I’ve been covering the annual White Cashmere in support for breast cancer awareness since 2012 or so. This year was no exception. Hosted by Beverly Thomson and held on September 29 at the beautiful, historic Carlu on Yonge and College, the 2015 theme was centred around bridal gowns, with many of the country’s top wedding […]
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 […]
Day Four: Starting the day off was Matthew Gallagher, who makes his David Pecaut Square debut with a collection that was, like Pink Tartan, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock (see write-up here). This was followed by the avant-garde UNTTLD, whose signature all-black styles once again ruled the runway. Many of the looks translate well in the […]
Watch this space as well as our social media (especially Twitter and Instagram) for our latest Fashion Week updates from David Pecaut Square. Designers this season include old favourites such as Pink Tartan, Joe Fresh and Lucian Matis as well as some returnees, including David Dixon and Laura Siegel. VAWK is also back for Fall/Winter […]
The Design Exchange has reinvented its annual fundraiser from the traditional DX Black and White Gala to the brand new DX Intersection. The new name reflects the way the event mixes up different crowds, disciplines and cultures in a celebration of Canada’s top designers, artists, architects, IT specialists, directors and dynamos. One minute you are […]
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 […]
Unlike the regular line (and especially the 2012 collections), BCBG’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection was not exactly Herve Leger Redux (seems to be a “thing” for Max Azria these days – this season, BCBG boutiques are filled with bodycon/bandage dresses that look like they were reworked from previous Herve Leger collections). The collection is filled with […]
Yesterday, US-based designer Jason Wu announced a more affordable line, Miss Wu, which will exclusively be available at Nordstrom stores and online (great news for international fans!). This line, according to WWD, will feature both ready-to-wear pieces, with accessories being added at a later date. Source: wwd.com via WWD on Pinterest A look from […]
VAWK showed both the regular line using mostly “standard size” models (a couple looked a bit bigger than what’s “typical) as well as the debut of VAWKKIN, a “regular” collection that is more for the everyday woman featuring “real woman” models (i.e. non-professional) of different shapes and sizes, include (you may remember my rant about […]
Project Runway Canada winner Sunny Fong is known for using a wider range of sizes for his line, VAWK, but once again, he is ignoring the shorter woman in his casting call for his upcoming Toronto Fashion Week show. While the call does allow for non-runway height women (5’6″ and above, without heels), I cannot […]
