Pink Tartan Just Launched a Patriotic Canadian Fashion Collab
Drake may get credit for pushing Canadian fashion into the limelight, but after 15 years pink tartan’s Kim Newport-Mimran isn’t starting at the bottom. This fall, her Toronto flagship in Yorkville will carry Canadian-designed pieces exclusively, alongside her now locally produced Pink Tartan line. “It just happened organically,” says Newport-Mimran of the switch. “Working and […]

TFW diary: Flippy skirts, mini ’60s shifts, and Andrej Pejic at Pink Tartan
Photography by Jenna Marie Wakani View the runway photo gallery »
View the backstage beauty photo gallery »Kim Newport-Mimran described her spring collection as modern ’60s sportswear, citing her own cropped bob as proof of her current mindset, and a photo of buzzy model-of-the-week Andrej Pejic with a flower in his mouth looking “very modern Bardot” as an early inspiration. Styling help came from New Yorker and former Marie Claire fashion director Lucy Sykes (Plum’s twin).
After a darker, camo-laden detour last season, the brand is back on preppy, work-wearable ground: fitted, drop-waist dresses in white and blue Prada-like stripes are made in “power stretch, a knit that works like a woven and holds everything in”; red and blue cigarette pants in a sheeny silk-wool are sleek but fun. A few very short, flippy skirts and mini ’60s shifts skew younger—or braver—than usual. And though she may have taken a stumble in her Celine two-tone heels when she came out for her bow with Pejic, Newport-Mimran should be on solid selling ground this season.

TFW diary: Pitch-perfect covetability at Pink Tartan
Photography by Jenna Marie Wakani Like any good Mimran, Kim Newport truly understands the business of fashion. Always just trendy enough to get the shopping list fantasizing going, but never so much so that she’s off on a limb in the discount bin. Albeit a little derivative of Proenza Schouler’s spring 2008 and/or spring 2010 collections, Pink Tartan’s fall offering was nothing short of pitch-perfect covetability. Part updated-military, part festooned dancer, the show included a series of standouts like the belted utility vests and relaxed button downs over ostrich skirts, the cable knits and a large army printed ballgown. Backstage, Newport called it “couturitarian”. We call it “yes, please!”
