Thanks for @bradwheelerglobe.bsky.social for all the fashionable tidbits in Kevan Staples's obit--from an Alina Gildiner line about his penchant for Muglerian shoulder pads to a David Livingstone line about his pant cuffs....

It made me miss the great Globe fashion coverage I grew up with--it made me miss dear David Livingstone--it made me miss the afternoon I spent with Kevan and his wonderful wife Marilyn, who was herself a fabulous fashion designer...
I remember we three chatting about clothes at their house --as we talked, Kevin and Marilyn would dash upstairs and bring down garments that held meaning to them--a Montana leather, a Matsuda jacket that Carole Pope wore in the Sexual Outlaw video--
More topics we talked about: Blitz, the label that Marilyn sold in Toronto at Zig Zag in Yorkville--Sandy Stagg, doyenne of vintage in Toronto and London and General Idea's glamour girl--RIP Kevin and Rough Trade--RIP to a particular Toronto that I loved--
