“I always think of Gaultier in terms of the colours he used early on, relishing his lurid shades of green, yellow and brown. I’ve enjoyed his references to French culture—pulpy policiers or Yvette Horner, the accordéoniste–and always thought of his palette as a tribute to the tobacco-stained walls of Paris dives.” —David Livingstone, Writer

The morning begins with heart shaped doughnuts and an officer’s club feeling at Moschino. There are heaps of gold trimmed masculine naval uniforms, black and white tux inspired trouser suits and a dash of sweet flouncy dresses thrown in as a feminine counterpoint by way of ruffles, bustles, floral prints and peplums.
Why Coco Rocha walks the runway with a chicken atop her head, I’ll never know, but one things for sure: she certainly knows how to put the chic into chicken!

When Todd Lynn moved to London in 1998, we doubt the Smith Falls native guessed that he’d one day be atop the British fashion scene. Already beloved by the likes of Rihanna, Mick Jagger, Courtney Love and fellow Canuck Coco Rocha, the tailor with a hard rock edge was recognized by the British Fashion Council at last night’s Fashion Forward awards. Along with Meadham Kirchoff and Peter Pilotto, Lynn recieved a two season-long sponsorship focusing on financial and business planning.
Eager to hear how he’s been taking it all in, we quizzed Lynn on the award, the future, and of course, how it feels to be repping Canada across the pond!
How does it feel to be recognized for your talent in such a big way?
I’m thrilled to have been selected as one of the designers to receive the BFC’s Fashion Forward Award. It’s great to have my hard work recognized by a panel of some of the most influential fashion people in London.
What is the Fashion Forward fund going to help you do for the next year?
The money will go towards the expenses of the show, but I am especially looking forward to working with the teams at the BFC and [Coutts & Co] on the mentoring side of the award which will provide invaluable business insight and information to help my business grow.
How does it feel to be the only Canadian in the mix?
Yay Canada! I’m so proud to be part of the group of Canadians who are such a big part of London Fashion Week. It’s great that we can show the fashion talent that Canada can produce and that we can hopefully give a little inspiration to those fashion students slaving away in Canada, in showing that they can make it…. If they work very very very hard.
Any way you’d give us a tiny little tidbit into what fall looks like? We can’t wait!
I never give anything away before the show…. Watch this space…

“There is so much that is put into [a photo]: hair, make-up, Photoshop. Hours are put into that one photo. I wish women and girls alike didn’t read into it. It is art. It can be poked and prodded. It’s not exactly what you see,” Coco Rocha told the National Post. [National Post] Read more »

Coco Rocha swept into Toronto Fashion Week last night to give the opening remarks. (She’d already graced the Greta Constantine runway the previous week.) Though she later appeared–new husband James Conran in tow–in a green Greta frock, earlier in the evening she sported one of the season’s biggest trends–the Chewbacca-esque furry jacket–and paired it with cigarette jeans, black stiletto boots and a graphic tee.
See the full look after the jump.

Coco Rocha walks in the Greta Constantine Spring 2011 show. Photography by Jenna Marie Wakani
The scene outside 161 Spadina Ave. on Friday evening for the Greta Constantine Spring 2011 show conjured up memories of the fashion mob outside the Armoury at the Marc Jacobs show. But unlike MJ, who learned his lesson about late start times, GC designers Stephen Wong and Kirk Pickersgill kept the mass of eds, buyers and bloggers, crammed into a small room for an hour (for a somewhat impromptu pre-show cocktail party) before being seated (finally!) for the show.
Coco Rocha opened the show and word has it that she personally contacted Wong and Pickersgill about making an appearance. (Note: You know you’ve made it when…)
The collection was comprised of a few leading colour players: earthy shades like rusty red and loden green, and lighter hues such as blush and a lovely dove grey. Lots of signature twists, knots, and pleats came out to play, as did one fabulous ’70s-inspired one-shouldered one-piece. (Bianca Jagger would approve.) The slick haven’t-washed-my-hair-in-a-week tresses got lost in translation–no wonder Miss Coco opted for a sleek side-parted low knot. Stand-outs included the flowing white goddess gowns cinched with wide blush toned belts, the custom treasure chest–inspired wedges, the LBD with the sexy cape back and the line-up of blush-toned gowns that closed the show. Slipping into one of these dreamy confections would be pure heaven.
