THE BRUNETTES Party with TOM* Spring/Summer 2015

Perhaps no one throws a party quite like TOM* (Toronto Men’s Fashion Week). With venues like the Audi Downtown Toronto dealership and College Park’s Art Deco spaces, TOM celebrated a week of men’s fashion in style with locations that spoke to both the past and present of luxury.

Mixed highball and blue moon cocktails, along with flutes of prosecco were just some of the libations on offer. Epicurean delights and mini bites had the throngs of fashionistos swarming the well-appointed wait staff. Curated dance beats rocked the house, while style enthusiasts posed with hirsute models, live-tweeting and instagramming the events.

Throwback Thursday: THE BRUNETTES Attend TOM* Spring/Summer 2015

With only a few days left to go until the very first, Fall/Winter edition of TOM* (Toronto Men’s Fashion Week), we thought we’d share some never-before-released photography from THE BRUNETTES’ archive of TOM*’s initial, Spring/Summer debut back in August, 2014.

The event, which was then held at the historic Fairmont Royal York hotel in downtown Toronto, brought together designers, media, celebrities, and industry for the best of Canadian menswear, fashion technology, and parties. Shown above in this Throwback Thursday post are some of our favourite moments from the event, as well as exclusive, backstage photography.

With so many unforgettable moments had from the premiere of TOM* last season, THE BRUNETTES can’t wait to see what surprises the event will have in store, at its new College Park location, when it kicks off next week.

All American

Suburbia gets a heavy dose of city style in this ‘All American’ editorial from T magazine. Featuring model Erik Fallberg of Premium Models wearing pieces from designer labels such as Salvatore Ferragamo, Missoni, Hermès and many more, this style story shows the versatility of a staple in every man’s wardrobe: the leather jacket.

Lensed by Matthew Kristall and styled by Jason Rider, ‘All American’ is a tribute to the iconic symbol of youth and rebellion with a modern twist: it presents the leather jacket in a way that is mature, refined, and all grown up.

Thomas Bálint Spring/Summer 2015

Bold stripes and pops of vibrant blood orange were signature trademarks of the Thomas Bálint Spring/Summer 2015 collection that was recently presented at World MasterCard Fashion Week.

The relatively unisex line focused on slouchy, androgynous pieces with a modern aesthetic and look that is tailored intentionally to be unstructured. Always one of THE BRUNETTES’ favourite collections at WMCFW, Michael Thomas Bálint never fails to present an evolved point of view with his take on contemporary menswear.

HD Homme Spring/Summer 2015

Perhaps nothing gets the World MasterCard Fashion Week crowd going like a well-dressed man. If so, then the HD Homme Spring/Summer 2015 runway presentation delivered dapper gents in spades.

Taking our vote for best menswear showing of the season, the luxurious, Toronto-based label showcased extravagantly flamboyant and edgy looks reminiscent of Versace. Bold prints and colours, structured tailoring, and luxe, satiny materials are all signature trademarks of the collection that had WMCFW guests, including THE BRUNETTES, excited for each and every piece as they were unveiled.
