Joe Fresh Style announced today that Crystal Renn and Kirsten Owen will be the guest models at the brand’s Fall 2010 presentation next week. Booking top models has become a regular feature of the Joe shows. Past presentations have featured Coco Rocha, Irina Lazareanu, and for the Spring 2010 show, Theodora Richards.

Judy Cornish and Joyce Gunhouse have been making clothes together for over 25 years. The pair launched their Comrags label in 1983 and they’re still creating cool clothes for the women who walk by their Queen West shop every day. We sent them a few pre-Fashion Week questions to give you a sneak peek at what they’ve got cooking for fall. Read up, after the jump.

One of the most talk-about elements of the Greta Constantine show were the shattered-glass accessories, which also inspired the makeup look. M.A.C senior artist Melissa Gibson designed a “shattered lashes” effect that used four different lash styles cut into chunks and placed around the models’ eyes in random patterns. Says M.A.C senior artist Jane McKay, […]

Down in the basement of a Toronto car dealership (Audi, specifically), Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong put on one of the strongest shows we’ve seen for their womenswear label, Greta Constantine (and her little menswear brother, Ezra). Simply put, it was a runway full of gorgeous, wearable clothes that women will want to wear. Ka-ching. […]

Fashion on the silver screen is nothing new. Previewing a fall collection worn by fierce fembots from the future in mortal 3D combat, however, definitely felt fresh. Donning our 3D glasses (and munching on strawberry Twizzlers) we sat back and took in Nada’s Fall 2010 presentation, a video dubbed Future Fashion/Fashion Future.  Taking full advantage […]

Menswear designer Philip Sparks rang the opening bell, figuratively speaking, for two weeks of presentations leading up to Toronto’s LG Fashion Week, which starts March 28. As is the case with so many off-schedule presentations, it was as much cocktail party as fashion show with guests nibbling on cheese and drinking Hendricks gin cocktails before […]

We mentioned earlier today that LG Fashion Week would now be taking place at the Allstream Centre at Toronto’s Exhibition Place. According to a release sent today by the Fashion Design Council of Canada, the organization “requires a much larger canvas to articulate its vision” and that the warehouse at 30 Ordnance Street was a “romantic idea,” but fraught with logistical challenges. How a warehouse is romantic, we don’t know, so we’ll just join the chorus of tweeters who are just happy that there will be proper washrooms.

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.)
