Cynthia Cheng Mintz On a runway with winter-like branches at the back, models strutted Monique Lhullier‘s Fall/Winter 2011 collection. Featuring a palette of blacks, off-whites and reds, the collection consisted of many pieces that Monique herself described as one that shows off a woman’s confidence. From feathery tops and skirts to flowing sheer and leg […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz It comes to no surprise that Carolina Herrera’s Fall/Winter 2011 collection cries out lady-like elegance, from formal evening gowns to shorter pieces that are more appropriate daytime. Unlike the more casual or younger looking lines, the pieces are more much more pleasing to the eye. This definitely tells us her experience – […]

Cynthia Cheng Mintz Neutrals seem to rule this season, though there were some colourful pieces at Max Azria‘s show Sunday afternoon. Though the show opened with several shapeless, tent like dresses that looked like they needed belting, it eventually moved away from that, with many gorgeous ensembles that would warm up anyone in cooler weather. The “it” […]

Her show opened with a dark runway, with the first few models wearing dark colours such as greys/blacks, especially for pants and skirts. Tops were a little more varied, with some […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz At Cynthia Rowley’s show Friday, green was definitely not absent. Half of her collection for Fall/Winter 2011 had at least some elements of the colour. In addition, many of the pieces truly had a cold weather vibe to it, as it appeared to be made from velvet from the perspective of an […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz For Fall/Winter 2011, Ruffian is all about lace, with more than half the pieces containing this elegant material. It is also very much 1980s inspired – not only are we seeing the lace, but also shoulder pads (the show opened with pieces that were inspired by formal menswear) as well as poofy numbers that remind many […]
Yesterday, Lux Spa in Toronto’s Yorkville district hosted a wonderful post-work event, featuring relationships author, Andrea Syrtash, who was in town to promote her book, He’s Just Not Your Type (and that’s a Good Thing). The evening, which featured some book signing as well as mini manicures and appetizers, was full of chit-chat not among […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz One of the other shows livestreaming from New York Fashion Week was Luca Luca, a line that describes itself as a “high fashion women’s luxury lifestyle brand.” The show today definitely lived up to the standard. Instead of being funky like many lines try to be, they were staying with their Euro Chic […]
