During (and after) October’s Spring 2010 LG Fashion Week, readers of fashion illustrator Danielle Meder’s blog, Final Fashion, were treated to paper doll renderings of Pink Tartan, Philip Sparks, Vawk and 12 other Canadian collections. In each set selection of looks sat tabbed and ready to be cut out and put onto paper dolls styled in the show’s hair and makeup–and all the appropriate underpinnings.
