It’s an unfortunate truth that all too often, in order to be recognized, Canadian talent has to leave the country. But the Toronto-based Fashion Design Council of Canada has been working to change that since 1999. Part of their work–fantastically–involves producing Toronto’s annual Fashion Week. This fall, designers from Canada–and around the world–debuted their spring collections.
Top Trends from Toronto Fashion Week
1. Short and Sweet
Hemlines are on the rise, with designers cropping pant hems and sending out Bermuda shorts and biker shorts-a la Ms. Miuccia Prada.
2. Tulip Touch
The tulip skirt bloomed a few seasons ago, and has given rise to the newly-named bubble bottom: cocktail dresses and skirts were gathered, tucked and tailored.
3. Blue is Best
Sky infused hues were everywhere: evening wear, casual, and denim.
4. Jump to it
All-in-one jumper styles–in shorts, asymmetrical, or dhotis–are hot for day or evening.
5. Ruffle Your Feathers
Flourishing on shirt sleeves, dress fronts, necklines and hemlines, ruffles were a go-to accent.
