Gigo Elmoselhi; 2013 |
| I grew up in London, Ont., went to university in Halifax and have been a proud Torontonian since 2004. | Are you originally from Toronto? | Proudly born and raised. |
| Old photos and maps, iconic signage and landmarks all play a role. |
What inspires your designs? | Usually an interesting typeface that can be manipulated. |
| Our City of Neighbourhoods Toronto collection — toques, Ts and crewnecks — is entirely made in Toronto. | Are your garments made in T.O.? | They’re designed and printed here, but the shirts themselves are sewn overseas. |
| I live in Summerhill and love it. But I miss my old stomping ground down near Trinity Bellwoods. |
What ’hood is closest to your heart? | I’m in love with Bloor West Village. It’s tied to so many wonderful memories from my childhood. |
| Well, Norm has worn one of our toques before, so until Drake reps #cityofneighbourhoods, we're on the Norm train. | Drake or Councillor Norm Kelly? | Norm Kelly. He loves Toronto almost as much as I do! |
| We were pretty pleased when Cara Delevingne and Method Man wore our Toronto toques. | Any celebs spotted in your gear? | Lead singer Matthew Vlahovich of Young Empires has shown some interest. |
| Our signature Cottage Coats and City of Neighbourhoods toques. |
Current must-have item? | The limited edition 416 Hoodie! |
