THE SPLENDOUR OF FALL

There’s much to look forward to this season, and if it’s on NKPR’s president and founder Natasha Koifman’s radar, it should be on yours too. Here’s what we’re looking forward to this autumn.

As the amber hues of fall paint Toronto’s sky line, the city resonates with whispers of change. For me, the season represents a time of sharing, special occasions spent with friends and family, perhaps a great meal or gathering in a cozy home. In this issue, I’m sharing some ideas for just such an occasion — a new fall fashion collection, an innovative beauty concept, upcoming launches of preconstruction residences and a personal favourite restaurant in the city . After all, autumn isn’t merely a shift in the breeze — it’s an entire mood, encapsulating the ways we choose to spend time together.
