Kicking off Toronto Fashion Week

Toronto Fashion Week: Despite the wall-to-wall crowds, the start of Toronto World Master Card Fashion Week show is generally a slow burn, with things not getting properly fired up until at least day 2. However, the parade of the fall/winter 2012 fashion week collections show – again held in the city’s David Pecaut Square – started out with a bang, or rather, a tap. A jovial tap dancer kicked off Holt Renfrew’s biannual fashion week show with some of its favorite homegrown labels, coaxing smiles out of even the front row’s poker faces here in Toronto Canada. – - See more Fashion Week show

LA this past weekend, knocked out five of our 15 best LAFW events by attending Concept Fashion Week show at Ace Gallery. The two-day LA show was filled with experimental installations and runway shows that catered to the city’s sartorial game-changers, which made both the featured looks and invited guests equally entertaining to watch.The LA Chambers show kicked it all off on Friday night with their signature streetwear-meets-grunge menswear offerings. Just like our takeaway from their Gen Art show last year, we’re happy to report that the fashion brand is still doing an ace job in LA providing the average dude with foolproof options for everyday layering. Outerwear fashion was abundant and better than ever. Saturday’s line-up started with the Gypsy Junkies show, which had this ’90s boho thing going on. Think floral separates and ethereal gowns mixed with crushed velvet and corduroy pants. Next, we watched a flurry of inventive silhouettes march down the Laili Lau runway, complete with loosely draped dresses, lightweight fashion knits and harem pants that we wouldn’t mind mixing and matching this fall. Fittingly, we ended our Concept LA trip with two highly conceptual installations: Belle N. Matisse and Curly-V. BNM’s collection took the idea of strong shoulders to the next level by presenting a range of avant-garde looks that featured pointy shoulder pads. We likened the gray numbers to futuristic officewear. There was also a pair of pants with pointed knee caps and a sheer shirt with wings. Curly-V’s fashion display was by far the quirkiest of the bunch and felt like we stepped into a trippy ’60s film. Titled “Big Mouff,” the collection took a literal approach to the “tooth” in “houndstooth” by using teeth to form the iconic print. Jeremy Scott would approve this LA beat.

Is it strictly appropriate for a French couturier to send out a catwalk homage to Amy Winehouse complete with models wearing exposed bra straps, Fred Perry collars, baseball jackets and shirts tucked into pencil skirts? Probably not. But yesterday in Paris Jean Paul Gaultier chose to do just that. A live barbershop quartet crooned an elliptical rendition of the late singer’s most famous recording, “Rehab”, and Gaultier went so far as to attach black veils to towering beehives for his … story ®Courtesy of inspirationsinmylife, wanna Read more !

We’ve been gearing up for this holiday for a while it seems and now that it’s just around the corner, we can almost smell mom’s home-cooked dinner and feel the warmth of our fuzzy flannels. With that in mind, we made a solid list of movies we plan on enjoying for solid hours (let’s be honest – days) that we haven’t had a chance to watch just yet. In our quest to ensure we have an ample veg-out sesh, we stumbled upon several movies that have yet to be released (Batman anyone?!) but one got us super excited: Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston. No, this isn’t about a 90′s nightclub — we have Limelight for that – this documentary focuses on the life, tragedy, and talent of the man behind Halston. Finally! Film-maker Whitney Sudler-Smith interviews Halston’s muses, friends, and clients in this film that depicts the designer’s career starting as a hat maker at Bergdorf Goodman, through the glitter-speckled nights at Studio 54 and ultimately, selling his namesake to the likes of JC Penney, decades before any other brand caught onto the diffusion line trend. – - more
