L’Oreal Fashion Week 2008

We’re at hump day (Wednesday) of the L’Oreal Fashion Week 2008 and it is in full effect. It’s ‘fabulous shows’ have been taking place at Nathan Phillips Square (out in the cold, yes winter has arrived). Although some of the more familiar names like Buffalo David Bittin and Holt Renfrew haven’t appeared much thus far doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a lot of festivities and networking taking place. With over 20 designers so far that have reserved their time slot and have had a chance to show their new designs and collections, the L’Oreal Fashion Week is off to a great start. Check out the rest of the L’Oreal Fashion Week schedule taking place at Nathan Phillips Square.

L’Oreal Fashion Week Club Events

If your like myself and those brands don’t really interest you, and you’re more interested in the ‘trendy’ category of fashion industry, you might want to check out what’s taking place in some of the Toronto nightclubs.

Monday’s L’Oreal Fashion Week event that took place at Rockwood nightclub (Belvedere Vodka Presents Street Couture) involved a familiar designer to some, as Dealers of the Purple Cloth took to the Toronto nightclubs with girls dressed in what appeared to be some black leather outfit, wearing a mask holding a leash in one hand with a male model at her will. Other then the dark sadistic designs there was some high waist outfits that are hip and popular right now.

Dealers of the Purple Cloth wasn’t holding back with their vibrant colors as their reds lit up the room and the purples cooled it down. It’s a collection you have to see for yourself. Check out the Toronto nightclub pictures from the fashion show at Rockwood nightclub, or if you want a more detailed description of the company, check out their website, Dealers of the Purple Cloth.


L’Oreal Fashion Week 2008 Day #2

Just because Paris Hilton wasn’t at Ultra Supper Club in Toronto this time doesn’t mean the Toronto supper club wasn’t still pumped up, Affliction was at Ultra last night and it looked like bodies had been afflicted, with artsy body paint . As the models showed off their swagger the bad ass appeal of their brand was in full effect. Although some of the shirts weren’t as ‘busy’ as their last collection, it seemed like the trendy Toronto crowd was feeling it.

L’Oreal Fashion Week 2008

Today kicks off the beginning of L’Oreal Fashion Week 2008 in Toronto. Each year the L’Oreal Fashion Week travels to Toronto to show off next year’s spring collections (2009). For the second year in a row the venue will be at Nathan Phillips Square. Last year there was mixed reviews on this location (mostly negative), as they have now been using tents for a lot of the set up. Muzik nightclub was host to the 2007 L’Oreal Fashion week and had great reviews. It’s actually kind of surprising that they would use Nathan Phillips Square again as the location for this year’s Fashion Week.

L’Oreal Fashion Week Toronto Club Events

Like previous years in the past, some of the brands included in the L’Oreal Fashion Week have taken their upcoming collections and have chosen to execute fashion shows in the Toronto nightclubs. This is a smart move considering a lot of their target market are the patrons that attend these Toronto nightclubs, wearing their brands. Kleen Media (Toronto Nightclub Promoter) is a major player in working with these brands to bring their presence inside the Toronto clubs.

Some of the Toronto nightclubs hosting these events are the following:
This Is London
Brant House
Cheval
Atelier
Zu Bar
Strange Love
Club Mansion
