As a Canadian, I only get a limited selection of Kate Spade bags, currently available at Holt Renfrew. Imagine my pleasant surprise when yesterday, I went into their website not only to find a newly revamped version which includes not only product, a “Deborah Loves” section (similar to “Jenna’s Picks” on jcrew.com) and a corporate responsibility […]

Cynthia Cheng Mintz Julianna Bennett, designer of Mulcair was at Yorkville’s Rac Boutique Friday for an evening of chatting, shopping and fun. Bloggers and fashionistas alike had the chance to speak with Julianna about her line.

The show was an hour late (or, in fashion-speak, half an hour), but it was definitely worth it. Prada‘s Fall/Winter 2011 line’s all about flight. Ranging from aviator sunglasses to caps and big button coats the collection also had vibes several decades, ranging from mod 1960s to the 1980s. The “it” item, fur, was also a big […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz OK, it comes to no surprise that the 1970s are back. However, Gucci, which is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, takes it even one step further, making the 1970s even more extreme. The collection’s most dominant colours were in the greens and teals. Purples and burnt oranges/tans were also seen. Fall/Winter 2011 is filled with fur-trimmed […]
Well, according to Lisa Tant’s (Flare Magazine) Tweet this morning, anyway. No further details were given, though there are at least two brands that come to mind. I have heard that Christian Dior has been trying to land a spot here for a while and TopShop (can it count as “European” or are British brands something different entirely? ) […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz Mary Katrantzou presented her very artsy pieces at the last day of London Fashion Week’s Autumn/Winter 2011 Collections (the official last day is actually Wednesday, but only men’s wear is being presented). Resembling pieces of hand-painted antique china, these very colourful pieces are certainly different from what many other designers are presenting for next season. […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz Perhaps one of the most iconic brands of Britain, Burberry presented its Autumn/Winter 2011 line Monday afternoon. The runway looked very long compared to other shows, and many of the models donned po’boy caps. The “it” look, it seems are belted coats, with several looks, both shorter and longer, being presented this […]
With blacks and olives as the dominant shades as well as sparks of green and lavendar here and there, Mulberry’s Autumn/Winter 2011 collection, presented with a backdrop of shrubs, certainly looked like it was inspired by the English countryside. Many of the looks even felt like nature, with its dark, mossy tones and flowing fabrics. […]

Designers who presented on the first two days included Daks, Jaeger London, sass & bide, Felder Felder as well as Issa London, known for the dress Kate Middleton wore at the announcement of her engagement to Prince William.
