Brose Fall 2009 - 2010 Preview - My favourite dress

I went to the Brose Fall 2009 – 2010 preview at the Lausberg Contemporary Gallery.

Brose Fall 2009 - 2010 Preview - Feathers

I heard of Brose through a Globe and Mail Style Council mailing list and have been salivating ever since. Remember, I need more feathers in my life.

Brose Fall 2009 - 2010 Preview

Brose is a very romantic line; think ballerina shapes, feathers, velvet and ruffles. There is some more tailored pieces that reminded me of Calvin Klein or Jil Sander, very modern with clean, straight lines. The fabrics are incredible quality and the construction is fantastic (Canadian made baby).

Brose Fall 2009 - 2010 Preview - Marika and Allison

I loved a lot of the collection. I felt the velvet was best as skirts. Some of the dresses had some serious boning to them. One dress could stand up on it’s own. I loved it.

Brose is available at Holt Renfrew and jacflash. Special orders can be placed through Marika on the Brose website.
