The Joe Fresh Style show is always a crowd pleaser. Flying in top models (Crystal Renn and Kirsten Owen), debuting the new single from Shawn Desman and filling the front row with local celebs and socialites gave the show must-see buzz. While the last few seasons at Joe have shown crystal clear messages on the runway, last night’s presentation was more of a mash-up of fall’s hottest trends. With fun fur, military, sweatpants, and schoolboy, the show had much more of as street-style focus. Piece by piece, there were lots of lust-haves. Tricked-out biker boots, chain-strap bags, puffy jackets and all of the faux fur bits are sure to be big hits once they hit Loblaw and Real Canadian Superstores in a few months, but the show missed the cult caché of the past few seasons.

Okay, we’ll admit it: We’re suckers for Sears’ in-house label Attitude. Why? Well, let’s take their recent Fall 2010 line-up of sumptuous camel toppers, high-waisted pencil skirts, peg leg trousers that boast paper-bag waists, day-to-night wool capes, bold-shouldered knits and sexy secretary print blouses. Then, there’s the extras: slick studded clutch bags, jet black heels […]

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 […]

Angela Chen knows her girl—a straight-ahead, no fuss, city dweller who wants to dress well but has no time or inclination to futz with her clothes. The palette for her Fall 2010 Orange collection was kept to a strict black, white (or off-white) and silver for instant wardrobe integration and the pieces were simple, with […]

After Linda Lundström left Eleventh Floor Apparel, her label’s financial backer, to start a consulting business, EFA decided to carry on using her name under Lundström Collection (designed by an in-house team). It was a smart business move. Why? After seeing the 39 looks (there were five additional Lundström label coats designed by the LaParka originator herself, before leaving EFA) that graced the runway last night, one word came to mind: Fresh. From the chic monochromatic palettes (grey! camel! black!) to the retro-inspired toppers (love the bracelet length sleeves) and matching pencil skirts, Lundström Collection delivered the goods in a very pared-down, polished way. Among our favourite looks were the mohair wrap coats, a short swing jacket and slim pant combo, a military-inspired navy pea coat and a cream-coloured cable-knit cape. If there was a weak link in this line-up, it would be the colourful swirl print pieces, but the show’s final look–a gorgeous jet-black silk velvet column gown–definitely made up for it in Ralph Lauren-esque way.

In the midst of a sea of safe clothing showing this week, Evan Biddell set out to prove that he’s not one for commercial appeal alone. His sophisticated gang of prehistoric warriors stomped it out in neon, ’80s graphic-print jumpsuits, silver lame dresses and super sculptural, controlled, but contorted volume in coats, pants, skirts and […]
