Pic Me Tommy Ton at Holt Renfrew

Tommy Ton returned to the Toronto fashion scene for an exhibition of his work. Holt Renfrew is displaying Tommy Ton’s photos on the mezzanine level at the Bloor Street store from August 18 – August 30, 2010.

Holt Renfrew is delighted to welcome fashion photographer Tommy Ton to Holt Renfrew Bloor Street, Wednesday, August 18, 2010 for a private event to launch an exhibit of his work. The exhibit of 12 images of some of fall 2010’s most sought-after footwear styles will be housed at Holt Renfrew Bloor Street from August 18 to August 30 on the mezzanine level.

These one-of-a-kind photos were taken by Tommy Ton this spring in Toronto and have each been signed by the photographer himself. For the duration of the exhibit, Holt Renfrew will host a contest where one can enter the chance to win one of 12 framed and autographed prints valued at $1,500. Please see contest details at Holt Renfrew Bloor Street.

I attended the party for Tommy opening night. I really liked what they did with the shoe department. Tommy’s photos were hanging everywhere. The hottest fall 2010 shoes strategically placed on pedestals and encased in clear cubes. They included a pair of Fall 2010 Alexander McQueen shoes that are worth $4000!

It wasn’t all fun for Tommy at the party, he was working photographing the attendees shoes. This would be the first and only time many people (myself included) would ever have Tommy shoot their shoes. I was glad I didn’t wear my Camilla’s as I noticed someone else in them. I wore some Nine West sandals because I was wearing pants and the shoes weren’t visible. I got Tommy to shoot them anyways, why not right.

I didn’t take many photos of the guests but I loved Tommy’s animal print sweater. It was so soft. Jaime amazed me with his head to toe Patrik Ervell ensemble. I did lose my shit when I saw him. There aren’t many people who could pull the look off the head to toe print and I was pretty excited to see Jamie executing it perfectly in front of me.  He’s just too adorable.

Of course the shoes were a major part of the party and we all drooled over McQueen, YSL, Dior, Lanvin, Chloe and Balenciaga. I’m a fan of Chloe boots this season, big time.

See all my photos from the event.

This Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2010 coat is to die for. I tried it on at Holt Renfrew. The colour is so incredibly vibrant. Of course it fits like a glove.

I love the portraits in the Steven Meisel shot Ad Campaign for the Balenciaga Fall 2010 – 2011 collection.

I don’t care much for the standing shots and I would have preferred a different background colour. The portraits are very powerful.

Each model is quite striking looking.

Some of the Balenciaga Resort 2011 collection looked very 70s airline uniform. I wasn’t a big fan of that.  Of the pieces that didn’t look like that, I loved the prints and vibrant colours.  I drink the Balenciaga koolaid with no regrets.

The repeating pattern prints reminds me of childhood blankets and clothing.  The collection still has that sporty Balenciaga feel.

I love the print on the magenta and blue dresses

WWD.com had some close up images of the accessories.  They didn’t have any photo of the slouchy print boot.  I love the industrial looking jewellery.

I’m obsessed with the Balenciaga Fall Winter 2010 Shoes. The fact that they are clunky as all hell and don’t look fun to wear isn’t stopping me. The style.com photos look so clinical. I like these shots from Dazed Digital and Purple Magazine. They have a more “real life” feel.

Balenciaga Ready to Wear - Fall 2010
I found the full show video for the Balenciaga Ready to Wear – Fall Winter 2010 collection. The soundtrack is killer.

This video is great for providing all the angles of the models so you can see the back details. The clothing has so much more depth with video. The construction is a lot clearer. There is a lot going on in the fall winter 2010 collection.

Dazed Digital got a closer look at the collection. They have some great photos of the all the details. I also like the shots from Purple Magazine.

Balenciaga Fall 2010 Shoes

The shoes in the Balenciaga Fall 2010 collection needed a post of their own. I always anticipate crazy shoes from Balenciaga and this time we got block heel brogues and loafers.

What do you think of the shoes? I’m liking the three shoes in the top photo.   I love the colour combinations too.  I hope they aren’t crazy heavy shoes.  They look it.
