Last night, Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong of Greta Constantine held court (along with many stylish subjects) in the lush backyard of a beautiful Rosedale home in Toronto to reveal the second collection in their new accessibly priced womenswear line, Primer. As could be expected, all of Greta’s signature fingerprints appeared in the line of richly hued draped-cotton and jersey dresses that were displayed on prettily posed mannequins positioned poolside. While the collection won’t be available for a few months, one thing you can look forward to are totally manageable price points, starting at less than $100 and ranging no higher than $500.

Nicole Richie hit Toronto to celebrate with TNT. We’ve got a Q&A!

Last night, the stylish set filled the new TNT flagship at Toronto’s Hazelton Lanes in Yorkville to celebrate the store’s 20th anniversary as well as to peep the brand new multileveled shopping emporium, which has expanded to 18,000 square feet. That means even more space for ultra-covetable merch from Helmut Lang, The Row, Theyskens’ Theory and more! Across the sprawling space, homegrown likes of Greta Constantine, Payne, and Camille and Laurence were all on hand to debut their newest collections and raise a glass (and a pretty penny) in honour of the Toronto Fashion Incubator.
While the soirée seemed to attract just about every designer, socialite and fashion personality around⎯even Dan Levy came home from LaLa land to make an appearance!⎯the real star of the night was deb-cum-designer Nicole Richie, who hit the town to promote her lines House of Harlow and Winter Kate. We snatched her away from legions of adoring fans to chat about all things style and asked if a Canadian collab could be in the works!

TFW diary: Greta Constantine’s nomadic fall outing

Photography by Jenna Marie Wakani
There’s nothing like a Greta Constantine show to bring out the fashion pack (and the mystery-pack, including a veiled front-rower?) In a departure from their standard fare, designers Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong debuted a wrapped, layered and shrouded nomad-like collection that looked like it came from Japan via Russia. The blinding spotlight that followed each model’s walk illuminated exaggerated sleeves, sumptuous brocades, obi belts, luxe fur trims and velvets as sinuous as their signature jersey that decorated dresses, pants, coats and capes galore. Their louche urbanites were cocooned in shades of crimson, charcoal, cobalt and eggplant in separates ranging from fiery wide-legged pants to prairie princess tiered skirts. The jersey dresses that are Greta Constantine’s bread and butter were winterized with floor sweeping coats for a dramatic ending amid blasts of powdery white flakes coughed out by the snow machine.
