Carlie Wong (of Project Runway Canada fame) debuted a sophisticated sophomore collection. Ultra-feminine shapes, decorated with cascading ruffles, silky bows and ruching, were expertly played against industrial tones of grey, slate, stone and icy blue. The packed crowd couldn’t stop gushing about her gorgeous cocktail dresses and red-carpet-worthy gowns.
Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, Zoran Dobric’s collection was both geometric and feminine. The show was dynamic with a range of textiles – from cotton to georgette to chiffon – in a natural colour palette. Dobric’s hand-drawn illustrations screened onto the fabrics gave the show a beautifully artistic touch.
Thien Le proved he was the ultimate mix master at his latest show. Juxtaposing textures, patterns, fabrics and colours, he sent an eclectic collection down the catwalk. With botanical florals, hot tropical colours, animal prints, crystal embellishments, stripes and sequins, there was something for everyone!
Sparkle and shine ruled the runway at Andy Thê-Anh. Jewel-encrusted bib necklaces peeked out from underneath unzipped, structured peplum jackets; giant, cut-crystal broaches adorned softly draped dresses and severely seamed shifts; and beaded hairpins decorated the models’ slicked coifs. Other highlights included rows upon rows of sweetly pleated panels across feminine blouses, skirts and dresses, and three dreamy goddess dresses in shades of coral.
Zippers, ties, hoods, drawstrings and a generous dose of nylon signaled sport wear was in store for spring at Joe Fresh. Puffy balloon skirts styled with cute tennis tops, and slimmed-down sweatpants with little jackets and sweaters will make easy additions to our wardrobes. And since the navy, elastic and patent, peep-toe flats are only $24, we might just scoop up the patent platforms ($29) and tomboyish leather oxfords ($59) too!
