About FIM

I’m Johanne Durocher, the creator of Fashion in Motion: a magazine-style blog about all things fashion and lifestyle.

With Fashion in Motion, I foster a dynamic conversation where the fashion industry and its supporting members (bloggers, readers, consumers, thinkers) share ideas and weigh in on trends, how-to pull off a look, and what’s happening in the hood.

Johanne at Swarovski preview springMy passion for fashion extends to a greater appreciation for art and design, and this is my space to share my excitement with my talented contributors and spunky readers.

Some trends we love right now:

  • Vintage – it’s well-made, has spirit, and is eco-friendly
  • Leather pants
  • Chunky jewelry
  • Pastels
  • Pleated trousers

By day I am an associate producer at the CBC. I have been featured in print publications including Hello! Magazine, the Globe and Mail, Boomer Magazine, The Star, and various digital media. You’ll read more of my work at my guest columns for design blog White Cabana and food and cheese blog Cheese and Toast.

Fashion in Motion is based in Toronto, Canada.

      Thank you! I’m loving yours! I’m fascinated by what you do and your blog posts are great. Who doesn’t think that Ansel Adams is a genius? :)

    I just came across Fashion in Motion and absolutely love the images, tone, and overall style. And coming from another English Lit junky whose kinda more obsessed with fashion and writing, I’m loving what you do.

    Hey I still read your blog from time to time, it’s really fun!I never would’ve found it if you didnt do that entry about the Carrie necklace (and I’m loving my necklace by the way. I cant wait for the 2nd movie! And did you hear about the book coming out called “The Carrie Diaries”?)

    • February 17, 2010 3:25 pm

      Hi Anna,
      Thanks so much for your comment! I’m loving my Carrie necklace too- did you see the preview for the second SATC movie? Looks fun!

      I heard about the Carrie Diaries.. not sure if it’s worth the read. I should probably pick it up (and call it ‘research’).. haha.

      J :)

      P.S. I love your profile pic on your blog- that puppy is adorable!

  12. February 19, 2010 11:40 am

    Yea, the preview for the second movie looks so much different from the first one!! I’m hoping the Carrie Diaries isn’t too “teen-ish” … I say definately pick it up for research, then report back! haha :)
    The puppy is Spuds, he turns 6 on March 1st- maybe I’ll blog about his birthday!

    I love the new header. Great new look for the blog!

      Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback!

      I love it, too. We’re rolling out more changes over the next few weeks. The new concept is designed by a good friend of mine (Stephen Tasker) who also happens to be a graphic designer genius.. http://stephentasker.com/

    Hi-great site-but please, put me out of my misery-WHERE can I get your eyeglasses???????

    • January 26, 2011 12:46 pm

      Boy oh boy, do I have a story for you! :)))

      Thank you for complimenting my eyeglasses, I love them so much (!) and I recently had a very bad accident with them- I broke them! I wrote about it all here, this is the post:

      A New Era

      I won’t spoil the ending for you in case you’ll read this ;).

      In the meantime, I can tell you that the glasses are by l.a. Eyeworks and the frames are called Cornu. They’ve long been discontinued but you can still find similar frames online (you’ll learn more about this when you read my post). My post was also featured on l.a. Eyeworks’ blog, http://www.laeyeworks-wideworld.com/.

      Looking forward to hearing from you after you’ve read all of these eyewear adventures!! :)
