Fashion Monday with JJ Lee

It's been crazy. A new menswear column for The Georgia Straight , a feature documentary on CBC Radio One's Ideas on the suit called, "The Measure of a Man," and a feature article on Modernize Tailors and what you need to know about ordering a made-to-measure suit in The Vancouver Sun , has caused a flood of email to Vancouver By Design and Modernize Tailors with serious sartorial questions. This Monday, VBD will present an advice segment On The Coast. I'm sure there are other important design stories to cover but if so, send me a press release! So, look for it, sartorial advice on Monday's Vancouver By Design.

In today's Georgia Straight (Thursday, February 8) you'll find my second menswear column . The topic: how to fire up the old blue suit with a few sartorial touches just in time for Valentine's Day . It's all about dressing up and dressing down for romance and a certain je ne sais quoi . My first one came out very quietly on December 28. It was hooked to New Year's Eve and out of date but check it out here and save it for next year.
