Going on a Mediterranean Vacation with Pink Tartan

Inspired by the Catalan region of Spain, the Pink Tartan’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection is filled with bright, casual pieces that give off the vibe of a fun vacation abroad.  There’s something old fashioned – perhaps taking people back to a time when air travel was a luxury – yet modern at the same time. Though […]

World MasterCard Fashion Week: Day 1 and 2 Highlights

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 […]

World MasterCard Fashion Week: Highlights from Day 1

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 […]

Highlights from World MasterCard Fashion Week: Day 1

Toronto’s World MasterCard Fashion Week opened last night with its usual Holt Renfrew show.  However, rather than featuring Canadian designers’ Spring/Summer 2013 collections who aren’t having their own shows at World MasterCard FashionWeek, the entire show featured pieces by various national and international designers that are available at Holts right now.  Kind of strange, in […]

Pretty in Pink Tartan and Rebellious Disco Chic

Kimberly Newport-Mimran’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection featured her signature full skirts and timeless, preppy pieces.  However, there was a twist.  While the show started off with pretty, cotton candy coloured looks in pale pink and mint with a splash of sharp berry with a strong “Mad Men,” lady-like vibe,  it soon turned 1970s disco (to the […]

LG Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012: Likes and Dislikes

Well, it’s that’s a wrap.  The Spring/Summer 2012 collections are now over and boy, it was an amazing week.  A new location which takes us back tents gave it more of a fashion week feel.  Of course, accessibility for those who take public transportation this time around was better as well – the location was […]
