As we approach September 6, three of the country’s top metropolises are prepping for Canada’s first-ever Fashion’s Night Out, a veritable fashion fiesta that began with Vogue and CFDA’s first FNO in New York City in 2009. The one-night, after-hours festivities celebrating everything fashion will see exciting events taking place in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. […]

The post Full Frontal FNO: Our complete (and constantly updated) guide to what’s going down in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal on Canada’s first Fashion’s Night Out appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

The single-nail style of gradient manicure has been making the rounds on nail blogs recently—thanks in part to its simple application method (I swear!) and its endless colour possibilities. It’s also a favourite of L.A.-based nail artist Madeline Poole, whose cheery sunset-ish designs will convince anyone to make this her next manicure. And when it comes to translating spring’s underwater trend into nail art, what could be better than a deep blue to foamy white gradient? Peter Pilotto’s aquatic print—as well as the illustration that accompanied it in our March issue—served as the perfect Nail Corner inspiration. Time to break out a makeup sponge and find out how to do this manicure!

Dare we compare the current resurgence of backpacks to the ’90s frenzy over their miniature counterparts? Whatever the era, the convenience and casual cuteness of a backpack makes it an ideal accessory when you have to carry more than your regular purse can handle. Play it down with colourful canvas or dial it up with monogrammed leather—we spotted backpacks of all styles on the streets of Toronto, from Kensington Market to Yorkville and beyond.

The style snaps continue from the streets of New York! This time around we’re outside Donna Karan and 3.1 Phillip Lim, catching colourful shots of neon—like Sarah Rutson’s bright demin jacket and Miroslava Duma’s tie-dyed Proenza top. Also worth noting: from Rachel Zoe to Joanna Hillman, the statement sunglass still reign supreme.

As we’ve alluded to in our daily NYFW diary coverage, there’s a lot of rushing around during fashion week. From backstage to front row, from one show to another (and not a moment too late!) it’s safe to bet that most editors and attendees are well versed in dashing from place to place—gracefully of course! We capture some of the rush with today’s style snaps, taken outside Diane von Furstenberg and inside Y-3. Sit down and relax for a moment… and enjoy!

We’re taking a little break from our usual street style beat to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the goings-on before, during, and after Jeremy Laing’s Fall 2012 show. As you might have already read, we loved Laing’s collection—from his fresh denim velvet abstract print to the rear-view zippers, it’s easy to see why he’s one of Canada’s strongest exports.

We’re just getting started!

Come see what else we spotted outside Hervé Léger, Rag & Bone, and Prabal Gurung.
