Last week I had the opportunity to fly to Toronto to attend the She's Connected Conference. The conference also coincided with LG Fashion Week. So I went online to get accredited as media. I was only able to attend a few shows, but the media pass allowed me access to the media lounge and access to [...]
What I enjoyed about Lara Presber’s Spring/Summer 2011 line was the classic lines with unique details. These are the type of clothes I could see in my closet for years. These were beautiful classic dresses that complemented a grown woman’s curves. And details like hand-made porcelain buttons. Lara is an architect who started designing her [...]
On the 2nd Day of Eco Fashion Week I attended the seminar on Life cycles in Fashion and then all the fashion shows. The shows were fantastic. I've picked a selection of some of my favourite outfits below. I'll do some more in-depth reviews on some of the lines at a later date. And I need more time to absorb the [...]
Today was the first day of the first ever Vancouver Eco Fashion Week. I attended the press conference (which included an interesting intro from Ray Civello from Aveda) and the first presentation by Carly Stojsic, from Worth Global Style Network (a global trend forecaster). I received my media pass for the week and a lovely SIGG Vancouver Eco Fashion [...]
Last week I caught a twitter stream about a Surprise Fashion Show at the Opus. So I jumped right on it even though I already had plans for that night. For weeks I had been trying to coordinate a night to meet the esteemed @erin_braincandy and that was the night. I asked if she minded changing [...]
Last week Oakridge Shopping Centre (in Vancouver) and Flare Magazine hosted its Annual Style Night event to present the Hottest Trends for Spring/Summer 2010. Since I look for any excuse to get out and dress like an adult (and wear my feathered headband) I rushed to buy myself a ticket (proceeds supported Dress for Success). Back [...]
Now THIS was a fashion show. Over 700 Vancouver fashionistas lined up to get into the cool loft gallery, for this invitation only show. Front seats were reserved for VIP customers with everyone else squeezing into the generally seating. We all became good friends as we shifted to and fro to see as much of [...]
So I won another set of tickets for Vancouver Fashion Week. This time I won two tickets to the Sunday show. So I invited my twitter mom friend Alexis (@alexishinde) to come with me. Sunday afternoon was the kids fashion show and she is owner and designer for a new boys clothing line called Chill [...]
Friday night I got myself all dressed up and headed out to Vancouver Fashion Week. It was interesting to watch the "machine" live. And I learnt NOT to go to one of these events alone. Not that people weren't nice. But you really need a friend that you can poke and say OMG! or WTF! [...]
Vancouver Fashion Week continued... Then came Red Jade. Another eco conscious label. They use Eco-Luxurious fabric such as hemp, organic cotton, merino wool, silk and linen. This line was all about grey & black this fall. It looked great partnered with some strong statement jewelry. I LOVED the wooden chunky chain necklaces. I emailed the designer and the jewelry [...]
