BEHIND THE ISSUE
1) Model and Toronto native CAMI
YOU- TEN lent us her ears (and arms and neck) for our Canadian jewellery shoot, “True Colours” (p. 108). Outside of accessories, what trends is she loving for spring? “I’m really excited to experiment with neon and see what I can come up with,” she says.
2) This issue of ELLE is brought to you by the letters E, R, W, S...you get the picture. Prop stylist CAITLIN
DOHERTY assembled the oversized alphabet created by artists TREVOR
WHEATLEY and COSMO DEAN as a beautifully verbose backdrop for our spring-fashion extravaganza, “New Order,” which we shot in their Scarborough, Ont., studio (p. 92).
3) “The highlight of my modelling career? Walking for Louis Vuitton for my first job as a male model and then being chosen to be part of their campaign,” says Vancouver native KROW, who was born a woman and modelled as one before transitioning. This month, he stars in our “New Order” shoot (p. 92). Also coming soon? The release of the documentary Krow’s TRANSformation, which chronicles his transition.
4) You know what’s better than getting a bouquet of flowers? Buying them for yourself, writes SARAH
MACDONALD in “Petal Power” (p. 78). How else does she treat herself? “Reading a book in a day and then starting another immediately after. Or staying in bed until noon, my cat atop my legs, not intending to move.”
5) Designer and St. Regis Hotel ambassador JASON WU and ELLE Canada EIC VANESSA CRAFT bonded over caftans, mac and cheese and hotel robes (three of their favourite things) during our video shoot at the new St. Regis Toronto. For our complete interview with the carb-loving designer, see p. 36.
