REFLECTIONS ON FASHION WEEK - 4 DAYS OF LEARNING

Written by Treasure Seeker Colleen

This is my third Toronto Fashion Week and what a week this one was! So many things change from year to year as the event is dynamic and growing. As always, the volunteers are energetic and helpful and do their best to keep things running smoothly. Their fantastic co-ordinator, Eugenia Loukian, who was so welcoming at the front desk at the last fashion week I attended, was a whirlwind of energy and busy, busy, busy, but always has time for a smile and a "Hi, how's it going?"

Thanks Eugenia!

The Media Area was well used and full of writers and photographers exchanging ideas and happy to share the latest technology. I saw very few pens and many people managed to take pictures, tweet, twitter and talk, all at the same time. From the runway, then it was a mad dash back to get the info out as quickly as possible. Security was good and it was a convenient place to leave coats and bags and also enjoy a water bottle and rest up for a minute.

L'Oreal Hair and Make-up magicians got many people camera ready. What fun to look one's best while watching the best strut down the runway. The Kens were a charming group and a definite attraction and lovely distraction, too. I liked this year's display of clothing for sale and would like to see more clothing, jewelry and fashion cards for sale, next time.

Missed the coffee samples from last year and continue to request that more food be available.

Kudos to the designers and to the models who make the transition for us from concept to reality. Continue to design for a range of sizes and ages, too.

That's all folks. See you next year! If you'd like to attend next season visit LG Fashion Week.
