Lucian Matis Puts The Magic Into Fashion

One of our favorite collections for Toronto Fashion Week is the Lucian Matis fall collection. Matis, who is mostly known for being the runner up on Project Runway Canada, seems to be able to compete with the big wigs of the fashion industry. The collection has a wearable quality while at the same time, looks avant garde.





Lucian Matis uses gold, grey and black in this collection, with lots of pattern, lace and embellishemnt. The craftmanship and structure of these garments is amazing. Matis creates full hips and shoulders, without being bluky.





The inspiration for the collection goes back to Matis' Romanian heritage, with the textiled patterns and high neklines. Loving the incorporation of the silk leggings and elbow length gloves to create sleek lines amongst all the busy patterns and details.





We would love to get our hands one of these dresses!

David Dixon Searches For The Exotic

The David Dixon show at Toronto Fashion Week started out with some exotic music and a story of a woman searching for the beauty and femininity from far away lands like the gardens in Babylon. With this inspiring story we failed to see some awe inspiring clothes, but the collection was pretty.



The color scheme was black, white, bright blue, and a glam yellow (oh...and a few glittery silver pieces). The models walked in very high heels, in strapless dresses, and short blazers with pencil skirts.









Waiting for the show was the worst part, Fashion Week in Toronto was poorly organized this year, and people were actually pushing to get into the show! Not exactly a classy event. It was so hot in there that between David Dixon and Barbie by David Dixon, they gave out free beer....that made everything better!
