Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2010: Pat McDonagh

Pat McDonagh’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection was a beautiful display of elegant luxury. A primary color palette of black, red and grey helped to refine each look and create interest. Military-style jackets trimmed with fur, interesting printed leggings, structured jackets with bold shoulders, pinstripe suits with nautical details, knitwear leggings, techno-fibre jumpsuits, shearling lined tops, lizard-printed dresses, slimming jersey dresses and latex dresses embellished with feathers all graced the catwalk.

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2010: Lundström

For Fall/Winter 2010, Lundstrom showed a beautiful, cohesive and highly wearable collection comprised of luxurious velvets, rich leathers, chunky knits, bold graphic prints, delicate cashmere and colored wools. Fur was subtly incorporated into a number of looks as trim, head pieces and neck pieces. The runway was graced by a variety of interesting and fun silhouettes created by glamorous wool capes, pleated A-line skirts, sleek trench coats, bell bottom sleeved tops, sleeveless suits, asymmetrical velvet evening dresses, thigh-high chunky knit socks and paper-bag skirts. The simple color palette of beige, brown, grey and black added to the overall elegance of the collection.

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2010: Joe Fresh and Attitude

Combat-studded and high-heeled ankle boots, fur coats, leather and plaid, are all going to be gracing Joe Fresh store shelves for this Fall/Winter. Designer Joe Mimran is also featuring shorts for the chillier months ahead, perhaps predicting mild temperatures?

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2010: Pink Tartan

There was a lot about last night's Pink Tartan show that I liked. The styling was fantastic. I loved the side braids and aviator caps worn by the models. The leather was gorgeous — in particular, a soft-looking puff-sleeved dress and a pleated high-waisted skirt. One model with a long-fringed pixie cut looked strikingly like designer Kimberley Newport-Mimran in an outfit that I consider her trademark look: a sexy pencil skirt and crisp white shirt. In this exceptional case, the shirt featured a silver-studded collar and the skirt was a metallic black brocade.

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2010: Andy The-Anh

Andy The-Anh has a romantic eye and his collections are always a feminine mix of influences. Last night's show was no different. Its film noir-meets-tango theme was well threaded throughout, starting with the smokey visuals at the opening of the show, moody yet sexy music, high heeled-stomping sound effects and of course the clothes. The designer managed to take an abstract camoflage print and turn it into elegant eveningwear. And there were other military-inspired accents in the addition of a cargo pocket to sophisticated black pants and skirts. There were structured grown-up ruffles done in gowns, flippy flamenco skirts and body-conscious leather. I enjoyed the show and imagine that the collection will sell well but the presentation felt a little long. On the other hand, reviewing the photos, I'm not sure I can see any outfits that needed to stay backstage. I'm glad I saw them all.

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2010: Evan Biddell

Project Runway Canada bad boy, Evan Biddell, always pushes the envelope with each of his collections and buyers, stylists, fashionistas and fans alike eagerly packed into the runway room last night at LG Fashion Week to see what he's come up with for Fall/Winter 2010.

Toronto Fashion Week: Greta & Ezra Constantine Fall/Winter 2010

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2009: Rudsak Spring 2010

The Rudsak show is always one of my favourite shows to attend at Toronto Fashion Week and last night's presentation truly didn't dissapoint. Rudsak is known for its well tailored classic designs and for its high quality leather goods, plus they always have the hottest print and runway models!

Project Runway Canada Season 1 winner and Canada’s fashion design bad boy, Evan Biddell, rocked the Toronto Fashion Week runway with a creative and visually stunning presentation of his Spring/Summer 2010 collection.

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2009: Pink Tartan and Theodora Richards does Joe Fresh

Wednesday night at the Toronto Fashion Week tents was quite the hub of activity. Favourite shows of media, fashion fans and socialites alike, Pink Tartan and Joe Fresh garner quite the audience. Not only were there fashion celebs and botoxed socials to stare at, former Maple Leaf Tie Domi and current Raptors forward Chris Both sat front row.

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2009: Bustle

Yesterday, Project Runway Canada judge Shawn Hewson's Bustle Spring/Summer 2010 runway presentation transported us to a summer cottage getaway and it helped us to forget, momentarily, about the chilly fall weather outside. The runway was decorated with fabulous summer deck furniture, a barbecue, a mini bar on a cart and even a sofa. A projection completed the seasonal illlusion by lighting up the background and casting a tranquil cottage scene onto the runway backdrop.

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2009: Philip Sparks Spring 2010

Last week, I attended the Philip Sparks’ Spring 2010 menswear show and I was immensely delighted by the designer’s creative vision and his clever and savy bespoke skills. The inspiration for this collection was cottage life and ‘50s Canadian Pacific Railway getaway ads. I’m a true patriot at heart and I love all fashion that speaks to and endorses Canadiana.

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2009: Scenes From the Holt Renfrew Media Cocktail Party

Holt Renfrew is one of the main sponsors of Toronto Fashion Week and each fashion week Holts hosts the most fabulous cocktail party to kick off the week long celebration of Canadian fashion. Last night, Beauty Buff and I attended the cocktail party and Canadian designers, celebrities, media and fashionistas were all out in full force and dressed to the nines. We mixed and mingled with Canda's fashion glitterati and we even posed (see below) for a few pictures too!

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2009: What's the Biggest Splurge in Your Wardrobe?

You know when you see someone walking down the street wearing a designer purse or shoes and you think: "I love that! I wish I could afford to buy it." Maybe that person could afford it, maybe they couldn't. Maybe, it was just a splurge! To find out more on what fashionable items people have splurged on, yours truly took this question to the streets - see what people had to say in the video below.

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2009: Greta Constantine

The Greta Constantine show began with the sound of breaking glass as the models energetically stormed down the runway to the opening chords of Michael and Janet Jackson's "Scream."
