#PFW 28.09.2013

I am so drained from running around to 3 different shows, standing in the sun all day, then babysitting for 5 hours - but flipping through the hundreds of shots I got today I managed to find a few gems. Being outside the entrances to these amazing events is just a constant flow of amazing fashion.

Alexander Wang Laser Cuts His Own Name

Alexander Wang has done some magnificent work with laser cutting materials in the past, but this time he took it to a different level: self branding. I am not typically a huge brand-name-wearing kind of person, but to me, this is brilliant. Yesterday, numerous models strutted the catwalk sporting laser cut Alexander Wang pieces, and it caught everyone's attention on social media. It is clean, sleek and I am certain everyone is going to want a dress, jacket, shirt or belt with Alexander Wang's name laser cut right into it for Spring 2014.

Hashtag New York Fashion Week

Beauty shot from WWD

I don't know if it is the mere fact that #NYFW has taken over the twitter world, or if it is the constant live streaming of shows, but New York Fashion Week got me good this year. I am obsessed with constantly checking the shows, leading me to find even more designers I did not know existed. It is killing me that I will be occupied for a good 8 hours tomorrow for a photo shoot - meaning I cannot just sit with my macbook and love life. Today was an interesting day in the world of fashion for me as one of my favorites - Prabal Gurung - took to the runway and stole my heart, yet again. Military style, neutral palette, sex appeal and I was sold. Chunky knits, leather accents and killer shoes were all an added bonus. Then I get told that one of my classmates here in Toronto flew down to NY to walk in Alexander Wang's show (check out last photo), so excited for her! New York Fashion Week has just begun already I am hooked. xxx

Book Lovers Ball: Feathers!

Feather dress from the show.

Over the last two years I have had the pleasure of working backstage at many Toronto fashion events, typically getting to touch and work with amazing designer pieces! Lucian Matis is one of those brilliant designers that I have come to appreciate and love through this wonderful job. The Ryerson graduate, who was born in Romania, has definitely paved a path for himself in the fashion industry. His most recent collection (Spring 2013) was showcased as part of the Book Lovers Ball tonight, and it consisted of a few feathered dresses (all hand stitched) and some perfectly cut out dresses. With both a couture label and a ready to wear line, the designer keeps himself busy with designer new collections and new fabric. The femininity always pushes through in his garments and it is absolutely charming how he credits his own mother for teaching him how to sew. One of my favorite local designers right now, and I look forward to seeing what he brings to the runway for WMCFW. xxx
