It’s going to be a busy week for DelectablyChic! World MasterCard Fashion Week starts tonight and we will be covering many of the shows, including Sid Neigum’s Mercedes-Benz Start Up presentation this evening. Other shows we will be attending include VAWK (who has been absent for the past couple of seasons) and Lole on Thursday. […]
I’m so glad the internet exists. That way, I can watch fashion shows from other cities without having the need to travel! Once again, DelectablyChic! will be writing about select shows presenting at New York Fashion Week, including BCBG MaxAzria, Rebecca Minkoff and more. Look for posts coming by the day after each show. Most […]
Yesterday, it was announced that UNIQLO, a Japanese fast fashion chain, will open its first Toronto stores in 2016. One location will be at the Eaton Centre, located on the Dundas side (i.e. opposite end to H&M), while the other will be part of Yorkdale Shopping Centre’s new wing. Many fashionistas I know are extremely […]
I recently had the opportunity to take a complimentary barre class at the newly opened, spacious barre3 studio on King Street, west of University. Unlike other barre programs across the city, barre3 only has one type of class and follows an approach created by Sadie Lincoln, who started the first studio in 2008 with her […]
If you’re looking for some comfortable, loose-fitting dresses with a bit of a twist, then Brit Wacher is your gal. Her Spring/Summer pieces, consisting of dresses and separates (including short tops) in unique, asymmetrical shapes – long on one side and shorter on the other as well as broader shoulders. They also look extremely comfortable, […]
I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about Malorie Urbanovitch’s upcoming collection as the first few pieces were presented – they were fairly dark in colour, ranging mostly navies and burnt oranges. It screamed fall/winter. Not to mention, many were knits, albeit lightweight. However, as the show progressed, the looks became more and more […]
The theme for Rachel Sin’s show is “The Urban Jetsetter” and unlike other presentations, two seasons were shown at once. Typically during Fashion Week, pieces seen on the runway are for the upcoming season. Instead, the designer is showing both items currently available as well as next season! The fall pieces, presented first under the […]
I recently had the wonderful opportunity to speak with trendy, New York-based designer Nili Lotan. Ms. Lotan’s pieces, often celebrity favourites, target a sophisticated woman who is not only looking for classic, long-lasting style, but also comfort. The current Fall/Winter collection is filled with loose, comfortable pieces that pair well with skinnies or leggings and […]
Spring/Summer 2015 for Hervé Leger seems to mean East Asia and gold sequins, while at the same time, not moving away from the line’s signature bodycon looks. The show started out with a few dresses that had short, but kimono-inspired sleeves which I liked (though it could be a little bit overwhelming on certain sizes), […]
…for the most part, anyway. And perhaps they’ve heard enough complaints from people like yours truly! Traditionally, the “runway collection” presented at New York Fashion Week was very artistic, and definitely not wearable by the vast majority. However, the same can’t be said for the upcoming collection. In fact, I have to admit that I’m […]
