Looking through The Closet

When going through the closet as an individual your task is to let your mind flow and allow yourself to pick and choose pieces to complete an outfit. That is exactly what we did this past Friday night at The Designer’s Closet. As you all may have read on our previous post, the show consisted of young Toronto designers showcasing their summer 2010 collections. The collections ranged from men’s casual wear to women’s casual and formal wear. However, as we all know an outfit is not complete without an accessory to compliment it. Milk and Canvas and Material World, are two teams of inspiring designers who focus their talent on creating unique and edgy accessories. From cat eye sunglasses, to outrageous fruit inspired earrings these two design teams are raising the bar when it comes to accessories. We also had a chance to view collections that were inspired by 50’s such as Shona Peniston. Her collection included red high-waisted trousers, printed rompers, metallic tube dresses and my favourite a floral print scarf which acted as a tube top. To turn things over and focus on casual men’s wear we had 16-year old J.B who by far had the collection which was idolized for day to day wear. The fabric was light and the colours were subtle. Draw strings and crotch hemlines were evident in most of his trousers and shorts. His line is made for that classy but casual, confident but humble man! And last but not least was Beaucoup. Similar to their group, their line focuses on men and women’s apparel. Bold colours and graphic prints such as flowers and polka dots were incorporated into their line. I loved the flashy floral print dress with the shoulder pads giving the dress an 80’s feel. Overall the line reflects the confident, extrovert who encompasses style and pizzazz everywhere they go!
This was a great night filled with amazing people, music and of course fashion! We wish all of the designers best of luck in their future endeavours!

Lovely Gaby with the team of Beaucoup!
