Jean Pierre Braganza Spring 2010 Lookbook
I learned about this Canadian now in London just recently through the Canadian School of Fashion blog. I’m love discovering all these Canadians that are getting their name out in various markets.
Best part, he’s available in Toronto. Check out Carte Blanche, 758 Queen Street West, Toronto Check out the Jean Pierre Braganza to see the full lookbook. images: jeanpierrebraganza.com I thought the Moncler Gamme Bleu Fall 2010 Show was super cute. I found a video of the show since the photos were so charming. During Berlin Fashion Week Nick Knight and Gareth Pugh were involved in an exhibit at The Galerie Für Moderne Fotografie.  Nick Knight - angular series Nick Knight took photos of a model in a beautiful handmade gown by Gareth Pugh. The model does a great job of showing off the gowns best assets with movement. God, I love Nick Knight’s photography.  Nick Knight - angular series  Nick Knight - angular series Pugh then had the lens turned on himself for a series of portaits with Sølve Sundsbø.  Gareth Pugh, shot by Sølve Sundsbø  Gareth Pugh, shot by Sølve Sundsbø - My favourite shot  Gareth Pugh, shot by Sølve Sundsbø Pugh’s portraits are so weird and so appealing. I love the shot with the Roman like helmet on. I’m attracted to anything military regardless of era. He really does look like an alien in that last image. images: wallpaper.com Doll Factory by Damzels Annual 50% Off Sale  Doll Factory by Damzels Annual 50% Off Sale Thursday, February 4 - 7, 2010 Doll Factory by Damzels 1122 Queen St. East
Browsing cyanatrendland.com lead me to Christopher Raeburn. I love these spring 2010 jackets. They are so colourful and making use of the sheer trend.
Christopher Raeburn has jackets for both men and women. I’ve posted some of each here because I liked both styles. The colours are so vibrant. The jackets just scream fun times to me. I really like the way they pop in these trade show photos I found on the Christopher Raeburn blog.
These booths would be magnets to me. I would be drawn by the bright colour and fabric. Of course, there are no Canadian outlets for Christopher Raeburn but you can purchase online at the webshop. images: remadeinengland.blogspot.com, christopherraeburn.co.uk At IDS10 I discovered SLIDE through their Concord based rep, Company B Inc. I grabbed their 2009 catalogue and found so many beautiful images of SLIDE products in use that I thought I would share. I thank my trusty scanner on days like this.  This swing is amazing. Must aquire old tree and backyard

Winners PR holds season previews. I was surprised when I received an invitation to the Spring 2010 preview. Why would an off-season retailer hold a preview for the current season when what they sell is from last spring. It was getting all confused in my head as I grasped for answers. It wasn’t forthcoming so I had to see for myself.
The showroom was well put together. There were sections that featured the themes and trends for the Spring 2010 season. There was even a little section for Stylesense. I browsed through the racks and noted items liked. I saw a lot of the following trends:
As I was browsing, I kept thinking about the odds of me seeing any of these pieces in a Winners store. This fact was part of my initial confusion about the preview. I’ve seen Winners ads and placements in the past and I’ve never seen any of those items in the store. An exception would be Jessica Biffi’s Project Runway Canada dress. I wonder if I’m alone, have you seen anything from magazines in Winners?
The more I looked around the more I realized the purpose of the showroom. It was a way for Winners to reach out and promote the shop through the confines of the current season. The number of items in the showroom is a drop in the bucket compared to what Winners must buy in a season. This small group of pieces are selected to give Winners a voice relevant to the season through media. They need media mentions, therefore the resources to accommodate must be available. I didn’t ask about the buying process which I regret now. I’m curious if they are given purchase direction for the upcoming season.
I can’t lie, I did see some nice pieces in the showroom. They are laid out in the pictures above. Just be prepared to find substitutes when you go hunting.
