Yes, back again with my wrap of World MasterCard Fashion Week. And due to a crazy schedule, I did not attend many shows this season either (or, at least, not as many as I could have). Yays: Star Wars: Loved the R2D2 shoes on display. The Force is definitely with us. Press and Buyers’ […]
I’m actually not sure if I can really post one this season, since I only went to six shows over a period of three days (this is what happens when there are too many events on your plate. Ahhh… the life of a lifestyle blogger). However, I do this every season, so I’ll try my […]
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 […]
Here we are again at the end of World MasterCard Fashion Week and our seasonal likes, dislikes and well, “needs improvements.” YAYS: Rachel Sin: Not only does she return to the tents this season, but she also presented both her current and upcoming collection. I really like how she divided it into two mini-sessions (#rswork […]
If you’re looking for some comfortable, loose-fitting dresses with a bit of a twist, then Brit Wacher is your gal. Her Spring/Summer pieces, consisting of dresses and separates (including short tops) in unique, asymmetrical shapes – long on one side and shorter on the other as well as broader shoulders. They also look extremely comfortable, […]
I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about Malorie Urbanovitch’s upcoming collection as the first few pieces were presented – they were fairly dark in colour, ranging mostly navies and burnt oranges. It screamed fall/winter. Not to mention, many were knits, albeit lightweight. However, as the show progressed, the looks became more and more […]
The theme for Rachel Sin’s show is “The Urban Jetsetter” and unlike other presentations, two seasons were shown at once. Typically during Fashion Week, pieces seen on the runway are for the upcoming season. Instead, the designer is showing both items currently available as well as next season! The fall pieces, presented first under the […]
The press release may note that the upcoming season’s looks for Narces is inspired by the Victorian age and birdcages, but that’s not all it is. In fact, without the media alert, the birdcage look would not even have crossed my mind! Instead, I was thinking the ballerina – at least for the shorter pieces. […]
…and also wins this year’s Mercedes-Benz Startup (MBStartup)! Sid first showed his entire Spring/Summer 2015 collection, which according to the press release is “based on packaging design. It’s about transforming two dimensional to three dimensional; achieved through laser cutting and mathematical pattern design” followed by a condensed version at the MBStartup presentation along with five […]
