Halifax: Old favourites come out for Atlantic Fashion Week’s designer showcase

Nadine LaRoche — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 18:00:30 +0000

Still exhausted from last Thursday’s Emerging Designer Showcase, an epic evening of 15 collections, a glance at my sparse program the following evening reminded me of the even-then thin second showcase we experienced last season at Atlantic Fashion Week. With some of our hard-hitters (namely Katrina Tuttle and Deux Fm) nabbing spots in, ahem, shall [...]

Halifax: Local label Deux Fm heads to New York Fashion Week

Satisfying about a handful of pipedreams all at once, Nova Scotia designer Anna Gilkerson (deuxfm.com) has swapped the province’s south shore for the Big Apple this week, prepping for her New York Fashion Week debut at the GreenShows today. The only event of its kind on the official NYFW calendar, the GreenShows (thegreenshows.com), running from [...]

Halifax: Fresh faces and thriving favourites at Atlantic Fashion Week

Nadine LaRoche — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:11:05 +0000

On the heels of Wednesday’s jam-packed design-fest, the second night of Atlantic Fashion Week felt noticeably thin with only five collections. Regular show-stoppers Deux fm, Turbine and Katrina Tuttle (read about her show at LG Fashion Week) weren’t on the evening’s agenda—having other projects, from solo showcases to newborns, to tend to—and I darn well [...]

Halifax: Deux Fm’s backyard bikini

Nadine LaRoche — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:27:29 +0000

This is a bikini you can’t help but feel good in—and it has nothing to do with how much time you may or may not have spent at the gym this spring. Made right here in Nova Scotia, the Deux Fm Mystique ($82, at Love, Me Boutique, 1539 Birmingham St., 902-444-3668 and at select boutiques [...]

Halifax: East Coast designers take the runway in Montreal

Nadine LaRoche — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 12:00:05 +0000

Eating up the East Coast love is all well and good for our Atlantic Canadian designers, but who can say no to a little national exposure? Not Kim Munson, Anna Gilkerson and the Sunsets on the Eastside trio, who will have their designs walked down the runway at Montreal’s Festival Mode & Design (June 17 [...]

Halifax: More from Atlantic Fashion Week

Nadine LaRoche — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:10:31 +0000

Ever run into a friend’s younger sibling, after years, and spend the whole time grinning at how much they’ve grown and who they’ve become? That was the second Atlantic Fashion Week designer showcase for me—an evening of cheek pinches and head pats, or at least the seated, acceptable equivalent: much-deserved applause. The evening launched with [...]

Toronto: Luxuriously green

Fashion isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of bamboo. Pandas love it, but more and more designers do too. With the sheen and softness of luxurious silk, bamboo fabrics feel like a million bucks (only better–it’s washable!). Bamboo fibers are wrinkle-resistant, so they keep sharp after a long day.
