Toronto: Morales and Rudsak

This season, everything is coming up roses for designer Renata Morales who sent models down the runway in an array of ethereal, candyfloss frocks.
Pretty pastels washed over the rosette-accented chiffon pieces and girlie-glam sequins were layered under filmy skirts. Hemlines moved north (minis!) and south (maxis!) but our favourite length fell just below the knee on the flapper-inspired tank dresses. Adorable! The collection took an Asian spin with the Japanese pop art prints on oversized dresses and strapless column gowns. One model’s floor-length frock was so narrow that she was forced to take geisha-style steps down the runway. Best details: braided trim, ruffles, rosettes, sequins and shimmer. Watch the runway video and designer interview.
Rudsak injected a little energy into the evening (hey, it’s been a long week!) with designer Evik Asatoorian’s lineup of leather looks. The brand is known for au courant outerwear and this season was no exception. Trench coats and motorcycle jackets were offered up in a cool minimalist palette of black and white. Tres chic! Bright, ruby-red accents were sprinkled throughout the collection providing a pop of colour amongst the monochromatic must-haves. In love with: the leather bags. Give carte blanche to the white version for spring. Trend to pass on: double leather (jacket and pants). If you aren't a fan of double denim, this tricky trend may not get your motor running. Spring must-have: a rich caramel coloured leather blazer.
Until my next jottings, my lovelies...xo
