Now that official Toronto Fashion Week has wrapped, it’s yet again, time to summarize what was good, what was so-so and what was well, not-so-good. This season, I am calling it A.I.N.I (Amazing, Interesting and Needs Improvement). As with last season, I loved the space. Having tents in the core of the city, close to […]
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 […]
Arthur Mendonça’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection is one of the few that I’m absolutely in love with. From the salmon coloured, dolman sleeved dress to a long sleeved, turquoise gown with a centre slit, slim leather pants and shiny, patterned pieces, there’s something about the collection that is sophisticated, elegant and lady-like. While there are some […]
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 […]
Mercedes-Benz Start-Up finalist, Triarchy Brand showed their first collection at the Studio. This BC-based denim line opened the show with three models, two guys and a girl putting on a jeans from a pile of denim at the back of the runway – a little confusing at first. This was followed by the rest of […]
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 […]
Day two was an exciting day, featuring collections from the artistic Adrian Wu to last season’s Mercedes-Benz StartUp winner, Martin Lim and the very ready-to-wear and petite friendly Matis by Lucian Matis (more on this collection later this week/early next week). Many of the shows had gorgeous pieces (though I know some so-called “fashion bloggers” […]
Martin Lim, a designing duo consisting of Danielle Martin and Pao Lim was the winner of the Mercedes-Benz Startup project presented their first full collection at Toronto Fashion Week. Though this was a fall collection, there were many elements that screamed out warmer weather. Lavender was one of the key colours, as was magenta and […]
Adrian Wu’s collection was called “The Hierarchy of Need.” Inspired by the movie V for Vendetta, all of the models who walked the runway wore Anonymous masks while wearing statue-like dresses with polka dots. There were some pieces that were at least a little bit wearable, including some maxi dresses. The set, which had […]
