Ashley
Stellar and Jodi Posh take on Fashion Week
We arrive on the scene at L’Oreal Fashion Week on Day
2, Tuesday March 14th. Dressed to kill [of course], Jodi in
black-and-white striped tights with a chic black trench; Ashley
in black bouffant lace skirt, cropped black tights, and military
jacket. Needless to say- we were ready to hit the floor and
use our Journalista skills to the max!
This season Fashion Week is held at the Liberty Grand- which
is a change from last spring at Muzik. As we enter the building,
we're greeted at the grand foyer, which leads to many different
rooms. There are various displays in each room. Silent auctions
of gorgeous garments fill the majority of the rooms- each
piece displayed beautifully.
We both agree that last year’s setting in the Muzik
building was much more intimate. There was a better vibe lingering
as the fashionistas sipped their cocktails together in one
large room.
But now, the media tent calls our name, and so does the delicious
dinner. We, the dazzling duo, make our way inside. The place
is full- as the Izzy Camilleri show just let out- and the
press is evidently starved. We manage to score some room on
the sofa.
8:00 Joeffer Coac
We head inside, losing track of time. We find seats in the
back and wait for the show to begin. This show is important
as Joeffer Coac is one of Toronto’s most important designers.
Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for fabulousness! Sultry ruby
red, charcoal and deep navy are the colours of the evening.
Tailored jackets with flattering diagonal patterns paired
with wide leg, flared woven trousers. Gothic inspired layered
laced tops, and elegant velour dresses were combined with
the common stocking arm bands and tights [trend alert!].
We were quite impressed with this line. The only thing we
didn’t particularly like were the single-strapped dresses!
Not fans of this look.
Overall, the collection is a bit darker, with luxurious textures
and deep shades - glamour, glamour, glamour!
Toronto Fashion Week gets more exciting as the seasons progress.
Each year, it features more Canadian talent, and this year
was no exception. We're going to keep watching our reputation
for great design, flourish and grow. Everyone should be attending
these shows! For more Fashion Week adventure, check out Sonja's
journal. We, Jodi Posh and Ashley Stellar are off to discover
more fashion glitz and glamour. We'll keep you posted, fashionistas!
