The winner would have their garment sold in Winners and said garment would be ready to be purchased the next day. Very interesting!

The prize for this challenge could truly launch one designer’s career – the top design will be sold in select Winners stores across Canada. Iman leads the judging panel to declare who will win and who gets cut. The episode was hilarious as always, plenty of freakouts and fights.

Fall 2009 – 2010 has been pretty boring to me. I haven’t posted as much as I have in previous seasons because nothing has really grabbed me. Paris has had better shows than Milan and NYC. One of those shows is Rick Owens. He eschewed traditional black and send greys of all shades down the runway. It was a fabulous collection as always. I shall be salivating over his jackets once again this fall. See the complete show at Rick Owens Fall 2009 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com. images: showstudio.com and style.com

I was asked to be part of a video for Toronto’s 175 Birthday celebrations. It was created by the wonderful Jamie Woo of Torontoist and Suresh Doss of Spotlight City.
