Watching Chinese costume dramas and comedies as a little girl, and later, studying Chinese history in university, Shanghai was always portrayed as a glamorous, sort of like Paris or New York in the west. Though China had its problems in the middle of the twentieth century, it has changed a great deal over the past […]
Held last Wednesday, first with a preview dinner at Parts and Labour, followed by a more media-oriented event at the Hoxton, Toronto favourite, Greta Constantine, presented the Fall/Winter 2013 collection. The upcoming looks, which feature designing duo, Stephen Wong and Kirk Pickersgill’s signature architectural works of art and more “standard” pieces with not only the […]
Can I say that I am IN LOVE with Danier’s upcoming Fall/Winter pieces? And I don’t just mean their coats and accessories! Sure, there are definitely clutches, coats and bags that I love, but one of my absolute favourite pieces is a mixed media pencil dress, which would, believe it or not, work very well […]
Yesterday, DelectablyChic! had the opportunity to preview shoes and bags from Nine West and several other Sherson Group brands (including Anne Klein and Enzo Agiolini) at the Arcadian Lofts on Queen Bay. Over delicious sandwiches and desserts courtesy of Oliver & Bonacini, the official caterer at Hudson’s Bay Queen Street, media saw the upcoming collection, […]
Yes, it’s time once again. This was my ninth time covering Toronto Fashion Week (I say Toronto Fashion Week because it’s been under several brands since I started back in 2009, ranging from L’Oreal to LG and now, World MasterCard), and each time, there were hits and misses. So here we go with what I […]
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 […]
Day Two: Menswear line Klaxon Howl’s collection definitely had a bit of a wild west vibe, especially with their women’s capsule collection (the guys’ pieces leaned more towards the signature blue collar look). True to the brand’s philosophy, the women’s line also carries a rugged vibe. While this was an okay attempt at women’s […]
Fashion Week kicked off with MIZ (see post for more details on this collection), followed by Chloe comme Parris’s collection that was inspired by the 1990s (really, is it retro already?). With an abundance of dark colours and teen angst on the models’ faces, these pieces would not be out of place in the wardrobe […]
For the first time in a few seasons, Holt Renfrew did not kick off Fashion Week, perhaps because people prefer to see upcoming pieces rather than what is currently available in the store. Instead, the opening show as MIZ by Izzy Camilleri. Known for a line of clothes aiming at people in wheelchairs (IZ) and […]
