It’s a pretty packed day today, with shows that include Robert Graham, Sid Niegum the ever creative Korhani Home Rug Runway show and of course, Canadian favourites Pink Tartan and Joe Fresh… Robert Graham: This US-based line is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a show in the studio featuring the spring/summer 2012 collection.

For Spring/Summer 2012, Wesley Badanjak’s LOVAS has a more fun, light-weight collection compared to “Sisters” for Fall/Winter 2011. Influenced by his travels in the tropics, the collection was called “Birds of Paradise.” And birds the models were.

Another season of LG Fashion Week has come to an end and we are once again, presenting our readers with our Likes and Dislikes. This was LG Fashion Week’s sophomore season at Heritage Court at Exhibition Place, a location that is quite accessible by public transit. There was also plenty of parking and it was […]
