Greta Constantine Fall 2012

Designing with the Greta Constantine woman in mind, Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong added a harder edge to their latest (almost all black) collection. Save for a few white, red, teal and amazingly emerald green frocks, the collection consisted of lots of black wool blend structured power dresses, a few stand out chunky knits bibs, snoods and a cropped sweater, as well as to-die-for metallic harnesses, all perfect for an upcoming starlet like Rooney Mara.

PAINT IT BLANC

Sleek and bright, this white fringe necklace has us drooling

When Toronto-based designer Eliza Kozurno sends us her Spring 2012 lookbook, we open it immediately. Fans of Kozurno’s since the inception of her line, each season we lust after her mixes of leather, metals and beading, and when we spotted this fringed number ($75) in her latest collection we couldn’t help but share it with you—and make a mad dash for her closest stockist. Hope to beat you there!!

Eliza Kozurno necklace, $150. See website for where to buy.

THE LOYAL TREATMENT

Lovas’ Wesley Badanjak brings a new look to Basch for Fall 2012

Opening the unofficial Toronto Fashion Week with a sartorial double header, Wesley Badanjak kept things in tune with the longstanding Lovas customer for his latest Fall 2012 collection. Inspired by Margaret Atwood’s Brenda in the futuristic The Year of the Flood, Badanjak sent strictly coiffed ladies down the runway in a grey-to-black-and-back ombré tweed skirt suit, a feather-print crepe dress with a peplum, a cobweb knit floor-length dress and a feather-bodiced, micro-sequined tiered gown.

The womanly show, with pops of cerulean blue, red and python print, was clearly where Badanjak took inspire for the newly re-launched Basch label, previously designed by Brandon Dwyer. Read More…
