Charlotte Day Wilson is a Name You Should Already Know

Chances are you already know Charlotte Day Wilson’s name, but even if you don’t, you’ll likely recognize her face. For the past couple of months, her photo has been plastered on bus stops, streetcars and billboards across the city as a part of Roots 2018 Sweatstyle campaign. Oh, and if you’ve listened to any Canadian Spotify or Apple Music playlists over the few years, you’ll recognize her truly singular voice, too.

With musical roots ranging from R&B to folk to jazz, Wilson’s soulful sound attracted the attention of ears around the world with the 2016 release of her debut EP CDW. Her breakout single, “Work,” became a somewhat anthem of the women’s march movement, and brought her home the 2017 Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video. (She’s used her prize money to create the Work Film Grant, a one-time $10,000 grant that will be awarded to a female or gender non-binary Canadian director. We told you she was cool.) Her second project, Stone Woman, is a six-track EP which she self-released in February, chronicles the collapse of a relationship, as Wilson enters a chapter defined by clarity, vulnerability and strength. We’re looking forward to whatever she brings her voice to next.

With every move she makes, Wilson is continuously labelled “the next big thing out of Toronto.” And so, it only feels fitting that she’d participate in a Canadian apparel campaign that previously saw Daniel Caesar and Jessie Reyes as its stars. Joining her on 2018’s roster of rising musical talent are: 18-year-old German/Canadian artist Megan Bülow, Toronto-based rapper Killy and multi-instrumentalist Langston Francis. With each artist, Roots is celebrating individuality. “In addition to their incredible musical talent,” said Mangala D’Sa, Roots Vice President, Marketing, “each of our 2018 artists has a unique fashion sense that is an expression of who they are.”

Watch Charlotte Day Wilson talk about how Canadian cities influence her art, music with a message and the role of fashion the video below:

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
