Canuck catwalker Eva Shaw (Ford) was, as she puts it, “ambushed” by strange man when she was thirteen. But before you start worrying about the direction of this story, it ends pretty well.

Today, when she’s not shooting editorials from Paris to Morocco, Eva is spinning electro beats and moving electro feets as DJ Bambi.

Music and fashion lovers gathered in numbers around 250,000 in the piping hot desert of Palm Springs for a three day, six stage, 200+ band concert series.

Daniel Vosovic knows how to dress a woman. He knows how to make a confident lady feel stronger and more poised than she already is. For Autumn/Winter 2011, he combined the quiet strength of a 19th century American pioneer woman with the control and sexual power of the S&M world. I got a chance to chat with Daniel at his fall 2011 collection review about his natural and urban inspiration, how his clothing is adapted for city life and what the Vosovic woman feels when wearing his garments.
