Want Media
At Want, we think it's important to connect with the media. Not only does it give us good exposure, but it's a great way to offer viewers a quick "fashion education" and let them know what's hot in fashion, how to wear it - and, of course, where to buy it.
It's our small way of making the world a more stylish place.

We're one of Jeanne Beker's Top 100 Shops!
Post City Magazine's annual Retail Guide hits stands October 1, 2010, and this year, we are honoured to be on the list! Ms. Jeanne Beker has selected Want as one of her Top 100 Shops, and here's what she had to say:
"We used to go in there when the girls were looking for prom dresses.
It's a great selection of party dresses. When you don't even know what
you want yourself it's a great place to go get ideas because there's
such an eclecticism, [so] much coming at you. So many different looks..."

Want styles on BT
We have also been involved with CityTV's Breakfast Television for years. BT is a weekly morning news and entertainment program with daily events and entertainment gossip. They regularly invite our stylists to do live on-air fashion shows where we show off the season's most fabulous "must-haves" and talk about the latest trends.
We strut the most up-to-date styles in everything from handbags to shoes and denim to dresses. Segments have included "Picking the perfect formal dress," "Taking your outfit from office to evening," and other themes that focus on upping women's fashion quotient in their everyday lives.
We're on "Three Takes"
Want is a proud sponsor of "Three Takes," a hit daytime talk show on the Slice Network that focuses on the latest in beauty, style and fashion. It features three hosts; one's single, one's married, and one is divorced, and they each bring their unique perspectives to dish on everything from relationships to red nail polish. (Take "The View," mix in a little "Desperate Housewives," throw in a pinch of "In Style" magazine, and you've got the idea.)
In addition to providing celebrities and on-air personalities with stylish wardrobes for the past two seasons, Want's team of stylists also contributes to the show with segments where we do mini-fashion shows and talk about the latest and greatest trends and styles in everything from formal wear to denim and accessories. Themes for the segments have included everything from "Dressing your age" to "Dressing down the dress."
