Northbound Leather Models of the Month: The November Edition

Northbound Leather‘s reign as purveyors of fine fetish fashion in Toronto is what the brand has come to be known best for over the years. What has fallen to the sidelines is their incredibly crafted/handmade line of outerwear that is the best Toronto has to offer. Take a look at the new Northbound coat and jacket designs featured in this November editorial pictured above and shot by me. Pass by the store and chat with one of the sales team to get your fall/winter jacket custom ordered to fit you and your price point.
 
The dapper Marcos Louro posed as our featured male model of the month. He is a 22-year-old Brazilian who has been modelling since he was fifteen. He is in Toronto completing med school. It is unfair that one man can be so handsome, so smart and so young all at once. And he can channel James Dean in leather too!
 
Charlotte Lind-petersen is our featured female model of the month. She is a 20-something Virgo with a passion for fashion and fun. Charlotte is a new recruit to Toronto, hailing originally from Vancouver. She welcomes all invitations that provide distractions from her sushi-slinging day job. We love the way she wears that white leather three-piece outfit. Madonna would be proud.

Hard Candy Fitness Hits Toronto.

HardCandy-1 HardCandy-7 HardCandy-8 HardCandy-14 HardCandy-34 HardCandy-37It’s not very often I get the opportunity to do interior shots so when Madonna’s new gym on Yonge Street, Hard Candy, called me up and requested my services I eagerly agreed. This place is a playground for big kids and somewhere to get seriously ripped. The trainers are smoking hot and the massive images of Madge littering the walls provide constant body sculpting inspiration. They have a largest spinning room in the city with stadium seating for better views. They also have men’s and women’s saunas and steam rooms; a luxury in the fast approaching Winter. All the equipment is brand new so go sign up quick so you can help break it in. x

Valdez.

Valdez-2Valdez-1 The old Cheval spot at 606 King West just reopened its doors as Valdez; a swank new eatery specializing in Latin street food. The massive upstairs patio is enclosed and heated so you can get that Summer vibe all year round. Teisha Evanson had make-up artist Bronwen Weiderick paint muerta faces on the staff for Halloween. It was quite a spectacle and gave the space an eerie and authentic vibe. Go get spooked over the best margarita in town. x
