The latest fashion fate of Wood is the Hanky Panky-labeled Katrina, derived from the Canadian style in honor of Wood’s close friend Katrina Castellan. This collection pays tribute to the famed Canadian tuxedo and celebrates Wood’s Canadian friend. Another partnership for the launch.

The Instagram post shows Wood extolling the “Canadian Tuxedo” status for the style of the new line, paying tribute to the old concept of Canadian fashion of denim-on-denim. The collection is in honor of her friend @_katrinacastellan; however, Wood did not elaborate on other reasons for naming this collection in honor of her friend.
The post read simply, “The Katrina💙 an homage to the Canadian Tuxedo & of course our Canadian bestie @_katrinacastellan 💙 Lexi Wood @hankypanky collection.” The blue heart emojis could therefore be a subliminal reference to the blue flowing through the Canadian Flag and the denim-infused narrative running through the collection.
Immediately, the announcement hit the followers hard as one user questioned Wood’s personal associations rather than focusing on the fashion itself: “What were you thinking going out with such a tool like Jesse?” diverting attention from the collection onto Wood’s personal life choices. It was very much in contrast to the public celebration of the post.
Another user commented staying with the program: “Looks good good luck Lexi 🔥🔥,” being very basic in support of the collection with no mention of personal matters.
Known for her collaborations and strong presence in the fashion circle, Wood is still building alongside her brand partnerships with style. The Canadian tuxedo is a style statement and cultural reference point with a lot of meaning for Wood due to her Canadian connection via Castellan.
When put together, the collection and thematic choices are deeply thoughtful approaches to fashion, very much mixing the personal with the preppy. While some of the comments drifted into quite personal waters, an acknowledgment was made of Wood’s steady growth as a partner in fashion and an influencer.
Paving the road for more fashion partnerships, Wood shows she can take something very personal and turn it into wearable art for design lovers and for those who love to get good stories behind landmark design.
