Last season, for the first time ever, two winners were crowned winners of the Mercedes-Benz Start-up competition, a Canada-wide program which gives young, up-and-coming designers a chance to elevate their brand through networking, working with “industry insiders” and more. Each year, finalists are invited to present in October for the chance to show a fuller […]
The tents may have been freezing, but World MasterCard Fashion Week kicked off yesterday afternoon with Mikhael Kale’s show in the studio space. The collection was full of ruffly embellishments, inspired napkins, as well as metals (the napkin ring). In many ways, it was also a little bit “rocker chick.” The colours were a […]
Another Fashion Week is over! Over all, it was another amazing week, featuring many old favourites, such as Pink Tartan, David Dixon and more. There were also some rebranded lines, such as Beaufille (formerly known as Chloé comme parris) and Mikael D (Pavoni). So now that WMCFW is over for the season, I am presenting […]
The first Fashion Saturday was held at the tents at David Pecaut Square on October 26. Featuring highlights of the best looks presented at World MasterCard Fashion Week, divided into three shows (casual pieces, officewear and evening/cocktai) in three sessions, there was also an opportunity for attendees to shop various Canadian designers. A handful of […]
The last day (not counting Fashion Saturday – more on that in the Yays, Mehs and Nays coming later this week)! Hilary Macmillan: One of the few designers who actually included true spring/summer colours in the collection – lavenders and shiny pieces, combined with the blacks and whites seen at the vast majority of shows […]
DAY 3: Paria Shivani: The first of two shows presented by The Collections, this women’s line has a young flare. The orange/tomato red tops and bottoms as well as the gauzey overlay on many of the pieces. Many of the looks are fairly wearable for every day situations, while others are in the “in between” […]
Judging from the sophisticated, elegant looks, it’s hard to believe that Matthew Gallagher is still in his 20s. His sophomore season at World MasterCard Fashion Week, once again, this collection is not for the 20-something party girl. Inspired by the Italian Riviera, there was also a hint of Grace Kelly (Grace Kelly was hinted last […]
Pink Tartan: I have a love-hate relationship with this line, and have so for the past few seasons. I love LOOKING at the outfits, but they tend to be very heavy and don’t work well on shorter women with very small frames – most pieces are next to impossible to alter without changing the shape […]
Designing siblings Chloé and Parris Gordon have been gracing the tents of World MasterCard Fashion Week/LG Fashion Week for several seasons with their line, Chloé comme parris has rebranded. Their new line, called Beaufille (“handsome girl”) launched at World MasterCard Fashion Week yesterday, opening the Spring/Summer 2014 shows. The press release said that the upcoming […]
World MasterCard Fashion Week is upon us and I am sure many Toronto area bloggers and other fashionistas are spending the weekend deciding what to wear for the entire week. My tip? BE COMFORTABLE! Yes, it’s great to wear attention-grabbing clothes to grab a street style photographer’s attention, but most of the time, the outfits […]
