LINCOLN LUSH Fashion Week/Luxury Report
|
Toronto LG Fashion Show - Day 2
By Carole Park

Lincoln Front Row spottings: CBC’s Rick Mercer seated next to Fashion Television’s Jeanne Becker, and model coach and judge of Canada’s Next Top Model Stacey McKenzie.
Travis Taddeo
Travis Taddeo’s color palette was inspired by the blue, white and red of the French flag and took on the idea of the French Revolution in his latest collection. Taking a cue from the no-pants look worn by the likes of Lady Gaga and Beyonce, Taddeo opened his show model in a thong bodysuit. The looks were clearly inspired by current streetwear with items including cut-off denim shorts and razorback tops in jersey and leather, sure to be popular with hip twenty-somethings.
Jason Meyers
Bright-coloured dresses with trains were contrasted with ruffled pastel outfits at Jason Meyers’ latest foray into womenswear. Look 14, a purple mock neck dress with back button detail certainly would stand out at a cocktail party and the white cotton bow blouse featured in the opening look can easily be a staple in any woman’s closet. Although there were highlights in the collection, the presentation lacked cohesion in clearly communicating Meyers’ vision on the runway. However as a designer, he continues to show growth with every passing season.
David Dixon
David Dixon’s signature collection felt fresh, sunny and light with shades of lemon yellow in laser cut chiffon floating down the runway. Standout items certainly included a chartreuse hand-beaded satin skirt and a long flowing dress in a spirograph organza, which is a nice way to incorporate a smaller and subtle pattern into a pattern-shy wardrobe. Overall, David Dixon put out a wearable collection with an easy summer elegance.
Andy The-Anh
The crowd all packed into a showroom to see designer Andy The-Anh’s latest collection which included impeccably tailored dresses and jackets. The-Anh’s palette focused on shades of blue and nude, immediately reminding one of the white sand and turquoise oceans of a Caribbean beach. The concise collection highlighted the strengths of the designer with well-placed darts, clean lines and modern silhouettes that not only makes The-Anh a strong designer, but one to keep an eye on each season.
Bustle
Designer Shawn Hewson and Ruth Promislow put out a collection that had a cheeky take on preppy pastels and plaids for their latest menswear collection. Dress shirts with collars and cuffs accented with blue and green plaids added a splash of brights against a pastel jacket. The mixing and matching of striped pants and plaid shirts worked well on the runway, making one think it can be pulled off in real life. Bikini and cardigan clad Canada’s Next Top Model judge, Stacey McKenzie served up caesars and beers to the front row while strutting down the runway. Suited up in navy and white was CBC host of The Mercer Report, Rick Mercer, who also took a stroll for the show. |

Leggings, Leggings, Leggings!
The scene is dark at in the trendy Queen West, but not at Tattoo Rock Parlour. Inside you’d find deep house music, young and trendy Torontonians combined with what seemed to be the theme of the night, LEGGINGS!
Jaclyn Genovese, owner of Jacflash, along with her friends, were wearing an array of print design on tights. My favourite among the bunch were the ripped black leggings. If you want to dress down a fancy ensemble or even dress up your casual wear this is the way to go. My advice when picking out your perfect tights is remembering what is fashionable and what is tacky, you want to get attention for style not for questioning.
Prices ranging from $35- 40
