Elevating into Summer!

Sun Worshipers,

Your god has finally returned! Not me! The warm glowing ball in the sky that warms your way as you blaze fashion trails anew. Summer's here, fashion fans! Rejoice!

Elevations has thawed out, and been very active since we last updated you. In April, Sean Jones and I attended the Sharp Magazine Book For Men Launch Party at The Design Exchange. It was an amazing night filled with beautiful people and a beautiful car! It was a star-studded event with great local talent such as JRDN, and some of the TFC squad. Check out the pics.

I had to get in on the action!

In May, my new partner-in-crime Sean Jones asked Elevations to collaborate on his upcoming album art. Elevations immediately jumped into action and prepared the story board and treatment in order to capture Sean's vision of what this new project meant to him. I can't share the amazing photos with you yet, but here's a shot of Sean and I on location at Mankind Grooming Studios at call time for the first location shoot. Trust me, these pics will be epic and will be the perfect re-introduction for Mr. Jones' new sound. Can't wait for this album! I've heard some of the tracks, and this sound will move you.

In June, Sean and I returned to Mankind Grooming Studios for their Modern Man 'X' Mankind VIP Event. It was a night to celebrate the distinguished gentlemen of Toronto, those chosen few who elect to give-a-damn about how they leave their humble abodes, and the women who appreciate their efforts. Elevations was representing their new association with the latest in men's fashion accessory companies, LD West! As you can see, those aren't guns I'm toting (unless you're looking at my arms!), that's my wallet and cellphone in a sexy holster. I hate having bulky pants pants pockets! This holster keeps my lines clean while accentuating my upper body. Guys... you need to pick one of these up! Get@me and I'll hook you up!

Stay tuned! Elevations will keep it moving so that you will always be...ELEVATED!

Elevations - Out and About

Hey Fashion-philes!

Hope you enjoyed Toronto Fashion Week, but the style in the city doesn't stop when Fashion Week closes! We at Elevations are pretty picky about which style events we attend, but we were truly excited to attend the First Year Anniversary of Tiger Of Sweden's flagship store, hosted by Sharp Magazine. It was a great event and we were thankful to be joined by our friend, Sean Jones, who is about to shake things up later this year when he drops his next album! We'll keep you posted!

Enjoy the pics!

Winter 2014 - Elevations Third Cover!

Hello Fashion Fans! For you die-hard style-aholics, we hope you're enjoying Toronto Fashion Week. The rest of you, we trust, are keeping warm as we all are still anxiously waiting for spring to finally sprung before we venture out of our hibernation with the latest spring trends.

We have had a very busy beginning to 2014 so far, and look forward to what's next for Elevations in 2014. As mentioned below, I recently did another presentation at Banana Republic, but prior to that, I did my 3rd cover in January! This cover was for a new magazine named Hoss. Needless to say, Elevations swung into action to give this DIY/Reno magazine it's sexiest cover to date! Our cover model is Danielle Bryk, star of HGTV's Bryk House, and you can find the magazine on news stands across Canada right now.

First and foremost, I'd like to thank Caitlin Power, The Academy Showroom and Town Shoes for donating their amazing pieces for this shoot.

Without further adieu, please enjoy the video and the pics from my latest shoot.

And some of the final pics!

Elevations & Banana Republic - Some Photos

Hello Fashion Fans!

You'll be happy to know that the latest Banana Republic event was a success! First and foremost, I'd like to thank the Banana Republic Men's Store in the Eaton Centre for the opportunity to present to their clients. I'd also like to thank all of the Elevations fans for their support! I'll keep working hard, if you keep elevating! For those of you who weren't able to attend, here are some pics! See you at the next event!

Elevations & Banana Republic - So Nice, We're Doing It Twice

Happy Winter-That-Never-Ends, Fashion Fans,

If you're like me, you're looking at your car, your shoes, and your boots, and wondering if that dusty gray film will ever disappear. You're also wondering if you have enough winter options to still look stylish in this polar vortex.

Never fear, fellows in fashion! Although, I can't help you with the layer of salt on your car, I can help you with your next suit and how to up your style game. The Eaton Centre Banana Republic Men's Store has commissioned Elevations to present on Suiting Style Tips for the modern man going into Spring at their Work Your Wardrobe Event on Tuesday, February 25th from 5-7pm.

And now, I'm inviting all of you to come out and maybe learn something about what's in your closet and what SHOULD be in your closet when it comes to your next suit.

In addition, BR is offering a 25% discount when you spend more than $100 at the event. This INCLUDES their MONOGRAM suiting collection. For those of you who know BR, you know that Monogram never goes on promotion! This is a great opportunity to get a premium suit at a discount and perfect timing as spring is just around the corner (fingers crossed).

Please bring the attached invite to receive your discount. I hope to see you all there!

Fall 2013 - Elevations is Now Making Toronto Look Better One Company at a Time

Hello Fashion Fans,

It was a great summer and a busy summer, luckily the weather gods have seen to it that the summer temperatures continue into the fall. No complaints here!

Elevations has been busy, but before we got down to business, we partied it up a bit at Revive Magazine's 5th Anniversary Party! The Elevations Team and I had a blast! Here are a few pics.

Aight, aight, enough name-dropping! Time to get to work!

The following week, Elevations was invited to make our first corporate presentation to the General Electric Women's Network. It was a lot of work to put the event together, but the Elevations Team put on a exceptional show, while still sharing some great style knowledge and fashion tips with our audience. Banana Republic in Square One closed their doors for this event, so that the Women's Network could have exclusive access to the store with great discounts! The event was a great success, so now's the time to start harassing your social committees at work to get Elevations to put on an exclusive style and shopping event for you and your company!
