Wow, what a crazy week! While I used to try to post my outfits daily DURING the event, I’ve now saved it for the end. It’s just getting busier and busier for me each season (or maybe I’m just getting older). I did manage to get at least one photo each day, but not everything […]
The post World MasterCard Fashion Week: Some Select Outfits I Wore appeared first on The DelectablyChic! Closet.
I have been covering Fashion Week in Toronto since the Fall 2009 shows and this season was the first time I saw an exclusive wedding collection. Paraezo Couture‘s latest collection, headed by former wedding salon creative director, Bruce Dang, showed a series of gowns with amazing detailing (you have to love the beading, lace, feathering […]
Friday was the final day of the Spring 2013 collections. The day started out with bridal line, Paraezo, whose gowns were paired with some very interesting headpieces. Other designers included Travis Taddeo, who showed his signature S&M-inspired looks (definitely not a look for everyone), UNTTLD (with a collection inspired by haikkus, the audience was welcomed […]
Last season, the west coast based denim brand opened with half-dressed models picking out jeans from a pile. This time, with a collection inspired by “by a night to remember in St. Tropez, the morning after, and the adventures in between,” featured two men, one shirtless, pulling a rope (which would later be a key […]
Four designers presented today, including Rachel Sin, whose familiar, simple-with-a-twist cuts were seen in a variety of different neutrals of pale pinks and tans as well as darker, navy blues. Lace embellishments, which were strong in her fall/winter collection, continue into the spring. Other designers included finalists from the 2012 Mercedes-Benz Start-Up competition, Triarchy Brand […]
For the first time, Lucian Matis showed both his “signature” (Lucian Matis) and “contemporary” (Matis by Lucian Matis) lines at World MasterCard Fashion Week. The past few seasons saw Matis show his couture line outside of “main” Fashion Week. Last season, for example was presented on the first day outside of the main World MasterCard […]
Project Runway Canada alumnus Lucian Matis presented both his couture namesake collection as well as his ready-to-wear pieces Matis by Lucian Matis (more on that later). Other designers today include Whitney Linen (a line of linen apparel with gorgeous pale colours, perfect for warm weather) Mackage and of course, the much-loved Joe Fresh (with the […]
Eight new designers vied for this coveted award which would give them not only an editorial in FASHION magazine, but also to show their Fall/Winter 2013-2014 collections at World MasterCard Fashion Week in March. This year, the eight finalists, who come from across Canada, including Calgary, Prince Edward Island, Montreal and Toronto. Toronto favourite, Caitlin […]
Day 2’s shows included Adrian Wu, who stayed very true to his “aesthetic” of art (more artsy this season so a little bit less weird) and had a live singer who sang music from 1960s films, DeMoyo (who had a lovely, warm weather-friendly collection filled with neutrals and crocheted pieces), Biddell (who had models walking […]
Toronto’s World MasterCard Fashion Week opened last night with its usual Holt Renfrew show. However, rather than featuring Canadian designers’ Spring/Summer 2013 collections who aren’t having their own shows at World MasterCard FashionWeek, the entire show featured pieces by various national and international designers that are available at Holts right now. Kind of strange, in […]
