Canadian fashion mainstays, Judy Cornish and Joyce Gunhouse, presented their fall 2011 collection to a packed house of steadfast fans at day three of LG Fashion Week. Pleasantly surprising us from the get-go, bits of bold neon colour were introduced into what is usually a fairly muted collection, with a series of gorgeous ethnic-geometric silk prints. Continuing the cavalcade of colour, abstract florals a la Dries Van Noten took their turn on the catwalk, wowing us in vibrant cobalt turquoise and more subtle watercolour jacquards. While we could take or leave the series of black and charcoal textile separates, a starry-skied metallic bathrobe coat (the sleeveless version too) is tops on our can’t-live-without list.
