Project Runway Canada – Finale

Published by

I’m kinda disappointed that I didn’t call the winner of PRC way, way ahead of time. There were so many hints. Now that the media embargo is finished I can talk about the runway show. My choices for the top 3 were wrong by 1. I thought Stephen Wong was one of the top 3. Let me tell you the applause track they added to the finalist’s runway shows was laughable, completely laughable. I don’t know why it was necessary and it cheapened the whole thing. I was surprised that they used the Biddell/Lucian war to the bitter end. In hindsight I should have realized that they would milk it for all it’s worth. I laughed my ass of when Rita started crying over Lucian’s collection. It was beautiful, not really my style, but beautiful none the less, and it’s only clothing in the end. To me PRC totally followed the American model down to their “Rock and roll and edgy” young designer. He reminds me of Jay. Hopefully Biddell will have an easier time …

Okay Steve, I take everything mean I ever thought of you back.

I attended the Motorola RAZR 2 Party last week at Kool Haus. I have to thank Ian from Hill & Knowlton for the invite. I brought Danielle from Final Fashion with me. The venue was draped with white cloth and had weird ethereal lighting. We drank, ate and chatted with the Motorola models. The crowd was a little strange at first, mostly suits and their significant others. The atmosphere changed once our friends started to slowly stream in. The music was great from the start and DJ Steve Aoki was coming up. I admit that prior to him hitting the decks I haven’t had anything nice to say about him; another L.A. hipster blah, blah. However, I had a change of heart after he begun. He played great music, seemed unpretentious and professional. No, I didn’t talk to him, just observations. Anyone that can make me dance my ass off with great friends around is amazing in my book.

Fritz Helder & the Phantoms – nuff said

Fritz Helder & the Phantoms performed at their CD release party last night and rocked the Great Hall with a flawless, awe inspiring performance. These guys are going to be big. If you weren’t there last night, you ain’t vogue baby. In my humble opinion this is the only relevant band in fashion right now, period. I spotted a lot of fashion people taking part: my designer crush that I never talk to Jeremy Laing, Krane designer Ken Chow, one half of Juma and I want – I got fan Jamil, fashion hero Sonja Andic of TSF, industry insider Gail McInnes, the very sweet Shinan Govani of the National Post, stylist and birthday girl Jessica Tjeng and Project Runway Canada alum Michael Hatley. I’m sure there were others too, I either didn’t know who you were or I didn’t see you. After the show was the after party at the Social where we were treated to another show Village People style. It was awesome. I want a big feather headdress now! Their CD is out …
