Caftcad Partners with Tiff

FALL 2011 ISSUE 4

This September CAFTCAD is joining forces with the TIFF Bell Lightbox on a unique new exhibition that will showcase the work of many of our prominent members during the Toronto International Film Festival. Entitled “Otherworldly: The Art of Canadian Costume Design”, it will be a retrospective of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror movies and the unique challenges of designing costumes for these specialized types of films. CAFTCAD members whose costumes will be exhibited will include Monique Prudhomme and her Academy Award nominated work for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Alex Kavanagh’s many horror and sci-fi films, and clas- sics such as Johnny Mnemonic (Olga Dimitrov CD), Vid- eodrome (Delphine White CD). For a full list of featured films and the many costume designers and costume artists involved in them, please see the end of this article. OTHERWORLDLY CAFTCAD PARTNERS WITH TIFF

5 STUDIO SERVICES SPOTLIGHT Fun fashion footwear on the Queen West Strip HEEL BOY BY JENNIFER BUNT

Anyone who frequents the Queen St. West strip is familiar with the fabulous shoe store with the clever name. “Heel Boy” embraces its tongue in cheek name, placing a drink- ing bowl and bone shaped dog treats outside their open door. This well known shoe boutique features a wide range of men’s and women’s footwear from usual suspects such as Kenneth Cole and Steve Madden as well as more unusual and hard to find lines like Kelsi Dagger. Prices at this must visit boutique are affordable, rang- ing from $100- $500, with some styles even starting under $100.

A recent trip to this proud Studio Services vendor revealed everything from fashion forward stilettos to quirky casual shoes fit for the cot- tage and everything in between. Already gearing up for fall, Heel Boy is boasting an impressive collection of fabulous boots - ankle booties, motorcycle boots, over-the-knee suede and beyond. Owner Chloe Raincock is happy to give the scoop on fall’s footwear trends. She mentions animal prints, oxfords and colour blocking as three trends to watch for, but says that some favourites from past seasons - biker and riding boots, as well as platform heels - aren’t going anywhere.

Recently re-located to its new, expanded location on the south side of Queen Street, Heel Boy still maintains its commitment to great style and even better service. Chloe and her staff are helpful and ready to please. Their aim is to be a fun, friendly place with a wide selection of styles. “We are here to help you make a great purchase.” Chloe says, “We love shoes and we love that you love them too!” The team at Heel Boy is also overjoyed at their experience so far with the Studio Services program. When asked, Chloe’s response was emphatic, “I wish everyone was a member of CAFTCAD! So far we have had a very positive experience and it is quite beneficial for us. We are happy to be a part of it.” CAFTCAD is happy Heel Boy has joined our programme as well! 6 McQUEEN AND GAULTIER: TWO GREAT DESIGNERS, TWO
