Toronto Fashion Week: Pink Tartan goes up in the air for fall
Judging from the biker jackets, boat loads of black, military toppers and slick leather dresses, the Fall 2010 Pink Tartan girl is one tough cookie. Designer Kimberley Newport-Mimran (who took her runway bow in skinny camo pants and matching peep-toe heels) struck the ideal balance of strong and soft with pieces, such as the rhinestone-encrusted […]

The Toronto fashion week schedule is up. (And they’ve got a new home)
Toronto’s LG Fashion Week has found a new home. After living in tents at Nathan Phillips Square (a few short blocks from our office), then last season at King and Shaw, the show is moving to an indoor spot with 40-foot ceilings in nearby Liberty Village. FDCC prez Robin Kay told The Toronto Star that the runway will be inside the building, which will also have a tent erected outside.
The FDCC has also released a roughed in schedule with a start date of Sunday, March 28. (The shows close Thursday, April 1.)

The Bay makes a Blanket Statement with ten Canadian designers
Back in October, we told you about the Bay’s new line of Canadiana–The Hudson’s Bay Company Collection–the brings canoes, paddles and point blankets together with collaborations with Canadian fashion names such as Pink Tartan, Harricana and Virginia Johnson. The line launched Tuesday night at a packed cocktail party where guests noshed on de rigueur nouveau comfort food–grilled cheese sandwiches with homemade ketchup, potatoes with bison tartare and maple syrup poured over freezer-made snow. The big attraction of the evening was the official unveiling of ten one-of-a-kind coats–together dubbed The Blanket Statement–that the Bay commissioned from a group of Canadian designers who played with the iconic point blanket.

Toronto: Pink Tartan Spring 2010
After last season‘s combat boot clad models stomped down the Pink Tartan runway, we wondered if PT really stood for Pretty Tough. This season, it seems that designer Kimberley Newport-Mimran decided to take a turn in another direction: back to the ’80s. But rather than looking like just another runway rewind, PT’s spring 2010 collection delivered on the fresh factor. Bold shoulder pads and sequin-sprayed vests, cropped jackets and dresses drove home the opulent ’80s theme, while the spandex workout gear and anorak jackets lent a “Let’s Get Physical” feel. It was all very Sporty Spice and it worked, big time. Mixed in amongst all of this shimmer and shine were the tried and true PT touches: exposed zippers, nautical stripes, wide-leg sailor trousers and classic button-down shirts (which played the role of a sexy dress this time around). Trenches morphed from cropped to maxi to coat dress in a range of go-with-everything hues like light grey,
midnight blue and tan. FASHION‘s final thought: When can we get our hands on this hot collection?See a gallery of the collection after the jump.

LG Fashion Week: Wednesday’s best look
Taryn Davidson closed last night’s Pink Tartan show in a double-breasted sequin vest swinging open over a tube top and bottoms so fitted they looked like bike shorts. The look typified the collection’s mix of shimmer and sportif and on the exit, it appeared as liquid silver. Check out all of FASHION’s coverage of LG […]

Toronto: Holts’ opening party shows off top Canadian talent
Last night, Toronto’s fashion crowd gathered for the first official party of LG Fashion Week: the Holt Renfrew Media Cocktail. The bash is always a hot ticket, and in recent seasons, Holts has offered up a mini runway show to showcase the Canadian talent they’re featuring in their World Design Lab. This season, the group was, what the company’s VP of fashion direction, Barbara Atkin, referred to as “our own group of seven.” The presentation was a chance to take a peek at looks from designers who show in other cities, as with Jeremy Laing and Denis Gagnon, or who don’t do shows at all, as is the case with Mikhael Kale, Lida Baday and Smythe. Kale’s pieces were a space-age pastiche of skins, prints and fringe, while Baday showed a trio of simple, well-crafted pieces in black and white. And we never get tired of seeing what Denis Gagnon can do with leather. Also on the ticket were a handful of looks from Greta Constantine, who showed their full collection last week, and Pink Tartan, who’s up tomorrow night.

Bay watch: The Canadian icon reimagined
We went over to the Bay Queen Street earlier today to check out the newly revamped The Room. Actually, revamped is too soft a term for the metamorphosis of the Bay flagship’s home for runway wear–it’s truly a sight to behold. We’ll have pictures tomorrow, but in the meantime, we wanted to show you another of the company’s cool projects: the Hudson’s Bay Company collection. The new line has everything from canoes to tees and includes collaborations with some Canadian designers–striped cardies from by Pink Tartan, recycled fur handbags by Harricana’s Mariouche Gagné and one-of-a-kind, not-for-sale coats from the likes of Jeremy Laing, Erdem (see it on our cover!), Smythe and Todd Lynn.

Backstage beauty: Pink Tartan and Joe Fresh Style
Pink Tartan
The Pink Tartan lady is so not a lady this season. At the Fall 2009 show on Wednesday night, she’d jettisoned every ounce of femininity out the window and morphed into an androgynous being. To create a “boyish” look, L’Oreal Paris official makeup artist Eddie Maleterre created a completely neutral face with matte skin, contouring the cheeks with powder four shades darker than the model’s skin tone. -
Toronto: Comrags, Andy Thê-Anh, Pink Tartan and Joe Fresh Style Fall 2009
Packed schedule on the LG roster with some of Toronto’s most well-known labels – Comrags, Andy Thê-Anh, Pink Tartan and Joe Fresh Style. Time to rev up those fashion batteries and re-gloss those air-kissers…
Comrags [watch our interview] designers Joyce Gunhouse and Judy Cornish delivered a strong Fall 2009 collection. And if the wool plaids, printed knits and florals didn’t wow you (as if they wouldn’t…) then surely the large bouquets presented to the designers by the Comrags’ kids during their runway bow would have touched your haute little heart.
