After being absent for a couple of seasons, Sunny Fong made a return to World MasterCard Fashion Week Tuesday evening with not just one collection, but also a small capsule collection in collaboration with Subway. Yes, sandwich-inspired dresses, including two pieces that looked like lettuce. While that was mostly wearable art, his main collection was […]
Sid Neigum, who won the 2014-2015 Mercedes-Benz Start Up competition last season, presented his collection Monday evening, the first night of World MasterCard Fashion Week. The models walked down the runway to a string quartet, wearing pieces which were a combination of very wearable pieces to ones which were a bit more artistic. The palate […]
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. […]
Toronto’s Fashion Month, which started last week with the launch of Moose&Beaver, continued this week with the shOws, featuring Canadian designers who show out of the country. This two day event, which is one of my favourites, featured not the usual four, but five shows, including Tanya Taylor, Jean-Pierre Braganza and this time, Comrags as […]
Earlier this week, DelectablyChic! marked five years online. Well, it isn’t exactly five years as we published under another name – Prospere Magazine – between January 2008 and September 2010. The purpose when we launched was to have an online publication (marketed at that time as a “blogzine”) for smart, sophisticated women – a site […]
The first all plus-size line to show on the runway at World MasterCard Fashion Week was Allistyle, who presented the Spring/Summer 2013 collection on October 26. While this was definitely a very innovative move and major change at any Fashion Week, sadly, the collection was rather plain and something that anyone specialty sized (whether plus […]
Another season has wrapped up for Fashion Week in Toronto, which means it’s time for our A.I.N.I. list of things that were great, not-so-great and downright awful. Let’s just say that this season, it was much more difficult to find things to criticize, as I (and I’m sure most regular attendees) was happy to see […]
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 […]
