Loreal Fashion Week - Paul Hardy

Loreal Fashion Week in Toronto finished with some of the best shows and top designers. Paul Hardy, a Canadian designer who has been compared to Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs, showed his fall collection with a palette of nudes, blacks and greys.



Pants are out this season by looking at Hardy's collection. The models wore nude underwear with nylons and big clunky men's dress shoes which looked very clown like on the twiggy legs. If it wasn't the underwear showing it was a nude bustier. Choose what you want to expose, the underwear or the bra.
