I grew up in the Middle East where I was partial to a number of mouth-watering delicacies. Among these is one I seek out everywhere I go, but can rarely find in its true form. The Lebanese call this preparation “toum.” Toum in a mixer Toum is thick, fluffy, creamy garlic sauce, somewhat similar to […]
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 – […]
Today’s the final day of Fashion Week. Shows include OR by Angela Chen, Sarah Stevenson and diepo. Many of the shows are being held in the studio, a smaller, more intimate space.
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.

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.
Wesley Badajak’s LOVAS Fall/Winter 2011 is called “Sisters” which honours his mother, Manda Badanjak and aunt, Marija Vejin, both immigrants from Croatia who arrived in the mid-1970s. The collection, which is both influenced by the decade his family came to the country as well as his Croation roots, is very lady-like, with below-the-knee skirts, texture and patterns. As we […]
Shows today include Micalla, a jewellery line based out of Montreal, as well as LOVAS, Comrags and KRANE Design. Micalla, which was first to show, took place in the smaller studio space where model donning basic black walked down the small runway wearing dangly, glittery pieces. More to come as the day goes on…
Most of you know by now that Mad Men has been delayed to at least the early part of 2012, leaving us with nothing to watch in the summer! From reading blogs and Tweets since the announcement yesterday, many are not too happy about this as the series is part of their Sunday nights during […]
