Sneak Peak At Fashion Week


I absolutely couldn't resist getting a sneak peak at L'OREAL Fashion Week. A few of the designers have shared their inspiration for this season with us. Here's the inside scoop.

Juma

David Dixon

He's hardly the new kid on the block. I've gotten the chance to see his show in Vancouver and Toronto. One thing is sure: he always makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Spring-Summer 2007: Is inspired by black and white photographs of my late parents during the early sixties.
Works out of: Streetsville, Ontario

Zoran Dobric
Spring-Summer 2007: Inspiration behind the Spring 2007 collection is my recent trip to Japan. References to Japanese esthetic and philosophy can be felt in the collection such as color harmonies, geometric pattern cutting and drape, traditional kimono embellishment techniques such as silk hand painting, wood block printing, shibori and applique. Traditional techniques are revived, reinvented and applied in a modern couture. Collection is very exotic and sensual.
Works out of: Toronto, Ontario
