LG Fashion Week: Canadian Trends

- A sneak peek at what spring has in store

By Stephanie Trembath,

( Nook debut fashion show

took place October 18 — 23

in Toronto last week with
renowned designers showing off their
spring collections. While the rest of
the world hikes up their knee socks
and looks for lost gloves, these models
displayed spring clothing baring lots of
leg and whimsical colors as they walked
down the runway. Featuring over thirty
designers from all over the world, the
LG Fashion Show displayed upcoming
trends for spring this year; so ladies,
be sure to keep all your spring pieces
from last year in beige, ice green, and
salmon pink, because they’re making a
comeback in 2011.

Toronto’s Fashion Week, which is
sponsored by non-other than L’Oreal
Paris, brings together media industries,
buyers, and consumers of the fashion
world in furthering the Canadian fashion
economy and increasing the designers
profiles. Featured at the Toronto
fashion fest were a number of notorious
Canadian designers, as well as a few up-
and-coming names to look out for.

Amanda Lew Key, who was born in
Toronto and attended Ryerson University
for her bachelors in fashion design, is a
newer face to the industry as she focuses
on high-end street design. At the young
age of twenty-one, her collection has
been showcased at Holt Renfrew and
in August of 2010 she won Canadian
Flare Magazines student editorial
competition for her clothing brand.

At Toronto’s fashion week Lew Key’s
signature ice-blue lipstick highlighted
the models faces as they sauntered down
the runway. Lew Key used a lot of nude
tones and asymmetrical lines in her
spring wear. The contrast in her choice
of color and shape allows for a feminine
touch to come through the distinctive
edginess Lew Key created in the shape

of her clothing; romantic beiges, pale
pinks, and soft grays were featured in
cutting edge clothes that were tailored in
high necked shirts, and skinny tights.
Another featured Canadian born
designer, Wesley Badanjak, utilized
bright pinks, yellows, and soft greens in
his spring collection. With a distinctively
flirtatious yet professional style to his
clothing line LOVAS, Badanjak, who
completed his honours in fashion design
at Ryerson University and continues
to live in Toronto also had wide skirts
paired with form fitted tops, thin belts
over delicate ruffled shirts, and long
chain necklaces with gemstone detailing
which really accentuated Badanjak’s
clothing at Toronto’s big event.
