    01/26/2012 the Fashion Design Council of Canada (FDCC) announced that World MasterCard will sponsor Toronto Fashion Week. The event will still be held at David Pecaut Square, but now with the sponsorship of a world class company. MasterCard offers a number of unique insentives for its card members, as seen during last season’s fashion week, and I expect more from the company this season.

    Attitude by Jay Manuel S/S 2012

    LGFW, Sponsored, Tamron, Toronto Fashion Week
    Opique-Attitude

    A great blend of pieces for a number of looks and styles

    The Attitude by Jay Manuel show began in a cloud of smoke as the first model entered the runway. A blend of retro, boho and safari, the collection is comprised of simple, versatile and well-styled looks. Commercial by nature, the brand once again proved that fashion lovers don’t need exorbitant budgets or outlandish tastes to look chic when the summer months come back around. The supremely stylish accessories definitely strengthened the collection and forecasted some upcoming trends. Woven hats, headwraps, chunky arm candy and feathered jewelry garnished jumpsuits and separates made with bold colors and rich textural prints. This was definitely a collection with vast market appeal.

    Joeffer Caoc S/S 2012

    Opique-Joeffer

    Pops of color, with edge style and sophistication.

    Total was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the S/S 2012 collection from Joeffer Caoc. His line was clean, yet bold with pops of color. From the bright oranges to the hot pinks, you saw his take on color blocking going into 2012. He then successfully mixed styles from dark to metallics, to sheer to sky blues. The two key aspects that made the show was his ability to mix separates, from dress to shorts and pair them with great shoes. Each look was complete and strong. The Joeffer Caoc woman is young, confident, and wants a strong, clean look that can be worn at any time and anywhere. For every occasion, Joeffer Caoc has a complete look from head to toe.
