Six Degrees of Tyler Brûlé
In Sunday’s New York Times Fashion Mag, Brûlé gets all up in the teased hair and shoulder pads of the modern newscaster. Fashion travesties all of them, he cries from the pages of that glossy redesign! Brûlé gets all sorts of deep in his wishlist of an article about what the people delivering the news oughta be getting delivered to their closets. To wit: “For two-way satellite interviews from economic summits in Latin America, there’d be an extra budget for Dolce & Gabbana dresses.” Now that’s a prescription for newscaster credibility. Clocking in at number 3 on Brûlé’s list of best-dressed newscasters is ‘Wendy Mesley (CBC): The best big-network anchor in North America.’ Nice of you Tyler, but we must express our sadness at your passing over of the other CBC anchor with the piercing blue eyes, Alison Smith.
To continue with the peripheral Brûlénews, Toronto is also featured as the travel destination of choice in this month’s Wallpaper (shoutout to reader Steve for the tip!) They do up a pretty decent list ot TO hotspots, though if we were a tourist in a strange land, we probably wouldn’t want to spend precious hours checking e at the Croissant Tree, as per their suggestion.
