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.

Although the main attraction for TIFF 2008 is having all of these big name celebrities travel north of the border to Toronto, we can’t forget the reason they are here, to promote their new films. Now because these are TIFF 2008 movies that you and I have probably never heard about, it’s hard to tell who’s staring in what film and what the film is about.

The who’s who of Toronto’s night club scene

The who’s who of Toronto night club scene has worked over time this past year to put the bustling city on the map in an area not always synonymous with the home of the CN Tower. While its rivals south of the border have beach front properties and warm temperatures luring party goers to their latest hot spot, Toronto’s industry has to work around rain, snow and slush. Regardless, many A-list celebrities have been spotted within the heavily decorated walls of such places such as Ultra Supper Club, Guvernment, This is London and Level. Amongst those in attendance included Paris Hilton, Kevin Dillon, Gene Simmons, Samuel L. Jackson and Brody Jenner.

Drawing a crowd of partiers from age 19 to 40, there is a venue to suite everyone’s taste. Toronto is home to some of the best resident DJs spin, hottest bartenders and sexiest crowds. New clubs like Embassy Nightclub, Tryst, Circa and Hyde are pushing the limits of entertainment and forcing other venues to step up. Renovations have given Level, Lot 332 and Distrikt a much needed face lift. Bigger and better, only time can tell what will be next for Toronto’s night club scene. Until then, take a wander down Richmond or King street- better yet, dance your way down.
