The best part of Barbie’s dream house? Her closet, of course! And while we’ll never actually be able to sample the doll’s hot pink wardrobe, the Hilary MacMillan Barbie collection comes pretty close. The Canadian vegan and cruelty-free brand has collaborated with the iconic Mattel toy on the nostalgic 15-piece collection ‘Shades of Pink.’ Each piece features references to Barbie through generations, and the capsule includes  pins made in collaboration with Canadian jewellery designer Biko. To mark the launch on August 11, MacMillan opened its first-ever pop-up concept store at 131 Bloor Street West in Toronto that “transports visitors into a luxe closet inspired by Barbie.”

Virgil Abloh’s legacy is celebrated at Nordstrom

Designer Virgil Abloh, who died in November, was best known for injecting optimism and innovation into everything he touched. So to celebrate the fashion icon, New Concepts@Nordstrom is partnering with his estate on the pop-up Concept 018: Virgil Abloh Securities. Available at Nordstrom Pacific Centre and on Nordstrom.ca, the shop within a shop features a range of women’s and men’s ready-to-wear apparel, shoes and accessories, and an exclusive Off-White Capsule.

Just because “third time’s the charm” is a cliché doesn’t mean it’s not true. And in the case of  Levi’s x GANNI, each time has been utterly charming. Their third collaboration, which made its debut at Copenhagen Fashion Week, is inspired by Mother Nature. The eight-piece collection is made with 55 per cent certified organic cotton and natural dyes and already has quite the famous fan base, as the campaign features Emma Chamberlain and friends. Expect elevated essentials for the last few days of summer, from pink jeans to a denim vest, available for purchase on August 18.
