GotStyle is one of my favourite Toronto menswear stores. They have an eclectic mix of European, American and Canadian designers including my newest fav Bustle. I loved the style of the Summer 2007 line. The playful mix of country club chic with modern lines was a refreshing take on summer classics. The challenge was the fabrics were horrific, heavy man-made fabrics are not what I want to wear for summer. But don’t let this diminish the polish, style and potential for Bustle. The Fall-Winter 2007 collection is stunning.
I’m disappointed that GotStyle didn’t have the above blazer. I love the fabric. I love the orange silk details including the pocket edge. I ended up settling for a very swanky navy pin-stripe but I would love to see a number of Toronto retailers take some risk on edgier designers like Bustle.
The best part about Bustle is that Shawn Hewson is a judge on this season of Project Runway Canada which is only going to help cement Shawn and the Bustle line in the spotlight of Canadian fashion. Check out his episode blog on Slice.ca.

I don’t think they carry Bustle anymore. I see more Canadian product in their now…like Lipson shirts….aargh. Looks like the edge has been lost.
