So the collection only featured two gold pieces, but Rachel Sin’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection once again features simple, yet elegant classics. With basic black, grey and white shades as well as yellow, orange and coral, the collection is perfect for many occasions, including date night, brunch with “the girls” and even the office (provided that […]
Here we are again at the end of World MasterCard Fashion Week and our seasonal likes, dislikes and well, “needs improvements.” YAYS: Rachel Sin: Not only does she return to the tents this season, but she also presented both her current and upcoming collection. I really like how she divided it into two mini-sessions (#rswork […]
The theme for Rachel Sin’s show is “The Urban Jetsetter” and unlike other presentations, two seasons were shown at once.

The fall pieces, presented first under the […]

Even the up-and-coming lines that make it to FAT or Toronto Fashion Week are already at least somewhat known, especially to those […]

A bit of Canada love here some of my latest purchases come from Canadian brands. The first two are dresses that I got from Homegrown Boutique, a store in Toronto’s Yorkville shopping district that features items from Canadian designers. The first was actually purchased back in the fall when I attended Homegrown Boutique’s Spring/Summer 2012 […]
It may only be late October, but the fashion industry is already thinking spring. Now that Fashion Week is over, many designers are offering clients the chance to try on pieces they recently showed on the runway or at an installation.
