Since the legendary designer recently received a star on the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style and has been busy promoting the recently released documentary he stars in, we wondered if conquering tinseltown was ‘the Last Emperor’s’ next big goal.

Making Love on the Gardiner

However you spend your Valentine”s day, in puppy love or lonely misery, the City of Toronto would like to remind you that someone (they are not naming names) does in fact love you. While it”s obvious the gossipy public service announcement, boldly proclaimed on the eastbound Gardiner Expressway just past Islington, serves to encourage better driving, I have to admit, it was also a nice reminder to get a last minute gift for my mom. And so I thank you Mayor Miller (I love you too), although the irony of endangering my driving for wanting to take this photo is not lost me.

Arise Magazine Launches - Naomi, Liya and Alek Cover Premiere Issue

The new monthly magazine, published by Nigerian newspaper ThisDay, will be launched this Friday alongside a African Fashion Collective Show at Bryant Park at New York Fashion Week.

Says ThisDay CEO Nduka Obaigbena,“I think it’s about an opportunity.…Africa has been under-reported and under-recognized. Meanwhile, so many big talents have African origins. We think it’s time Africa gets the rightful recognition in the global cultural landscape, and its fashion contribution is one of them.”

According to WWD, the magazine “is dedicated to African accomplishments in business, politics, fashion, music and overall culture” and will be sold in cities such as New York, Paris and London.
