State of Summer: Week 4
The other Toronto Superfan & Style Editor at GQ; EIC & CD at the brilliant Crosscurrent magazine; and our real mental health partner & friend everyone wishes they had itslemonwater.
Yang-Yi Goh ✌️
The Toronto Star is more than a pair of legs and a smile - writing and journalism is in his blood. His signature style is a combination of principled and textured uws publisher-chic and crisp Americana polish, the Pat Borders aficionado champions a be really good and be really nice ethos.
Yang-Yi Goh, Style Editor at GQ, New York
How are you spending our summer ?
Travelling a little, working a lot, and spending as much time as possible with the people I love.
What will we find you wearing ?
Big shorts. Also little shorts. Sometimes medium shorts, too.
Is there anything that you’re particularly engaged in at the moment ?
Music-wise, I’ve been alternating back and forth between the new The Story So Far record and the “Challengers” soundtrack. I just read the novel ‘Martyr’ by Kaveh Akbar, which I can’t recommend highly enough. And I’ve been rooting for Canada, who will hopefully have won the Copa America by the time this comes out.
What gives you comfort ?
My fiancee Sumer, the sweetest and funniest person on the planet.
Thank You Yang-Yi !

The images and pieces in Crosscurrent are some of the best and revitalize hope. The underlying tone is an abundance of respect and humility - giving space and leaving a sensation of openness and optimistic curiosity.
Crosscurrent is a bi-annual publication and a manual resource for discovery exploring fashion, art, architecture, and ideas.

There was a shift a few years ago where I found myself constantly walking around with a glass of warm water with seeds, pith and a nub of ginger settled at the bottom. This new found focus was more on the inside than out - soft, muted, and gentle vs. concrete, slick, and sarcastic. “itslemonwater” was the foundation and resource for earnest, wholesome, and meaning filled communication and the best online therapist.

How are you spending your summer ?
Outside enjoying the nice weather, eating delicious food, spending time with my friends and moving my body. I'm currently traveling in Spain for the next little bit and hope to be spending some time in NY within the coming weeks.
What will we find you wearing ?
Something red for sure, I feel like in the last couple months it's the only color I'm being drawn to incorporating in my wardrobe, oh and a pair of black flip flops.
Is there anything that you’re particularly engaged in at the moment ?
hmmmm, I'm trying my best to actually disengage ;)
What gives you comfort ?
Routine brings me peace and comfort, also cooking my own meals!!
Thank You Michelle !
