Last night’s Mackage show took us through the looking glass. Co-creative directors Elisa Dahan and Eran Elfassy “found inspiration in the reflection of light off of mirrored surfaces.” The duo decked out their runway in a shiny gold coating and put models against the dramatic backdrop of a huge mirror. Within the collection, handbags, belts, sleeves and shorts were all given a polished sheen.

The show was all about the gams, as models wore leather wrap skirts, running shorts and organza minis in poppy, black, white and sand. Every manner of biker jacket (short-sleeved, loose-fitted, colourful, et cetera) was paired perfectly with sheer tops and crops, while a sheer white mini worn over matching undies was right on trend.

Best known for designing the killer winter coats that have been seen on the likes of Gwyneth, Halle and a couple of Kardashians, Mackage recently introduced a new handbag collection that had tongues wagging in the front row. Sleek totes, clutches and satchels all come with a signature arrow closure that’s sure to become as recognizable as the brand’s extra-large zippers.

The Montreal-based brand closed the show with a remix of Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home.” To that, we Torontonians say, come back soon!
