Prada Spring 2010 Ad Campaign Video
I had no idea there was a Prada Spring/Summer 2010 Ad Campaign video. I can’t help but watch this mesmerized. I think it’s the music. Here’s a quick video reminder of the Prada Spring 2010 collection.

Jeremy Laing Ready To Wear – Fall 2010
Jeremy Laing debuts fur and knits for his Fall 2010 collection. I’m in love. The huge waffle knit looks so cosy and warm. I love the fur hoods and snoods. I can see these being a hot item for fall, especially with the unusual treatment and colours. Beaver, raccoon, and muskrat pelts come from sustainably hunted animals in Canada. Jeremy was inspired by: “Elements of the Canadian northwest coast: from the curvilinear style of Native American graphics appearing on totems, boxes and midcentury art prints to the rich colors and textures of the redwood forest.†This collection was an exploration of texture and surface. Most elements of this collection I loved but I did feel that it was a little all over the place. I’m on the fence with what I call the sky print (it looks like a night sky full of stars). I want to see it in person or on video because I think the camera isn’t doing it justice.

Proenza Schouler Ready to Wear – Fall 2010
The Proenza Schouler fall 2010 show was fun. It had the bumping runway music and I loved the clothing. It was very preppy and collegiate in a way. The graffiti print denim, a collaboration with J Brand, gave the preppy a bit of an edge. The shoes however were beyond stupid and ugly. I wondering why everyone walked so funny during the show. It’s because of these Completely, totally, completely ugly! images: style.com
Final Fashion Paper Doll – Rodarte Fall 2010
Danielle from Final Fashion is doing paper dolls again. She’s expanded from Toronto and is taking the experience to the international fashion scene. First up is a final fashion paper doll for Rodarte Fall 2010. I didn’t care much for the Rodarte collection but I really did love their white gown finale. Danielle’s rendition is beautiful. Be sure to watch Final Fashion Paper Dolls page to see more updates. I know she’s working on Jeremy Laing. She will be selling prints via the Final Fashion Etsy shop.
Dean and Dan do the Olympics
We were so relieved to find out that Dean and Dan of DSQUARED2 only dressed the some of the headlining talent for the Opening Ceremonies. Some of those costumes were just flat out bad. Here’s a breakdown with cute sketches of what Dean and Dan put together. Measha’s gown was my favourite of the bunch. I didn’t expect something like this from DSQUARED2. She also wore jewellery from the Measha Collection by Mindham Fine Jewellery. I love the colours and that they aren’t your standard diamonds. Here’s the breakdown of that beautiful collection Bracelet – Eight stone 123ct citrine “Wilma†bracelet set in 18ct yellow gold – $12,690 Ring – 116.38ct citrine ring containing 1.33ct diamonds set in 18ct white gold – $11,030 Necklace- 41ct peridot and 232.62ct prasiolite neck collar set in 18ct yellow gold – $14,200 Ear Pendants – Matched pear shape 36.15ct golden beryl ear pendants containing 1.1ct diamonds set in 18ct yellow gold – $28,400 I really, really wish Dean and Dan dressed KD Lang, that would have been amazing.

Hexa by Kuho Ready to Wear – Fall 2010
Hexa by Kuho designer, Kuho Jung is Korean and he showed in New York for Fall 2010. He called his collection,’Talpi’ which translates from Korean as ‘ecdysis’ – “the moulting of skin in reptiles and amphibians, although the term can be used ‘to represent attempts to shed our outer skins and reemerge as spiritually more perfect’.” I very intrigued by the shapes in the collection. Some of it looks very restrictive, but that doesn’t deter my desire to want to wear it. Nick Knight from ShowStudio created a video for the Hexa by Kuho Fall 2010 collection. Follow the ShowStudio link as I can’t embed. Oh ShowStudio I wish you would allow embedding of your wonderful videos. images: the Fashion Spot
i want: Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 Accessories
Something is very wrong with me, I like some of the handbag offering from Louis Vuitton this season. I’m usually someone that only likes the Damier Azur canvas. I don’t know, maybe it was the music from the Spring 2010 show or the colours, but some of these bags are looking good. Forget about the price for a moment as they are astronomical and just look at the fun design. I think it’s the colour schemes that gets me. The colours are vibrant and well matched. images: nitrolicious.com
Marni x Current Elliot Fall 2010
Marni and Current Elliot have teamed up for denim collaboration for Fall 2010. Marni designer, Consuelo Castiglioni, was given free reign to design denim that fit with the Marni aesthetic. This is her first denim line Dyes and washes span from light azure to indigo and from faded to saturated. A few styles will be sold with a black cotton belt that Castiglioni likes knotted as a ribbon. Other details include cloth borders, either press studded or piped in leather. Retail prices for the Marni-Current Elliott jeans range from $250 to $500 and will be carried in Marni stores starting in June. This denim gives me visions of chunky boots and rolled up cuffs. I’d pair them with an oversized tshirt and my Final Fashion docs or any of the shorter boots in my closet. via WWD.com images: WWD.com
Jen Kao Ready to Wear – Fall 2010
Jen Kao is an American designer who launched her label in 2007. This is her debut on I want – I got. I was initially taken by the swimsuit/bodysuit with sheer panels. It’s a very dark collection with lots of leather, knits and fur. It has that sci-fi edge that I really enjoy also. images: the Fashion Spot
The MINI Beachcomber Concept – Toronto Autoshow 2010
I haven’t been to the Autoshow in at least twenty years so I jumped at the chance to write about the new The MINI Beachcomber Concept car. The MINI Beachcomber was making a short stop in Toronto for its first Canadian appearance before being whisked to Europe for another autoshow. It may seem a little weird to my regular readers, but I’m a huge MINI fan. I love luxury and sports cars with Porsche being my favourite. Way back in 2006, I wrote a post for blogTO about Zipcar and my first experience driving a MINI. Luxury event managers, CANDICE&ALISON were hired to produce the MINI Beachcomber launch with the theme of beach tailgate party. They brought together a mix of fashion designers, models, makeup artists and product designers to contribute to the launch. The theme was heavily influenced by retro 50s beach party pop culture. Canadian designer Farley Chatto created MINI branded pin-up retro polka dot bikinis, a pair of board shorts and sheer tank. Jon, Vlada (black hair) and Caitlin of Elite models stepped …
