Hot Canadian Fashion showdown
The top 10 looks from the TFI new designer showdown
Who came out on top? That would be AliceAzur’s Miriam Baker, a recent Ryerson grad, who was met with a huge hug from her visibly-moved folks at the end of the runway after accepting her prize. (Aww.) But the competition was stiff; prize or no, you’ll be seeing more of the runners-up yet.
Here are my picks for the top 10 looks from TFI New Labels 2014.
ABOVE: Nomad Of The Sun’s Ashley Boutcher focuses on swimwear tailor-made for lounging glamorously by the poolside. Her geometric suits were often layered under flowing chiffon – in this case, black sheer trousers and a plunging-front swimsuit made for ’70s-style glamour.

Fashion Retailers Weigh In

French Fashion, State Your Case: Retailers Weigh In Photo by Giovanni Giannoni:
Linda Fargo, senior vice president, fashion office and store presentation, Bergdorf Goodman:
“It’s a great tribute to the overall season when choosing one
collection above all is so difficult. However, Céline keeps bubbling up
to the top of the catwalk. You know when something’s a game-changer
when you want to eradicate your closet and restock it with a new vision
like this. From the catwalk to the Stores.
David Rubenstein, vice president and general merchandise manager, Jeffrey New York:
“My single-favorite collection is Céline. The catwalk show had an
incredible energy. The collection is constantly evolving, and Phoebe is
always pushing the needle forward. It all just seemed like what women
will want to wear.” French fashion impacts the industry as usual
especially on the catwalk.
Tancrède de Lalun, merchandise manager for men’s and women’s wear, Printemps: French fashion, “Céline straight from the catwalk. After revolutionizing fashion four years ago, Phoebe Philo
needed to renew herself and she did it with brio and talent. She opens
up a world of possibilities for all the brands over the next few
seasons, and what I like is that she was able to take a risk and
reinvent herself exactly when she needed to.” French fashion is an
interesting factor in all of this.

PARIS FASHION WEEK
starts today – an epic nine-day-long marathon that ends next Wednesday.
It’s the mother of all fashion capitals, the home of fashion’s biggest
and oldest names, from Chanel and Dior to Balenciaga and Givenchy.
If energy levels are beginning to wane among the fashion press, who
have now been on the move for three weeks, Paris is always certain to
inject a new verve. –> Instagrams of #PFW 
The
action gets underway today with Anthony Vaccarello – who is rumoured to
be Versus’s next collaborator. His sexy, skin-tight dresses are a given
though, and we look forward to seeing them worn by his model muse, Karlie Kloss,
who is a regular on his catwalk. Wednesday’s big show is Rochas and all
eyes will be on creative director Marco Zanini, who is rumoured to be
leaving for recently-revived fashion house Schiaparelli.

NYFW: Narciso Rodriguez Spring 2014
©ourtesy of Jessica Bumpus@vogue.co.uk
IT’S not often, actually, that fashion gives rise to new items. We’ve seen it, done it, got the T-shirt all before and we’re more concerned with rifling through the drawers of the past than we are setting a new agenda when it comes to the technicalities. Narciso Rodriguez has other ideas and this evening introduced us to the “half skirt”, a skirt and shorts hybrid that is just as suggestive as the mini but has a little more practicality about it. Nice. Elsewhere among the collection and the designer mostly stuck to square cuts, bandeau necklines and flat-looking shapes. From afar it looked masculine, androgynous but close-up there were slithers of shine and layers of pretty lace to imbue a sense of femininity.

Neck cuff, is the new trend?
©ourtesy of
First we had the statement necklaces and those have been around for a
long time, there are still a bit around but not like in the beginning.
But of course they couldn’t be around for a long time, in the fashion
industry a thing ( clothes, accessories) will only be able to be around
for a short period of time before it gets replaced by something else.
And that is what is happening now with the statement necklace and the
neck cuff… well sort of. Is the neck cuff going to replace the statement
necklace?
The neck cuffs have been spotted in a lot of collections of top designers like Michael Kors and Céline.

Belgian designer Raf Simons fully embraced the man skirt for his Spring/Summer 2013 presentation at Paris Fashion Week, pulling inspiration from womenswear collections to create masculine versions of dresses and oversized t-shirts. Pop art was also a big influence, with boxy androgynous silhouettes, clean lines, and lots of bold blocks of pink, green, and blue. Vintage-style prints reminiscent of 1920s graphic design also featured on many of the pieces, with depictions of male athletes accompanied by text such as “artificially flavored”.

This fashion week show hosted lots of colors, interesting patterns and some funny looking heels. And the best of all were the too big sized hats made out of fur or other materials. It is worth to mention that the coats that are presented will be the most hottest pieces for winter.

Philip Treacy Hats Top Off Paris Couture Week
©ourtesy of Nicolle Keogh Fashion Editor | JustLuxe.com 
Philip Treacy is known as one of the most extraordinary designers of luxury hats for his eccentric style. Treacy who is Best known for his ornate hats that have topped the famous heads of Sarah Jessica Parker, Lady Gaga, and Princess Beatrice of York at 2011’s Royal Wedding (along with 39 other attendees) the latest pieces for Philip Treacy to add to his repertoire were components of Didit Hediprasetyo’s Fall 2012 Couture Treacy show.
The Philip Treacy vibrancy of the orchid in the purple floral hat is eye-catching, but also complements the plum color of Hediprasetyo’s dress. At a closer glance, you can see how much detail went into making this hat, including the small jewels that are dusted onto the delicate petals of the orchid. Floral was a prominent theme in the Treacy show, but other Treacy designs reflected his signature eccentric work. The black contoured ribbon hat reminds me of the shape and texture of Princess Beatrice of York’s hat at the Royal Wedding last spring. The whimsical shape of the material in this hat resemble Treacy signature style. For more information, visit PhilipTreacy.co.uk.

Fashion Illustration: 1930′s Ads
Special Vintage Drawings

Fashion illustration from the 1930′s enjoyed by many of our readers have an affinity to for artists like L. Fellows, Leslie Saalburg, and
J. C. Leyendecker. While we mostly discuss editorial pictures, I want
to focus on fashion illustration from magazine ads today. Back in the
day, it was normal for a publisher to design an ads
together with the advertiser. Though as you can imagine, a magazine
publisher could only employ a limited number of fashion illustrators to
serve all their clients. In order to demonstrate each brand’s unique
image, the fashion illustration were often very different from each
other.
