Many of the shows today are held in the more intimate studio space, including Sarah Stevenson, Golnaz Ashtinai/Caitlin Power as well as Krane. I like the Studio this season. It’s light, bright and gives spectators/audience members a closer look at the pieces. Sarah Stevenson: A very spring-like installation based on right in one’s own backyard, […]
While many designers were calling for the tropics, the vibe that came from LABEL’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection was closer to home, with more of a North American coastal or lake/cottage-like feel than the tropics. The looks are mostly short (almost too short on models – is LABEL technically a petite label?) shorts, dresses and skirts, […]
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. Called “Sunest […]
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. In fact, there were some looks with large feather headdresses, something that could easily have been taken the […]
I am in love with Arthur Mendoça’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection. His return-to-runway collection, which consisted of a variety of different pieces including flowy dresses in all lengths and styles, was, according various media including Global News, influenced by Cleopatra. While I didn’t see it (either from a textbook or film perspective), there was definitely something […]
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 […]
Collections presented at the studio are usually a hit or miss. The more intimate space gives the audience a closer look at the pieces, but at the same time, the lack of tiered seating made it difficult for anyone not in the front row or in an aisle seat to see the looks properly – […]
Unlike many other shows at LG Fashion Week this season, Lundström Collection isn’t as much about being “on trend” than sticking with the classics. With a collection full of greys, blacks, winter whites and purples, it appeals to both younger and more mature demographics, focusing more on luncheons, teas and galas (as well as the office) […]
Project Runway Canada alumnus, Brandon Dwyer’s line, BASCH is a mix of both soft beauty and the hard, sexy woman. With short little black dresses, along with tiered and flowing dresses (that look more spring/summer than fall), there seems to be something for almost everyone. The looks seemed to be inspired by both the party […]
Shows today include Sid Neigum, Basch by Brandon, RUDSAK and the much-anticipated VAWK. This will be the first time that Sunny Fong’s line shows on-site. VAWK has previously held their shows in other locations. As usual, pictures will come as the day progresses.
