressers. My grandfather, James Victor, Sr., owned a series of beauty schools in southern California starting in the 1950s. He wrote several hairstyling books over the next couple of decades.

My father, James Victor, Jr., was a platform artist for Redken in the 1970s and 80s. Not to mention some of my earliest memories come from my mom’s small beauty salon in Wilkie, Sask.

While I didn’t take that career path myself, I’ve become fascinated with this art form – a perfect marriage of practicality, creative expression, and current fashion.

Few things about the 1960s are as indelible as the beehive. Like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s the look still inspires.

ing some of these iconic hairstyles that defined their era. I’ll reference celebrities that showcased these distinctive looks and had everyone clamouring for their hairdresser to duplicate it.

1940s Finger waves created sultry looks that almost perfectly capture that old Hollywood glamour. Alongside the finger waves you’ll find victory rolls (think Veronica Lake or Lucille Ball), that were a way to celebrate the end of World War II. 1950s Heat set hairstyles with rollers created a look that was very coifed – think of the bombshell glamour of Marilyn Monroe. My grandfather wrote a book titled “The Convertible Cut” which featured neatly coifed curls. It was one of many elegant styles of the decade.

1960s Probably the most iconic image from the 1960s is the beehive, such as Audrey Hepburn’s tiara-wrapped beehive in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The decade itself saw monumental shifts in cultural norms, with the status quo being challenged in a variety of ways. In hairstyling no one embodied it more than Vidal Sassoon who stunned the fashion world with Mary Quant’s angular bob or Mia Farrow’s pixie cut for the film Rosemary’s baby.

1970s Gone was highly stylized hair. Natural hair was the look. Afros were big.

Hair was meant to be touched and it wasn’t supposed to look or feel coifed.

The most iconic look of the decade was the easy, breezy feathered looks, prob-

Layered hairstyles, like this one, have remained popular throughout the decades, though few are as iconic as Farrah Fawcett in the late 1970s. VISIONS SALON

The current decade in hair can be summed up in one word – colour. Rich vibrant reds like this undercut will definitely turn heads.

ably captured best by Farrah Fawcett.

When Vision Salon owner Wayne Grund started in the industry in 1978, Fawcett’s look was all the rage and the flattering style continues to have fans.

“In every decade there has been a version of these long layers,” says Grund. “In our Surface cutting system this look is called Freedom.”

1980s Early in the decade, a cropped feathered bob became popular, made most famous by Lady Diana Spencer, later the Princess of Wales.

The decade that brought us shoulder pads and the Walkman, also brought us big hair. Teased and permed hair was everywhere. It’s like we had to get our hair to occupy as much physical space as possible. A good stiff hair spray and a teasing comb were required implements.

1990s You’d pretty much have to live under a rock not to know about The Rachel. This infamous chunky shag cut was created for Jennifer Aniston’s character Rachel on the 1990s sitcom Friends. It didn’t take long for everyone to visit their hairdresser and ask for a version of it, despite the fact it was difficult to maintain. Meg Ryan’s shorter cropped curls were a lower maintenance option.

2000s Long straight hair might have been popular in the 1990s, but in the next decade those long locks were allowed to show some curves.

Beach waves were on runways and on magazine covers.

It was natural, effortless looking hair – no matter how long it took you to get the look. A great example was model Gisele Bundchen.

TODAY… Some of those iconic looks were easy to spot, but today? What’s the definitive style of the 2010s? Is there one? It seems hair styles are all over the place – long, short, medium, coifed and tidy, or loose and luscious. Perhaps this is because hair trends seem to shift quickly these days.

“Social media has made fashion instantly global. Past decades saw a yearly theme. Now looks are instantly online and lifestyle driven,” notes Grund.

One of the trends that seems to be fairly dominant is funky hair colour.

“Colour is huge,” says Grund. “Reds are redder, blondes are blonder and brunettes are iconic. While fantasy colour makes the headlines, solid healthy real colour leads the way for the vast majority.”

Hair seems to have become less about duplicating an iconic look and more about blazing a trail for yourself, creating a look that is solely yours, a unique expression of your mood, your creativity or even a personal style statement.

From Pink’s undercut to Mia Farrow’s infamous pixie cut to Marilyn Monroe’s sultry waves, hair styles have changed and even challenged beauty trends over the decades. Whatever is next for hair, it will continue to both shape our culture and be shaped by our culture, and add a measure of beauty to our every day experience.

he Village at Stonebridge is LutherCare Communities’ innovative seniors’ residence located in the Stonebridge area of Saskatoon. Today’s seniors are more vibrant, active and style-conscious, and LutherCare has fashioned The Village to suit their lifestyles.

Vivienne Hauck is Chief Executive Officer of LutherCare Communities.

Hauck herself is a dynamic leader and innovator and has set the tone and ambience for The Village.

As a Registered Psychiatric Nurse, Hauck started with LutherCare as nurse-in-charge of an adult day program in 1985. She grew up in England and met her Canadian husband at the University of Manchester. Today, Hauck and her husband (a Saskatoonbased podiatrist) have three grown sons.

“LutherCare Communities has always been at the cutting edge of senior living design and service in Saskatchewan. And, the dynamic work environment of LutherCare means that our staff remain with LutherCare which is also important to our residents,” says Hauck.

The Village’s builders, Meridian Development, succeeded in creating a modern resort feeling that’s obvious as soon as residents and guests enter the huge lobby. AODBT Architects + Interior Design used rich and timeless materials such as natural stone, dark wood and decorative glass to create an elegant aesthetic throughout The Village.

LutherCare has been a presence in Saskatoon for more than 60 years and is a faith-based organization. In 1978 the 22-storey, 195-suite Luther

Tower on Temperance Street opened in Saskatoon. “Many seniors housing communities in Saskatchewan are now based on a similar model to Luther Tower with meals provided and recreational activities for residents,” says Hauck.

In 1989, also in Saskatoon, Luther Heights community opened on Alexandra Avenue with 120 suites. Luther Heights was inspired by senior living trends and practices that the LutherCare team saw in Norway and Sweden. Fifty of the Luther Heights suites are subsidized by the government.

In November 2016 The Village opened with 159 spacious one- or two-bedroom suites, each with a full kitchen, in-suite laundry and an outdoor deck. A chapel, a gym, a library, a theatre and a large activity room are all part of the common areas. Underground parking, guest suites and shuttles to medical appointments are other amenities that The Village’s residents enjoy.

“As an organization, we offer residents a Continuum of Living™. As their daily care needs change, our residents can remain within the LutherCare family. The average amount of time an individual lives in a seniors’ residence is five to eight years. The average amount of time in intermediate care is two to three years. These are probably a shorter duration than most people anticipate,” explains Hauck.

At The Village, a 27-bed intermediate care wing offers a higher level of care where residents still have their own rooms with a restroom and shower. Intermediate care rooms are located on the main floor, at least three staff members are always on hand, and all meals are provided. Residents can also bring their own furniture. The intermediate care wing can serve as a re-

spite care option after a hospital stay, before a resident returns to enriched independent living.

What makes The Village unique?

Hauck mentions several things beyond the beautiful design, large suites and many amenities. It’s a great place for active singles and couples to live because there is always something to do. Plus, some residents still go down south during cold Saskatoon winters and know that their suite will be taken care of.

Hauck encourages people to start thinking about a seniors’ residence in their mid-70s, since it is easy to underestimate the impact of a large move and a major lifestyle change.

There is a licensed on-site restaurant called the Village Bistro that is open to the public. The Village’s awardwinning chef, Darren Craddock, is another one of the inviting amenities.

Craddock was previously the executive chef at Delta Hotels Bessborough by Marriott and the Riverside Country Club.

“Food is so important, and The Village at Stonebridge has excellent food,” notes Hauck.

A great way to experience The Village Bistro is to attend the upcoming Saskatoon StarPhoenix Fashion Road Show on Thursday, October 18, at 12 noon.

Recently, LutherCare launched the first Saskatchewan chapter of Cycling Without Age. Founded in Denmark in 2012, the program improves the quality of life for seniors with limited mobility by taking them on recreational bicycle rides. LutherCare purchased two trishaw, power-assisted bicycles from Denmark and the activity is very popular.

UNIQUE LOCAL ITEMS

Remai Modern Art & Design Store is sure to inspire HILARY KLASSEN

lluminated by generous natural light that filters through giant glass walls, the Remai Modern Art & Design Store is an ideal space to pause and take a breath. The shop is a visual gift to the senses, presenting notable one-of-a-kind local, national and international art and giftware.

With South Saskatchewan River vistas as a backdrop, the store channels the spirit of the Remai Modern art gallery and museum. “Our vision is to offer a modern twist to jewelry, home décor and any items that reflect our museum programming,” says manager Glen McKee. The store has become a destination for gift giving since opening about a year ago, attracting individuals who seek unique gifts for weddings, Christmas and any other occasion, to mark life’s special moments or just because.

“We source items that people will hand down, not things that are here today and gone tomorrow,” says McKee. With a ‘first-to-market’ approach, many of those items are somewhat

exclusive to the Remai Modern.

McKee says the number one comment they hear from customers is, “Oh, I’ve never seen that before.”

That’s the case with Dene bead artist, painter and jeweller, Catherine Blackburn, from the English River First Nation. Blackburn’s bracelet was chosen by Remai Modern as this year’s Fall Style Week jewelry contest item. “Her pieces are all one-of-akind. There are no two pieces alike,” says McKee. In a world often defined by mass production this is welcome news.

Product selections are informed by exhibitions currently on display at Remai Modern. The museum is home to the largest Picasso linocut collection in the world, which means the gift store reflects a large Picasso presence. McKee works with the curatorial team and others in the office to choose products that reflect the gallery experience. “All of the Picasso items – the posters, the pillows – we’ve sourced them from France and all over the world,” he says.

Those who are captivated by the current Walter Scott show can find a couple of his books in the store. In-

digenous exhibitions are ongoing at the museum and a selection of Indigenous art and jewelry can be found there as well.

Products are also chosen for their functionality. Design-focused items like a teapot with a unique steeping system brought in from the U.S. passed an initial functionality test, resulting in the whole line being brought in. The Alkemista, an alcohol infusion system, allows anyone to craft and serve custom cocktails infused with their favourite berries or nuts.

A Saskatoon tea towel sold in the shop was a fun, collaborative design effort. “It was hand-sewn by the artist, hand-screen printed and handdesigned. We all had a part in the design. The amount of positive comments about it has been astounding,” says McKee. The store targets a diversity of consumers, from the youngest to the elders, with products at all price points. “We have children’s toys to engage children in activities and art and design,” says McKee. Jewelry and art designs may be fashioned from a variety of materials including metal,

concrete, wood, glass, resin, porcelain, birch bark and more. In-store items are sometimes called upon for use in photo shoots.

The Remai Modern Art & Design store functions as an extension of the museum and serves a vital role in supporting it. “As a not-for-profit store, all the funds we raise here go toward supporting programming in the museum as well as the artists

whose work we are proud to display,” says McKee. Participating in that kind of support can be a great motivation to shoppers.

For gift-giving or simply adding to your personal collection, the Art & Design Store at 102 Spadina Crescent East in Saskatoon is bound to inspire. Find inspiration online at https://remaimodern.org/visit/shop/ art-design-store.
