Toronto: David Dixon Spring 2010

Titled “Hanging Gardens of Babylon,” David Dixon‘s Spring 2010 show was filled with Middle-Eastern influences like the metal-fringed maxi skirt, the Valentino-esque one-shouldered gowns and the stacks of chunky silver bracelets (courtesy of jewellery designer Rita Tesolin). But strip away these scene-stealing directional looks and you’ll find a strong, cohesive collection of elegant and (gasp!) wearable pieces that will take you from the office (in the charcoal cap sleeve pleated frock) to cocktails (in the purple laser cut chiffon blouson dress) without any unnecessary drama. FASHION‘s final thought: Dixon’s dresses are recession proof.
