Ensuring that everyone had a great time, Famous, the Flow 93.5 personality who became a YouTube sensation with his President Too video, took to the stage as the night’s host.

TORONTO, ON – On Thursday, January 29th (2009), the red carpet will be rolled out in celebration of the launch of Creamworld Magazine’s winter ‘09 issue. Join Creamworld founder/publisher Marcus S. as he welcomes revellers, well-wishers and local celebs, including members of the Toronto Raptors and MTV host Nicole Holness. Toronto-based rapper and Flow 93.5 personality Famous, a You Tube sensation who has received media attention with his Barack Obama-inspired rap titled “President Too”, takes to the stage as the event’s host.

Since rebranding as a lifestyle publication and inking a national distribution deal with HDS Retail (Relay, Virgin) and Chapters/Indigo/Coles, Creamworld has strengthened its mandate to showcase Canada’s diverse industries, including auto, real estate, design and entertainment.

“Creamworld is a Canadian publication,” states Marcus S. “We understand the importance of supporting Canadian artists. After all, Canada is where we’re from.” Creamworld’s winter ‘09 issue features R & B singer Robin Thicke, a 13-page fashion editorial featuring Canada’s design talent and interviews with pop queen Lady Gaga and Toronto songstress Zaki Ibrahim.

The event will feature gift bags and giveaways from notable supporters, including Z. Kilani, Juzd Clothing, Vitamin Water and Flüd Watches. Models will rock the event, informally modeling the latest creations from lifestyle brand Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier. Exclusive bottle service will be provided by CÎROC, an ultra-premium vodka that has acquired a loyal following among Hollywood’s A-list.

Fashion bits…

So you’ve been holding onto your favourite bra for years even thought it’s fraying at the edges.  Time to find a new support system, don’t you think?

Give your undergarments a pretty boost with luxury labels like Betsey Johnson, Vera Wang, Carole Hochman, Spanx and Prima Donna, and get up to 70% off at Linea Intima (1925 Avenue Rd.) to help clear out some space before the flagship Toronto shop undergoes renos!

The pre-reno sale on bras, panties, hosiery, robes and swim and sleep wear runs from Aug. 5 to 20.

Almost Naked

Pull your pants back up.  On second thought, you may want to pull ‘em down.

Featuring walls full of fantastic skivvies, Queen St. W. addition, Almost Naked (479 Queen St. W.), is bringing colourful focus to what lies beneath.

With collections from Diesel, Calvin Klein, Shultz, Ed Hardy and the oh-so provocative Netherlands label, Marlies Dekkers, you could soon find your under-layers turning into quite the conversation pieces.

Bamboo first

Holt Renfrew keeps sharpening its edge.

The retail chain, which gives great play to Canuck clothing labels, has gone one step further by bringing on a largely unknown Toronto designer. 

His name is Jing Liu and if you’ve never hear of him or his JUZD (pronounced joost) Bamboo streetwear collection, don’t’ be surprised.  After all, he has never been trained in fashion design or cut his teeth at a design firm.

That, however, hasn’t stopped Holts from taking the unusual step of bringing the newbie designer’s graphic-laden garb-the world’s first designer bamboo label-to its high-end department stores.

The collection was delivered to Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver earlier this month.  Check out Liu’s work at: juzdbamboo.com
