It’s hard to think of a designer right now who’s more white-hot that Mark Fast. So the anticipation for his upcoming diffusion line, Faster, is–safe to say–pretty high. The London-based Canadian’s intricate knit dresses usually run in the thousands of dollars, but the new line will come in at a more accessible price-point. The leggings, which will be available at Holt Renfrew in March, ring in at $225. There’s also a skin-tight peek-a-boo dress that we would wear in some alternate universe where we weren’t still eating holiday cookies and a top with sports-bra shaping that would be great under a low-cut sweater. The full line, which the designer told WWD was inspired the tights he created for the swag bags at his London Fashion Week spring show, is available through Browns (brownsfashion.com) in the UK, which delivers to Canada.
