I have a obsession with winter coats. I like to blame it on my Canadian upbringing. Coats are an essential part of one’s winter wardrobe – it almost doesn’t matter what you’re wearing under your coat as long as your coat looks great. We spend a lot of time thinking about our wardrobe but often we forget about the coat even though we wear a coat every day in the winter. A coat can say a lot about us. I like a coat that’s not too long, that’s warm (usually a wool cashmere blend) with good pockets and a simple cut. This allows me to get a lot of wear out of my coat and since I’m wearing it every day I want to like it and not get tired of it.
I received from Isabella Oliver which was beautifully boxed with and wrapped in tissue paper. I wanted to pick my coat online, just to see how well I could choose a coat for myself on their website. I do like shopping online but sometimes I’m never really sure how something will look, but their website has video as well, which really allows you to see how the garment moves – which is what made me really want the coat!

Bruce Weber worked with Moncler owner, Remo Ruffini and had custom designed Moncler coats made for his Golden Retrievers as part of the autumn winter 2009 campaign.

Everyone who’s braved a cold dark winter knows that when you wear a parka you feel like a giant puff ball!

As a Canadian I feel I know and understand the value of a good parka. Most of them are ugly. I’m already short and feel a bit rolly-polly in a big down coat. Fortunately there are brands like Moncler who take the parka to new levels.Giambattista Valli’s Gamme Rouge collection for Moncler (the luxury Italian sportswear brand) takes the parka to places that dreams are made of! It feels like the brand went from basic down coats to a luxury fashion brand in an instant, which isn’t really true - Moncler started in the 1950s and created the first down-filled coat. They also dressed the Italian Olympic ski team for the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France.

I’m not a fan of the puffy down coat. I lived in Winnipeg for a few years and the long down parka is just not a flattering look. When you’re in high school you don’t care about being practical or about being cold, even if it’s -30 and you’re waiting for the bus.
To my shock Uniqlo has made the down jacket fashionable – who knew that could ever happen…
