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.

When interning for a designer or showroom, it is very likely that you will come across the opportunity to work a trade show. Major shows such as the ENK shows (Intermezzo, Coterie, Sole Commerce) are well known and can exhibit up to 5,000 vendors! These shows usually take place at the Javitz Center.

Have this information mentally ready beforehand so that the order process runs smoothly…..read More

The actors are in the foreground, so the costumes are in the foreground,” comments costume designer, Jeffrey Kurland, Oscar-nominated for Bullets Over Broadway. Yet whereas a period or fantasy costume might pop off the screen due to the nature of the clothing and the spectacle of the films, the average viewer may not even notice contemporary costumes because they are so integrated into the experience of a film as a whole. If that is the case, how does one not only vote for costume design, but first recognize costume design that is award winning?
