I totally thought that last night’s episode of Project Runway would be the finale and that the season would be a wrap. Of course, the producers decided to milk it, so we won’t get to see the runway shows and the crowning of the winner until next week (should have figured). Last night, our friend, Tim Gunn, paid visits to all of the designers in their hometowns…which...

The most common question asked while waiting for shows to start has got to be, “So…which has been your favourite show so far?” Now that all the chaos is over and I’ve had a chance to reflect on the week that was Jaeger London, Armand Basi.

I can’t believe how quickly this season of Project Runway has gone by. With this week’s episode, the final contestants were chosen to make their debut at Bryant Park for Fashion Week. The challenge was to find a piece of art from the MET and to create an original garment inspired from it. It was annoying to see Rami immediately lunge towards a statue of Aphrodite...

My last stop before calling it a wrap at Camilla Staerk. For the first time, Gen Art showcased the work of only one designer instead of their typical three, displaying their resolute confidence in the new talent. The collection was titled ‘Bride of the Black Moon’ and appropriately many pieces were done completely in black leather and lace. The models wore heavy...

The Willow by Kit Willow presentation was one of the last shows to be held in Bryant Park for Fashion Week AW08 (and my last show in the tents) so I did my best to take it all in. It’s been an exciting week! The Sydney-based designer created a beautiful collection of elegantly tailored separates and dresses for the young and modern woman. Fitted jackets, girly dresses...

Montreal-based stylist turned designer, Rad Hourani showcased his AW08 presentation at Bumble and Bumble on Friday. A completely untrained designer with no formal schooling, Rad’s first collection which showed in Paris last year, helped to quickly win him acclaim among his peers, and his style has already been compared to other famed designers like Helmut Lang.

Already a rising star in Canada, Arthur Mendonca presented his AW 08 collection yesterday in hopes of making a stronger name for himself in the States as well. Although his chosen venue was a trek from Bryant Park (which probably deterred many a high-heel clad woman from attending), I was lucky enough to find an empty cab to make it to the show (and spotted songstress...

Naeem Khan showcased an absolutely stunning 26 piece collection this morning. Everyone in the tent, including front rower, Eva Longoria Parker, was “ooh-ing and “ah-ing” and pointing at the gorgeous pieces they wanted to steal off the runway. I even caught a hint of a smile and twinkle in the eye from Elle director, Nina Garcia.

I will admit that when I was a kid, I used to watch the WWF all the time with my older brothers (I was a big Hulk Hogan fan). I never really got into watching women’s wrestling though because cheering on huge, as in built like a super hero, ladies wearing glittery spandex pulling out each others hair was not really my cup of tea. So when this weeks Project Runway...

Fashion Week is great if you’re located in a major city (or have the means to travel to one). If you’re located far away in the suburbs, however (as I was growing up), it’s beyond tantalizing to see those images of gorgeous clothes and not be able to see how it moves when the model walks down the runway, or see the entire outfit from head to toe (detail shots...
