Mercedes-Benz Start-Up finalist, Triarchy Brand showed their first collection at the Studio. This BC-based denim line opened the show with three models, two guys and a girl putting on a jeans from a pile of denim at the back of the runway – a little confusing at first. This was followed by the rest of […]
Day Three was yet another busy day at Toronto Fashion Week with several highly anticipated shows including VAWK (which featured “regular women” models for the VAWKKIN line) and ever-popular and affordable, Joe Fresh. For me, it was also a matter of running back up to Yorkville to pop into the Coach boutique for a book […]
Day two was an exciting day, featuring collections from the artistic Adrian Wu to last season’s Mercedes-Benz StartUp winner, Martin Lim and the very ready-to-wear and petite friendly Matis by Lucian Matis (more on this collection later this week/early next week). Many of the shows had gorgeous pieces (though I know some so-called “fashion bloggers” […]
Adrian Wu’s collection was called “The Hierarchy of Need.” Inspired by the movie V for Vendetta, all of the models who walked the runway wore Anonymous masks while wearing statue-like dresses with polka dots. There were some pieces that were at least a little bit wearable, including some maxi dresses. The set, which had […]
Petites are once again hitting the stylish road at Toronto Fashion Week, checking out the hottest styles for the upcoming season. Since petites are widely ignored by the fashion world, Shorty Stories is once again, bringing back our twice-a-year Petites at Fashion Week series. The pictures for Day 1 were all taken at the Royal […]
The very first show of the week was Lucian Matis, held at the Royal York Hotel. However, before the presentation, attendees were treated to a reception of sparkling wine and hors d’oeuvres (the food was not too bad, albeit a little on the brown side). One of the sponsors, Smashbox, was there to give lip […]
The Greta Constantine Fall/Winter 2012-2013 collection opened with a splash of colour – models in dresses in bright greens, blues, oranges and more strutted down the long L-shaped runway at the Arcadian Loft s before things went a little more goth with a high concentration of blacks (and a little bit of white). […]
For some reason, I can’t seem to find this sweater at either the US/International Banana Republic store nor the Canadian one. It could be sold out, but there were plenty at the two of the stores near me when I was there last week. This versatile piece is definitely a sweater that adds pop to […]
Wesley Badanjak presented his Fall/Winter 2012 LOVAS collection at 99 Sudbury, along with the relaunch of BASCH on March 6, 2012. This marked the first BASCH presentation without Brandon Dwyer who, according to Toronto Life magazine, has left to work for a publication called Revive. The shows, which were presented at 99 Sudbury in the […]
Last month, we asked readers whether petite blogs have helped you become more stylish and “in-the-know” about what fits a shorter figure. Of those who participated, 62.5% said that petite blogs have definitely helped, 16.7% said that it depends, since most of the blogs focus on business/office-related clothing, while they were looking for something more […]
