A few years ago a TV crew came to my house to document the Great Closet Cleanout: 18 bags of clothing that I removed from my sphere of being and donated to charity. With it came a personal organizer to help me piece what remained of my collection back together. When it came time to organize my lingerie, she saw me putting my Pérèles and McCartneys back in with my socks and looked aghast.
“Never put your lingerie in with the riff-raff!” she cried. “Those are your power pieces, the base of your entire wardrobe. They deserve their own drawer so they can speak to you each morning.” It was among the best fashion advice I’ve ever received, and I now start each day in clear conversation with what makes me feel good.
This edition we’ve taken a page from that book to curate a Lust List of things we love, and that make us feel loved—Simone Pérèle included. We kick off Canada’s 150th with a homegrown success story and escape the final dreary days of winter with a look at the latest spring/summer collections, not to mention, a visit to the sun-soaked Greek Isles. Enjoy! —Kelsey Klassen
