Held at Arta Gallery at the Distillery District, Minling Pan (DelectablyChic! spoke with Ms. Pan in an interview a few weeks ago) celebrated her anniversary and launched her private label collection on Monday evening. Featuring some of Toronto’s favourite bloggers as models (including Dainty Girl‘s Nicole Wilson, the Sparks Twins and Toronto Beauty Review‘s Elaine […]
Hilary MacMillan presented her Fall/Winter 2013 collection at 99 Sudbury last Monday, a line that is fairly affordable, at the $150-$400 range, according to a Q&A. DelectablyChic!, however, was unable to attend the show, so we could only judge the collection from photos sent to us. This collection, which consists of gorgeous, rich tones, ranging […]
The store may have been open for at least a couple of weeks, but Stuart Weitzman’s Bloor and Avenue Road location held its official opening party Wednesday evening. Located at the old Ports boutique, the layout of the space is long and narrow, different from the Eaton Centre location, which is more open. Size-wise, it […]
While the weather was dreadful last week, things turned for the better by the time I attended the LOFT summer preview event earlier this week. Tired of winter, and winter weather in general, not only was I happy to see the warmer weather, but also to see the warm weather clothing that have either already […]
OPI held its official global launch of its Fall 2013 “San Francisco” collection at Hotel Me Madrid Reina Victoria in Madrid, Spain.

They have more money.” To add a modern twist to Hemingway’s quip, it could also be said that they have less cellulite. At least those who visit Cal-a-Vie, an […]
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 […]
