“HOW DO YOU ROCK YOUR VOGUE?”


Model- Hana

Hana has never modeled before, in fact, the last time she got her make-up done was for prom. If she had to pick just one, her favorite model is Adriana Lima because she is so down to earth.

How do you RYV? “Listening to music 24/7”



Model- Megan

Megan decided to model for OHM because she wanted do as much as she could to support this great cause. Her favorite model is Heather Marks because she hails from Calgary (just like Megan), is very ambitious, and has made it so far so quickly….not to mention she’s gorgeous.

How do you RYV? “By meeting someone new every single day”


Model- Brittany

Brit wanted to model for OHM because she thought it would be a lot of fun. Why not wear outstanding clothes, get your hair and makeup done by professionals, and run around in front of a camera all day?

How do you RYV? “By meeting someone new every single day”



Creative Director- Bailey

Bailey was inspired to do this photo shoot in order to bring so many people together. “OHM gives so many people the opportunity to shine and that’s what I wanted to do with this shoot.” OHM has been introduced to so many new faces this year and she hoped that shoot would do the same.

How do you RYV? “Wearing skirts! Cold London winters have forced be to slip on a pair of pants every once in a while, but I can’t resist rocking a cute mini, even in the dead of winter.”



Photo Shoot Coordinators- Jaquie and Jaclyn

It took these girls about two weeks to figure out all the details and put this awesome shoot together. Of all, they were most excited to see the outfits chosen for the models and to see the amazing photography that comes out of it.

How do you RYV? Jaquie: “Drawing and designing images on adobe.”
How do you RYV? Jaclyn: “Going out for dinner.”



Costumers Coordinators- Danielle and Lauren

Their inspiration for the shoot came from Rihanna- “she’s not afraid of bold accessories.”

How do you RYV? “Listening to classic rock, and obviously shopping!”



Hair- Miranda

Advice from a professional: Her favorite hair products are Bed Head’s line rock-a-holic.

How do you RYV? “Styling people’s hair and dancing the night away.”





Makeup- Missy

Her favorite brands of product are MAC, Make up forever, and Dior- each are dramatic in their own way.

How do you RYV? “As a freelance makeup artist.”

A Crucial Catch

You may be wondering why this tough football player is wearing bright pink gloves. Well, that’s because the NFL is proud to support the fight against breast cancer. Their campaign, “A Crucial Catch” in association with the American Cancer Society, aims at improving breast cancer awareness by featuring players, coaches, and referees wearing pink game apparel. It’s touching to see these bright pink accessories dazzle the field of such an aggressive sport. You can find out more about this campaign by clicking here.

Thanks to all of you who have contributed towards the fight against breast cancer by supporting OHM!

Floral Prints

It’s that time of year again - the holiday season is over, and winter seems to have no end in sight. With my winter boots, knitted hats and snugly mittens losing their novelty, I’m daydreaming of spring’s lively spirit to revitalize my wardrobe (and, of course, a chance to see what OHM’s designers have concocted for spring in our approaching fashion show). But hey, why daydream when you can bring spring into your closet even in the depth of winter? All it takes is some bold accessories, vibrant colours, and charming floral prints. I love TOPSHOP’S collection of florals - especially their muted floral jeans (pictured above).

These funky florals will have you feeling like your roaming the streets on a hot summer day licking vanilla soft serve in no time -- hey, one can dream, right?...

OHM's Success Story

Brandon R. Dwyer from Ontario, Canada, age 22, is an inspiration for all. Starting off in the fashion design program at Fanshawe College in London Ontario and an OHM alumni designer, he has now made it into the spotlight. After his début on the second season of Global’s reality series Project Runway Canada, his collection “Garden Party Glam” was on the runway as part of Toronto Fashion Week on Friday October 23rd, 2009.
Flare Magazine described designer Brandon Dwyer as, ‘one to watch for.’ His inspiration? Oscar de la Renta and Donatella Versace.
How does he manage to differentiate his collections from all others? "I have a unique, organic style. I think this will give me an edge."

Now Brandon’s collection is featured in magazines such as Flare. Check out his magnificent black leather dress.



Brandon’s advice, “really make sure it’s what you want. To make it anywhere in this industry you have to push harder than you think even possible. I have spent countless days and nights without sleep to make it to where I am, with very little money being made. I think if your passionate about what you do, you will make sacrifices, and make the best out of every opportunity.”

What’s Hot for this Season?

How to rock your vogue in 2010…

1. The warrior look- The military and tribal looks collide to create this fierce fashion trend. Rivets, studs, and jewels…more the better. Especially in that rustic gun metal colour. However, the main criteria for the modern warrior is confidence.






2. Tights that look like jeans- Get the comfort without the hassle. These leggings look essentially like jeans, with stitching and all, but are made with super stretch fabrics.


3. Big watches- If you thought watches were big before then you are in for an even bigger surprise. Don’t look for feminine lines, these masculine looking pieces have become not only watches but bracelets. Accents of yellow gold and rose gold are particularly hot.





4. Navy blue and grey- this classic colour combo is back and bigger than ever for any and every ensemble.


5. Oversized dress shirts- Paired perfectly with blue jeans or leggings.










6. Patterned and printed pants- We’re no longer sticking with boring solid colours, all varieties of prints and patterns have made their way onto the runways. Whether floral, striped, abstract, bold or subdued... patterns on pants are giving us new bold wardrobe options.



7. Bag waist men’s trousers for women- This new look combines both style and comfort. The slouchy look is hotter than ever.
