Recap: Toronto Fashion Week

Best of Toronto Fashion Week Fall 2010

Lucian Matis always brings a sense of magic to the runway with imaginative embellishments and dramatic shapes. Matis' fall collection was inspired by his Romanian heritage yet embraced elegance and glamour. All the pieces were sublime - full of glitz, leather and lace with a folk twist.Andy The-Anh continues to show incredible workmanship with his Fall 2010 collection. By using mostly dark colours (except for a hint of his signature blue) and well-fitted garments, The-Anh created a strong modern woman look enhanced with layers, pleats and draping.
Izzy Camilleri is back and better than ever! Alongside Adrian Mainella, the pair debut their IZMA collaboration and kicked off Fashion Week. The collection showcased innovative fur pieces and leather garments amidst a neutral palate. Fur is back and IZMA revved it up with plenty of fabulous showstoppers!Dimitri Chris is Canada's resident high-fashion men's wear designer. His "Masters of the Foxhounds" collection mixed well-tailored jackets, bow ties and suits with knit wear, hunting caps and even a pair of cropped sweat pants. The variety of leather boots and shoes were outstanding and made the whole look come together.Jules Power made a cannonball of a splash with her debut at Toronto Fashion Week. The feat of her collection comes in the form of the "it" slouch sweat pants - a must-have of every Toronto girl. Paired with tailored jackets, furs, plaids, floral and other fun prints, Power's collection provides choices ranging from sophisticated lady to casual urbanite.
