If there is one thing that gave me cause for celebration at Toronto Fashion Week it is the return of smoky eyes and bed head.  The ‘Whoops, I went to bed last night without taking off my eye makeup and there is no time to shower’ look is the only one I have ever been able to pull off successfully.

I had a chance to chat backstage at Fashion Week with L’Oréal Paris official hair artist Eric Del Monaco and official makeup artist Eddie Maleterre, and get the inside scoop on what they were creating for the collections.

DEUX FM Fall 2009

DEUX FM Fall 2009

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.

Last Wednesday’s Joe Fresh Style runway show was full of crisp, clean sportif—complete with quilted skirts,  sheer mesh and a knit jumpsuit. As always, Fashion Week goers clamoured to see what Joe had on tap for fall and which big Canadian faces would come down the runway. (This season: Irina Lazareanu, Amanda Laine and Taryn Davidson). FASHION talked to designer Joe Mimran post-show about the collection, speed skating style and that cozy little onesie.

I enjoyed the show last night. It looked very warm. 

“It was nice and cozy.”

We’ll start with the inspiration. What was your starting place for the collection?
“It really started with this whole idea of skating and the first thing I drew out was the down skirt. I wanted to have it in very teacup shape because it’s got the bones in it and it really does give this whole sense of skating. And then from there it kind of got into speed skating and the notion of our Canadian speed skaters and that’s where the cat suit came from. Read more »

We all have fond memories of coloured denim, right? Evan Biddell hopes so. Of all the rock-steady looks he rolled down the runway–where ”styling” equalled ”more studded leather!” and the soundtrack was a deafening jam–what stood out most were streetwise separates in plum, teal and chartreuse.
