TFW diary: Sarah Stevenson lets us into her secret garden
Photography by Jenna Marie Wakani Even though the weather outside was miserable, flowers were in bloom at Sarah Stevenson’s Spring 2012 presentation at LGFW. I’ve seen Stevenson do floral before (her Spring 2011 featured pastels and hand-painted prints) but she does it well. This time around, the flowers were bright and inspired by springtime in her native Toronto. To create the prints, Stevenson combined different mediums mixing photography and digital manipulation a la Mary Katrantzou and watercolours and pencil crayons. Tiny blue and red bouquets covered sundresses and purple and blue petals fell to white on dresses and skirts. One standout dress had leaves draped on one shoulder and matching green butterflies on the front. Accompanied by perfectly mussed-up braids and bright lips, models looked like they emerged from a secret garden. Stevenson’s fresh take on her familiar floral prints had me longing for gardens in springtime on a gloomy October day.

FASHION Plates: Fall’s fresh florals
By Randi Bergman and Jordan Porter
While flowers and chilly fall weather usually don’t go hand-in-hand, cooler temperatures won’t cause petals to fall from our wardrobes. Inspired by David Hockney’s Fresh Flowers exhibit at the ROM and looks from Mary Katrantzou and Jil Sander’s Fall 2011 collections, we put together a bouquet of fresh florals to take you through the season.

FASHION plates: Fellini
By Randi Bergman and Jordan Porter
Fellini’s in Toronto (at least in spirit), and we can’t get the 8 ½ director out of our heads. Although he experimented with quite a few styles during his 30-year career, it’s his signature drama, seductiveness and extravagance that are on display at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in the form of film stills, magazine clippings and more. In honour of the molto dolce occasion, we bring you a Fellini-inspired edition of FASHION Plates, to help you channel the indulgent, sexy attitude of his many muses. So, up the glamour and get shopping.
Head to the TIFF Bell Lightbox for Fellini: Spectacular Obsessions and take in the chic excess associated with the director.

Rules were meant to be broken: These celebs are teaching us how to be fashion rebels!
Old-school fashion rules are generally to our benefit. In a world of muffin tops and visible panty lines, they give us some Emily Post–like structure on how to flatter our bodies and look put together in the currently “anything goes” state of sartorial modernism. That being said there are some rules that just aren’t relevant anymore, limiting your wardrobe instead of making the most of it. Here, we learn from Hollywood’s finest that rules really are made to be broken.
