Loreal Fashion Week Recap Continued : Evan and Dean, Rudsak and Lucien Matis

The final three Toronto Fashion Week collections I will be posting about are: Evan and Dean, Rudsak and Lucien Matis. While I was dressing backstage my Mom was in the audience watching the shows. This post includes some of her thoughts on the shows as well. Later this week I will be posting about some of the vintage stores I visited and the blogger's brunch I organized! In the meantime, Danielle from Final Fashion has already posted about our exciting meeting on her blog. Who were your L' Oreal Fashion Week Favorites?

Evan and Dean

A magical nature inspired collection. The intricate cut out jewelry was unique and complimented the pieces nicely. Stiff but shimmery fabrics shone as they floated down the runway. These pieces could be dressed up or down for any occasion. The gowns and dresses would be perfect for summer evening cocktail parties. The color palette was vibrant and eye catching.

Rudsak

I never thought I would ever like leather this much. This collection included many separate and functional pieces. The purses and accessories were stunning! The color palette featured blacks and whites with occasional beiges. I want one of those hats!

Lucien Matis

Lucien, runner up of Project Runway Canada, continues to prove that he is a top Canadian designer. His work is detailed and always beautifully executed. He makes it look easy and effortless! He presented his collection to a full house on the evening of Friday September 24. Models wore intricate head scarves, elegantly flowing gowns and simple complimentary jewelry. The first image was his most elaborate look and a quick change as well! Bravo Lucien on a magnificent collection that surpassed everyone's already high expectations.
