Toronto Fashion Jobs – Gothic Glamour

Friday, December 28th, 2012

Fierce vampy fashion and Victorian flair give this gothic trend a modern makeover swimming in lavish opulence and luxurious details with a medieval mix of bondage inspired leather, feminine lace, plush velvet and intricate embroidery alongside edgy gleaming jewels. When night calls, give your eveningwear a dark injection rich with dramatic romance and elegant glory to embrace the new noir.

Calgary Fashion Jobs – Runway to Everyday

Wednesday, December 12th, 2012

I absolutely love going to fashion shows, the whole atmosphere makes me shiver with excitement but every time I go to one, I ask myself the same question. As gorgeous designs spill onto the runway, I find myself wondering if the extravagant clothing would really work on every day, ordinary people. Not everyone works in a high fashion environment, so some of the pieces we see may be a bit too much for the average person. This season, I’ve seen a ton of bold prints, dark velvet and leather. When I first heard about these three trends making their way onto the fashion map again, I was a bit skeptical. The first thought that popped into my head was a cheesy ‘70s suit with a paisley top, but as designers incorporated these three elements into their Winter 2012 collections, I quickly changed my mind. Using the runway as your inspiration, you can easily follow the season’s hottest trends by picking a few staple pieces to add to your wardrobe.

Toronto Fashion Jobs – The New Take on Velvet

Sunday, November 4th, 2012

Remember those grungy velvet dresses from the 90s that made us all look like Wednesday from the Adamms Family? Believe it or not, velvet has made its way back on the market, falling under the top 10 trends for fall. With its sexy sheen and luxurious touch, they’re calling it the “Velvet Revolution.” From Armani and Gucci, to Burberry and Ralph Lauren, we saw head-to-toe velvet looks dominate the Fall 2012 runways of the most highly respected designers around the world. Velvet is an easily transitional trend for this season, which can take you from a lunch date with the girls, to a holiday party on the weekend. For a subtler look, try darker shades that won’t be as noticeable, and for that “wow” factor, opt for a jewel tone like emerald or ruby. Give this edgy yet glamorous trend a more modernized try, and guaranteed, you will feel more royal than goth.

Calgary Fashion Jobs – The Fresh Flapper

Monday, May 28th, 2012

Relive the roaring 20s as a fabulous flapper. This modern feminine trend puts the great back into the Great Gatsby by reviving the golden jazz age with art deco inspiration. Designer collections like Gucci, Christian Dior and Alberta Ferretti were reminiscent of the new opulent 20s woman. The glitz and glam of the era can be achieved with drop waist dresses, fringe details, pleats, art deco designs like geometric shapes and lines along with the sparkle and shine of sequins, shimmery fabrics and lustrous metallics. Opt for silhouettes that skim the body as true flapper style has that boyish charm mixed in with flirty, femininity. To reinvent the fresh flapper look it’s all about clothing contours, delicate details and luxe embellishments in soft hues.
