urbanebloc aims to be your muse – fashion, culture, and urban life are gathered into a unique collective of imagery and words.

here and there.

Gloria Chik

I just like pretty things. I’m the girl that writes up a storm, has a big camera, loves graphic design, has started acquiring magazines left and right, and I live in the city. I’m the b-schooler, the girl that lives in the burbs but frequents the un-burbs, and you’ll look and wonder how I got this tall.

I shop, I watch, I play with visuals. I shop vintage, and I pay no heed to brands. If it looks good, fits better, and makes you smile – wear it.

Wondering where you’ve seen me? Likely perusing through Queen West, Kensington, your local Starbucks, writing for ION MAGAZINE and dose.ca, and I’m all over your fashion scene.

urbanebloc is life.

Gem

Adores the luxury beauties and the day-to-day-finds. She has an abundance of magazines and go-to guides for fashion. She’s schooled in fashion and loves the business of.

We’re fun together!

Josette Blackwood

My name is Josette.
I’m one of those women-
trying to be every woman
I rock denim jeans, long frocks, dope tees, and lip gloss
I love Ghostface and long walks on the beach (I stole that but it’s true).
I was recently dubbed a fashion authority by FASHION Magazine when I was chosen as one of 20 finalists for their 2008 Blogger Search but lost by thismuch (that damn 44 %!).
I obsess over the fly, the hot and the maybe not — I’ll try to bring all of that to you.

Karizza Sanchez

I like the extreme, the edgy and sometimes the pretty, and not to mention, Avant-garde things and anything New York City. (Oops! Didn’t mean to rhyme)

I’m an 18-year-old currently studying journalism, and hopefully fashion arts soon enough.
I’m a city girl so catch me anywhere with tall buildings and bright lights!

Daniel Pilaprat

At the moment, there are three things that I really enjoy. I love motorcycles so I own four (well, I share them with my brother and sister) and they’re my main mode of transportation. I love fashion so I’ve modeled for various designers, posed for various magazines and (most importantly) started writing for urbanebloc. Lastly, I love music so I go out to as many DJ sets and concerts as I can. I want to be involved in the things that I love so I’m trying to experience them as much as I can before I have to grow up, get a “real” job and become your everyday working man (sigh).

Wayne

Wayne is as elusive as a rare pair of Bapes. Occasional sightings suggest that he lurks in the dark shadows of Holt Renfrew’s menswear section trying on rare pieces he can never afford.

He should stop buying. Buyer.

This is our pow-wow for fashion. Go ahead, read on.
