Toronto Fashion Week: Pink Tartan’s Electric Ladyland
Despite the grey fall skies, it seems things are looking bright for Pink Tartan. With a flagship store (their first!) set to open this November and a Spring 2011 collection filled with electric hues (hot pink! acid yellow! royal blue!), PT is living the life in Technicolor. Known for her ladylike looks, designer Kimberley Newport-Mimran chose to take a different direction this season–one leading back to the ’70s with a Bianca Jagger–inspired lineup of wide-leg trousers, tux-bf jacket hybrids, metallic sheen blazers and sexy sheer billowy blouses. While the horse bit accents felt a little been-there-bought-that-at-Gucci, the diaphanous tiered prairie skirts felt as fresh as a summer’s day. The item to update your spring wardrobe: the sleeveless military trench coat.
