Mackage

All the bigwigs, including the Fashion Channel's Glen Baxter and America's Next Top Model judge Noel Marin, packed the Liberty Grand showroom to see Canadian outerwear at its most fashionable.

Mackage designers Elisa Dahan and Eran Elfassy used the mod look as inspiration for their super sexy line of coats in sophisticated tweed, wool and leather with oversize collars, puff sleeves, pleated skirts and pin-tuck detailing. Bobbed beauties modelled a more voluminous collection than previous, certain to be sought out by celebrity clients including Britany Spears, Nicky Hilton and Anne Heche.

Most people don't get excited over outerwear and sadly, many Canadians don't take winter coats serious enough - surprising, consider we spend five months bundled and burdened by winter wear. Fortunately, Mackage is successful with American shoppers and is available in many U.S. high-end department stores.
