Ostwald Helgason, the London-based label made up of German-born Susanne Ostwald and Icelandic Ingvar Helgason, is making some serious waves. Both have fashion backgrounds—Ostwald with a Fashion Design MA from Germany’s Burg Giebichenstein and Helgason with a combination of design, management, and tailoring—their individual interests in fine art and new technology come together in clean, modern shapes with a distinctly unique edge.

Betina Lou’s cute clothes are secretary-chic, and we can’t get enough. Created by Montreal designer Marie-Eve Emond, the collection is full of high waists, decorative buttons, fur collars, and subtle details, resulting in classic, almost vintage-looking pieces that are simple enough to wear every day. It’s easy to imagine girls scooping up these threads and pretending to live their lives in a François Truffaut film.

Three Vera Wang wedding dresses, $400,000 of Perrier Jouet Champagne, a four-hour TV special on E!, and a star-studded guest list still doesn’t mean till death do us part. After just 72 days of marriage Kim Kardashian is filing for divorce from Kris Humphries.

From the sporty styles spotted at Joe Fresh, Thomas Tait, and Amanda Lew Kee on the runway, to the furry vests and ombred hair already on the rise from outside the tents, Toronto Fashion Week was one fabulous trend flurry. Naturally, many of the top trends from the international shows made their comeback, including brights, must-have accessories, and vibrant prints. Get clicking and planning for next spring. Your shopping list should be at least 100 pages long.
