1) We put Toronto hairstylist JANET

JACKSON to work on the set of our cover

shoot (“First Place” page 94) in Little

Jamaica, on Eglinton Avenue West, not far

from where she grew up. “Ironically, I first

knew I wanted to be a hairstylist while working

on Eglinton Avenue,” she says. “It was at

Amorphous Hair Salon that I developed a

love and passion for the trade and became

obsessed with the artistry.”

2) Consider this our formal apology to new

creative director extraordinaire ANNIE

HORTH if we distracted her on-set. Crowned

stylist of the year at the 2016 Canadian Arts

& Fashion Awards, Horth has worked with

celebs like superstar Céline Dion, so we had

questions, naturally. What is the Montrealer’s

wardrobe staple? “Blazers are a year-round

favourite piece of mine—they look chic paired

with anything,” she says. “My go-to tip:

If you love it, buy it.”

3) When in France, one must partake in a

super-casual hangout in Versailles. Editor-in-

chief VANESSA CRAFT, publisher SOPHIE

BANFORD and ELLE Québec editor-in-chief

JOANIE PIETRACUPA stopped to enjoy the

sights of the National Equestrian Academy

at the Palace’s stables. The group attended

the ELLE International Conference, where

they got to talk magazines, eat croissants

and plan world domination.

4) Montreal writer CAITLIN STALL-

PAQUET is in it to win it, and she doesn’t care

who knows. “Would a man feel bad about his

competitiveness?” she asks. “Being ladylike

is so ‘2000 and late,’ and if someone makes

you feel bad about it, they’re probably

jealous.” For her story on when competition

works in a relationship and when it doesn’t,

head to page 86.

5) Edmonton native MEGHAN

COLLISON took a break from the runways

to go retro in our ’70s shoot, “Goodbye Girl”

(page 110). And the model had no problem

channelling the decade’s vibes on-set. “There

are so many ’70s things I love,” she says.

“Definitely the music. I also love the makeup

of the era. The blue eyeshadow and heavy

mascara were everything!”
