All the skinny-over-caffeinated-indoor-sunglass-wearing-people have gone into hiding again, which means that all the major fashion weeks have come to a close! Looking back on all the shows, in fall 2009 we’re seeing lots of black, metallic and form fitting clothes with interesting shapes. Here are a few stand outs from Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver Fashion Week:
Denis Gagnon from Montreal Fashion Week: There was an amazing mix of fabrications from silks, to leathers to furs. He used his skills in draping to create edgy yet feminine looks. We also saw lots of a-symmetry in the hemlines, at the waist and at the neck.
Marie Saint Pierre from Montreal Fashion week: Her show wowed right from the start. It was full of lots of ruffles, pleats and draping. She created beautiful clothes with lots of volume and drama.
Evan Bidell from Toronto Fashion Week: Yes, he was the winner of season 1 Project Runway Canada, and for good reason! His line stood out on the runway- in a good way! Lots of tight leather jackets- crazy oversized knit scarves and color color color!
Andy The-Anh from Toronto Fashion Week: Lots of texture! That’s what Andy The-Anh is all about for fall. Sexy swing coats, stunning evening wear and the perfect little cocktail dress is what we saw. Lots of teal and orange accents with emphasis around the waist. Perfect clothes made for a sophisticated and glamorous lady.
Joseph Domingo from Vancouver Fashion Week: This collection had brilliant tailoring. Lots of corsets with skinny pants which seemed to be inspired by Lady GaGa. Joseph accented even each garment with touches of gold and silver. Lots of sparkle and lots of shine is whats hot for fall 2009.
So don’t throw out your leggings they are here to stay- especially shiny or leather ones. Pair your favorite evening dress with a motorcycle jacket and most of all don’t forget to wear black!
