Grab of the week: a pair of jeans that will turn your legs into walking glow sticks
While Toronto’s love for the rave may have subsided when we entered the new millennium, every now and then candy-coloured plastic jewellery, fun fur attire or a pair of Modrobes can be spotted in a crowd (usually on Queen West, the epicenter of rave fashion back in its heyday). Let’s face it: the city’s rave roots are deep and people miss it. Why do you think nu-rave popped off like it did a few years ago?
Thankfully, slogan-emblazoned neon T-shirts and plastic shutter sunglasses a la Kanye West have disappeared (for the most part). But whenever this city’s regard for rave-related fashion goes out, it is sure to come right back in again. This week, Hudson Jeans is invading Toronto with its latest style: the Lou Lou. This colourful slim fit comes complete with two vertical phosphorescent stripes – literally turning your legs into walking glow sticks.
Here’s to the return of happy hardcore!
Lou Lou in “The Manson” by Hudson Jeans. $265, available at Holt Renfrew.
