Neya Couture brought evening gowns with a little Indian inspiration to the runway of Toronto Fashion Week. The cuts and fabrics of some of the gowns in the collection reminded me much of indian sarees and suits, especially with the embroidery. These gowns were made of flowy fabrics which moved along the runway like clouds. …
Candace Daniela did amazing with her well-rounded collection of men’s and women’s pieces, with an emphasis and focus on outerwear. The combination of wool, alpaca, fur and leather was beautiful and most importantly very wearable for Canadian winters. Men’s and women’s pieces had military detail and tailoring, and hats which remind me of military caps. …
We had the pleasure to see Ellie Mae as our first runway show at Toronto Fashion Week (Day 2). After travelling to Toronto that morning, we rushed to our AirBnB Loft, changed and went straight to the tends. Full of excitement and anticipation, we got seated in the front row and admired the beautiful collection …
I know whenever we start planning a trip, one of the important things for us to consider is what exactly to wear for that long, often connecting flight. Comfort is definitely key for us, but style is just as crucial and can not be easily compromised. I love layering for flights as I am super …
Today’s fashion world loves to juxtapose old-standing ideals of beauty and design, and this piece from Lord & Taylor is the perfect example of the same. Who would imagine a sweatshirt dress to have over-sized silk flowers on it? This was an insanely comfortable item to explore Toronto’s Bloor Street in, and best of all, it was cozy against the chilly winds of Ontario. Win win in our books!
The one thing we definitely had time for in Toronto during WMCFW was coffee – on-the-go, in our rooms, with every meal, and as a stand alone meal. The best part was that Toronto was offering the new Starbucks La Boulange collection – pretty pastries and dainty new packaging with a very French feel. Our very own @Mon_Mode decided to take a cue from Boulange and dress the part.
The highly anticipated World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto, Canada was 5 days filled with talent, style and amazing people. Sponsored by The Ritz Carlton, Joe Fresh, Redken, Krugs and many other renowned names in the industry, the entire event was outstanding and made us proud to be Canadian.
This beautiful and well thought out collection by Hilary was amongst our top 3 at WCMFW this circuit. The styling was on point, the hair / make-up just effortless enough, the live band added the right amount of cool calm – but the most important, of course, were the clothes. Beautiful separates in whites, blacks and nudes, with pops of red. The right amount of fur and leather met soft and delicate lace. This was by far the most wearable collection, and the wonderfully presented “Elastic Heart” is still playing in our heads!
The “cool rebel” design house of Rudsak closed out the fourth day of WMCFW this season, and the travel themed runway show was a big hit with the fashion crowd in the packed venue. There was a short black and white film that started the show, and the first model walked down the runway with a rolling carry-on, as a massive airport themed display showcased global cities. We were transported to a cold day (with snow on the runway) when you’re in between airports, where comfort and practicality meets chic and sophisticated.
For the second day of WMCFW looks, we knew that the chilling winds of Toronto would be no match for this faux-fur shaggy blue and grey coat. Not only did it catch attention, it also scared away the winds because the rest of Day 2 was pleasant and totally bearable! Also, these Shelly London platforms we scored yesterday at a boutique on Queen Street in Toronto’s downtown are not only a life-saver after yesterday’s full day of walking (and in heels!) but also a prominent style staple.
