You've Been Coveteur'd: Holt Renfrew

Fall 2011 Holt Renfrew Designer Footwear Lookbook. Toronto

Last night, The Coveteur team unveiled their latest collaboration – a marriage of fashion that is rooted in our hometown of Toronto. When we first launched the site, we called upon John Gerhardt, the Creative Director of Canadian fashion emporium Holt Renfrew. He immediately agreed to let us shoot his home – digging through his closet and home furnishings (and since then, he’s been included in a little group we like to call “The Original Six”). Together with Barbara Atkin, the two of them are the driving forces behind the retail aspect of Canadian fashion. In fact, Erin got her start by working for the company, and eventually ended up selling her namesake clothing line to the Canadian stores. Within a few years, our relationship with HR has come full circle – and here’s why. Collectively, we came up with an idea to present our much-loved stylistic talent – from the designers found within their Bloor Street hub to the talent we feature on our site, in a unique way that would span our nation’s outreach. Resulting in a photo exhibit, as well as a window installation at Holts, the photography and styling of The Coveteur has culminated in a two week exhibit of our brand, showing off the closets and goodies of both local and international talent. Our official unveiling last night was an ode to twelve shoe vendors whose products have made us drool with lust, but more importantly, have created a photo gallery for your viewing pleasure. Here’s our union, in visual form. Ladies and gents, may we present you with The Coveteur x Holt Renfrew.

We love the new take on this classic YSL pump. The toecap updates one of our favorite classics. Plus, who doesn’t love a nude shoe?

Season after season, we are die-hard Valentino worshipers This shoe is the perfect autumn take on their classic bootie. The rustic burgundy tone is only complimented by one of our all-time favorite details – STUDS.

These darling ballerinas are so dainty – we wanted to frame them! We really wanted the photograph to echo the shoe and not take away from it. These colors really make these Chloé flats stand out.

Oh Alber. Dreamy dreamy Alber. If we knew how to skateboard, we’d sail the pavement in some of your luscious kicks.

Shot on Bloor Street, we love playing with the idea of proportions – so this little chair was perfect for this infectious Dior sandal. We are obsessed with the understated sheen.

Shoe, Christian Dior

We had so much fun with this shot, especially since Costume National is back at Holts, and we loved getting down and dirty. These boots are tough and feminine…just like us Coveteurs.

Maybe it’s our Canadian heritage playing a role here, but the inspiration for this Tod’s montage was a chalet in Muskoka in the winter. Dog sledding, cross-country skiing, or northern hiking, we’re already thinking about our “infused” cider après ski.

Tamara Mellon – we idolize you. Jimmy Choo’s shoes are synonymous with the ultimate in luxury and global jaunts – hence why we paired Technicolor bags with the men’s and women’s kicks.

We loved being able to use old typewriters and vintage books to create this 1950’s Fendi librarian scene. We are in lust-heaven. Plus, there’s nothing chicer and more modern than the inner lining of the Peekaboo bag.

These shoes are on a date! The notion of uptown sophistication and subtle glam combine perfectly in Ferragamo’s creations. Can we all go for a lazy stroll in Central Park right about...now?

Shoes, Salvatore Ferragamo

The original shoe god (in our opinion) has the ability to make an outfit immediately chic with a pair of his shoes. Here, these royal blues take the spotlight.

Shoes, Manolo Blahnik

One of the things we love the most about Toronto is the Film Festival. Hopefully this year we will get to check out some killer flicks, and these Dolce&Gabbana kicks would be our perfect date.
