News broke yesterday that Montreal designer Andy Thê-Anh‘s four-year-old label is no more. Financial backers CATSIMA pulled the plug on the line, closing the Yorkville boutique in Toronto and turning the Cours Mont Royal location into liquidation centre for the remaining $2.8 million in stock. The sale starts today and is said to be continuing for several months. (The Montreal Mountain Street location closed earlier this fall.) Twenty people will lose their jobs. Read more »

Last night, a big crowd came out to support Montreal designer Andy Thê-Anh–the front row was filled with all the clients who will pick up pieces from his tango-inspired fall collection at one of Thê-Anh’s two Toronto boutiques. Patricia Gajo caught the collection when it walked in Montreal in February. Read the review here and see the full collection after the jump.

ANDY THÊ-ANH Fall 2010

Andy Thê-Anh’s “cocktail” show last summer at the Marché Bonsecours was a crowded, on-tip toes affair (thank goodness for platform boots). So his recent presentation for Fall 2010 in the airy atrium space of Excentris was a breath of fresh air. An intimate gathering of thirty or so of Montreal’s fashion editors and bloggers loaded up on appies from next door’s Café Méliès and giggled like little girls after a round (or two) of white wine spritzers.

A hometown prelude to the big production in Toronto at the very end of March, the Montreal-born Vietnamese designer greeted guests as they arrived and then proceeded to emcee his own show while slick-haired models strut out one by one. Read more »

Toronto’s LG Fashion Week has found a new home. After living in tents at Nathan Phillips Square (a few short blocks from our office), then last season at King and Shaw, the show is moving to an indoor spot with 40-foot ceilings in nearby Liberty Village. FDCC prez Robin Kay told The Toronto Star that the runway will be inside the building, which will also have a tent erected outside.

The FDCC has also released a roughed in schedule with a start date of Sunday, March 28. (The shows close Thursday, April 1.) Read more »

Toronto: Andy Thê-Anh Spring 2010

This season, Andy Thê-Anh eschewed the runway for a more intimate, presentation-style show.  We slipped past the doormen into a dramatic room featuring wall-to-wall zebra patterned carpeting, oversized chandeliers dripping with crystals and benches upholstered in black faux fur.  The low-lying platform gave way to a parade of sophisticated day wear: stiff, silky, zippered dresses, slim tailored pants and tucked and pleated jackets.  Crisp white was a clever counterpoint to a palette of bright cerulean blue and a paler sky blue.  The quintet of flowing, champagne evening gowns that closed the show are sure to delight Thê-Anh’s loyal following.

Check out the gallery after the jump.

The Marché Bonsecours overflowed with Montreal’s fashion crowd who teetered in high-heels over St-Paul Street’s cobblestones to take in three days of Montreal Fashion Week.

On day one, Andy Thê-Anh’s “cocktail” presentation unraveled more like a schmoozy happy hour social than a spring and summer preview. Latecomers tiptoed to catch glimpses of the central stage that doubled as a mini-runway while P&G Beauty reps (in coral mini-togas) served skincare samples on trays like canapés. Known for his sophistication and architectural details, Thê-Anh’s show sparkled (even from a distance) with various shades and intensities of blue paired with neutral white and black.
