Toronto Fashion Jobs – Nautical Living

Sunday, April 14th, 2013

There is something about those horizontal stripes that give a feeling of ease, comfort and nautical living. Whether you’re getting ready to head out into the open sea or not, don’t be afraid to add some stripes to your wardrobe. Try drawing some inspiration from the slew of designers that used this pattern in their Spring/Summer 2013 runway shows including Dolce & Gabbana, Moschino and Ralph Lauren, just to name a few. Though not all the pieces they debuted fall into the nautical category, one thing is clear, this season, stripes have made a huge come back and they’re here to stay.

Toronto Fashion Jobs – Neo-Victorian

Monday, February 25th, 2013

Splashes of Victorian style have been making a comeback in every realm of the fashion world; from ornate jewellery, to lace boots and high necked dresses. Girly, dainty, and covered, it’s not necessarily the easiest trend to wear. The key is to pair the trend with modern pieces so you don’t look like an extra from the set of a period-drama. For example, pair a ruffled Victorian blouse with a pair of bleach dyed cutoffs and Lita boots. Use a classic stylist’s trick – the messy one pocket tuck – to achieve an even greater balance between old and new. For dresses, accessorizes with statement pieces like fedoras or belts to take away from the stuffy feeling of a floor length, high-necked dress. Victorian-inspired jewellery is a great way to inspire a refined feel to any outfit; pearls and tarnished silver are staples of this beloved trend.

Calgary Fashion Jobs – If It’s Not Baroque…

Monday, September 17th, 2012

Revive the renaissance era this season with brocade motifs, sumptuous fabrics, rich tapestries, and ornate embellishments for fall’s most dramatic and prominent trend that has designers and fashionistas alike going for baroque. Elaborate trimmings and gilded accents add to the opulence and lavishness of this beautiful baroque period trend that will have you donning 17th century inspired duds with old world flair. Elevate this European charm with palatial adornments like gleaming jewels, ornamented filigrees and embossed prints for ultimate decadence a la Dolce & Gabbana. Luxe metallics offer a royal high polish shine to everyday looks if you’re not up to this over the top and excessive trend. To achieve a style status that is of grandeur quality, don intricate beaded pieces and opulent embroidery with plush velvets or silk satins for a copious contrast. For a modern twist on this old world look pair extravagant trimmings with lustrous leather for a sleek and sexy contemporary look. Step aside minimalism, fall’s beautiful baroque is reigning supreme this season.
