Famed and Edgy British Design Alexander McQueen Commits Suicide

JUZD Bamboo — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 15:00:00 +0000

As New York Fashion Week kicks off with fall and winter designs, the fashion industry was shocked to learn that designer Alexander (née Lee) McQueen was found to have committed suicide yesterday. The 40 year old designer was said to have hanged himself after a slew of anguished online remarks regarding his mother's death last week. McQueen is credited with reviving the once dying British fashion industry with his edgy and ingenious designs. The revered designer will be sorely missed by admirers of his boldness and by the fashion industry, family, and friends.

The JUZD team would like to offer their condolences to those affected by the death of Alexander McQueen. We too are shocked to have lost such a talented designer.

Product Model Jonathan Steen Takes on the Big Screen in Zombie Flick

JUZD Bamboo — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:00:00 +0000

Looks like Veronika London isn't our only movie star on the rise - product model Jonathan Steen has been in Guelph working on a zombie endeavor that is set to premier this coming April in Toronto. Produced by Color Red Productions, the zombie film Dead Genesis sets itself in a future where many cities and states have been abandoned and left to die off. However, several self-sufficient hunting groups have been established to take on the threat in a war aptly referred to as the "War on Dead." Jillian Hurst, a former news writer and amateur documentarian, has set out to make a pro-war propaganda film to support the "W.O.D." She joins up with a pack of renegade hunters known infamously to North America as "the deadheads," which includes Steen's role as Felix. The moral dynamics and hardships of fighting in a war against the undead are told from several different perspectives.

ManCrunch.com Refused Airtime During Superbowl Commercial Breaks

JUZD Bamboo — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:00:00 +0000

The JUZD team is taking the day to give you the scoop on another one of our product models, Jonathan Steen. While Veronika seems to be hitting the big screen with her movies, Jonathan's latest commercial has been getting loads of interest from television networks. Why? Because the advertisement is featuring a dating service - for gay men.

The Toronto based company, ManCrunch.com, has been trying to buy airtime for its advertisment during the Superbowl, but it has been told that it's not appropriate. In the letter of rejection that CBS wrote, it states "At CBS, our standards and practices process continues to adhere to a process that ensures all ads — on all sides of an issue — are appropriate for air. We will continue to consider responsibly produced ads from all groups for the few remaining spots in Super Bowl XLIV.”

Excuse me? Has CBS not been paying attention to choose what it will air this year? Aside from the usual large breasts dangling out of skimpy bathing suits, flashy dancers, and men and women making more than just goo-goo eyes at one another, CBS has also chosen to air a commercial far more controversial: college football player Tim Tebow's stance against abortion. While the argument about being pro-life or not is still up in the air for debate among many, you'd think that we have moved beyond the issue of man and man together. After all, the US is finally going forward and acknowledging (okay, some states) same-sex marriage. That's a far bolder step already taken in accepting differences; let alone the many celebrity couples that are in the media.

We are not going to declare CBS to be anti-gay, because that would be a step too far. But we are going to say this: there is a certain irony in not airing a commercial that promotes a gay dating service and in having millions of viewers watching dozens of men in spandex collide into one another. If you are willing to air an advertisement on a topic that is far more sensitive than homosexuality, there lies no sense in rejecting a humorous advertisement.

Watch the ManCrunch.com advertisement below and tell us if it really that much of a big deal not to air.

Product Model London adds the sexual element to the film’s chemistry in Black Eve

JUZD Bamboo — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 15:00:00 +0000

Our dear product model Veronika London has recently started working on a new horror flick brought to you by Fusion Films Entertainment called "Black Eve." The movie centers around a woman with psychic abilities, who retraces the last steps of her fellow guests at a Halloween party, in a closed down department store, who all turn up dead by morning. London, being named the "Megan Fox of Hollywood North" which simply means "complete sex appeal", has been cast to play the sexy pregnant nun which will leave us drooling during some hot scenes. The film is being directed by horror guru Ryan Andrews (Behind Closed Doors), and also stars Neil Green (Slightly Used) and Canadian hip hop sensation Peter Jackson (Indian Girl) to name a few. The film is set to release later this year.

For now you can check out London in our Fall-Winter 2009/2010 line.

Eco-Friendly Feature: Aime

JUZD Bamboo — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 03:05:00 +0000

When Monica Mei graduated in 2007 from Ryerson University, she won the coveted Standard Broadcasting Corporation's $25 000 Business Plan Competition to start her own designer label. As an extension of her personality, she coined the name Aime as a means of conveying her philosophy of "Love Yourself. Love Others. Love Luxury."

With pieces that are versatile, comfortable, and stylish, one cannot help but wonder from where Monica draws her inspiration. To fulfill the needs and wants of the modern woman, Monica draws upon nature and her travels. Having traveled plenty in her youth with her parents, Monica continues to see more of the world. In what she calls her "digital detox," the inspiration for the Spring/Summer 2010 line was found in the dolce vita lifestyle of the west Mediterranean where laughter and yachts lined the coastline.

Wanting to do her part to promote a more sustainable environment, Monica strives to use all-natural or more sustainable fabrics, such as Tencel, silk, bamboo, organic-cotton, and mother-of-pearl. In addition, production is overseen by the young designer herself as the line is produced Canada.

In addition to a welcomed presence at this past LG Fashion Week, Aime has received acclaim from many notable media outlets, including Fashion Television, FLARE, Slice.ca, and National Post.

Aime can be found in retailers across Canada and the US:

New York City – Martier
