Fashion Week kicked off with MIZ (see post for more details on this collection), followed by Chloe comme Parris’s collection that was inspired by the 1990s (really, is it retro already?). With an abundance of dark colours and teen angst on the models’ faces, these pieces would not be out of place in the wardrobe […]
For the first time in a few seasons, Holt Renfrew did not kick off Fashion Week, perhaps because people prefer to see upcoming pieces rather than what is currently available in the store. Instead, the opening show as MIZ by Izzy Camilleri. Known for a line of clothes aiming at people in wheelchairs (IZ) and […]
Joe Fresh has done it for many seasons and Express closed out the week this time, but is there a place for brands like that at Fashion Week? To some, having mass markets show at Fashion Week defeats the purpose – it isn’t really “fashion,” while to others would say both lines are “accessible” by […]
Pre-fashion week wrapped up Thursday after a whirlwind of shows on the same day, requiring a lot of back and forth between the Burroughes Building (The Collections) and Andrew Richard Designs (The shOws) or logistic scheduling for those who wanted to cover both. The Collections, which presented its inaugural season, featured designers that usually show […]
Presented as an installation on Saturday, this debut collection by former J.Crew designer, Marissa Webb, is definitely influenced by her experience with the company. Artsy, yet preppy (but not really “bohreppy” (Boho Prep)), the spring/summer 2013 looks include brightly coloured pieces, basic blacks and whites (including a white fit and flare dress that could be […]
Coach’s Classics line, long available online at at many other locations across North America (including Toronto’s Yorkdale store) finally made its way to the Bloor and Avenue Road location. There was a “preview” for the line a couple of weeks ago when author and TV host/judge, Gail Simmons was in town, promoting her new book, […]
I decided to post my week’s worth of Fashion Week outfits in one post rather than separate “Outfit of the Day” articles that everyone else seemed to be doing. As usual, there was a lot of emphasis on wearing Canadian brands, so every day, I tried to incorporate at least ONE Canadian designer or brand […]
Day Five, the final day of Toronto Fashion Week was a good one with shows from the likes of Arthur Mendonça (some petite friendly pieces, with the right alterations), Joeffer Caoc and Travis Taddeo. Petites in attendance on the finale of the Fall/Winter 2012-2013 shows include: Anna Janelle Helen and Callie Harmonie Veronica and Natalie […]
It was another busy day at Toronto Fashion Week, featuring shows from Triarchy Brand (denim) and of course, the ever-popular Pink Tartan and the gorgeous, bird-influenced David Dixon (more on that over at DelectablyChic! soon) and many petites were at the tents for the shows, including: Sally Erica Katherine Ashley Emily Just one more day […]
Day Three was yet another busy day at Toronto Fashion Week with several highly anticipated shows including VAWK (which featured “regular women” models for the VAWKKIN line) and ever-popular and affordable, Joe Fresh. For me, it was also a matter of running back up to Yorkville to pop into the Coach boutique for a book […]
