Urban-Cowboy Couture: The Klaxon Howl Fall/Winter 2013 Collection is Effortlessly Cool

Presented in the studio space at World MasterCard Fashion Week under a quartet of spotlights to the strum of an electric guitar, the Klaxon Howl Fall/Winter 2013 collection was nothing short of rock and roll.

Cowboy hats, neckerchiefs, and denim pieces tied the collection together with an urban-cowboy theme, while edgier, mixed-textile garments and military references solidified the Klaxon Howl Fall/Winter 2013 lineup as one of the hippest menswear collections of the week.

Wigged Out Runway Walks: The Pink Tartan Fall/Winter 2013 Show was Inspired by Troubled Blondes

Using iconic blonde characters from Hitchcock films—ones known for having a little bit of a dark side—as her muses, Kimberley Newport-Mimran gave quite a show with her ‘60s-inspired mod collection of sophisticated pieces.

And, although many critics had much to say online about the blonde wigs used in the World MasterCard Fashion Week show, Pink Tartan delivered a cohesive and colorful collection of fur pieces, capes, and a-line silhouettes that celebrate the past, present, and future of femininity. Notable guests at the show included Steven Sabados and Chris Hyndman, Amanda Brugel, and Kimberley’s husband, designer Joe Mimran.

Bespoke British Blokes: The Bustle Fall/Winter 2013 Collection is for Royals with a Reputation

London looks took to the World MasterCard Toronto Fashion Week catwalk with the showing of the ‘Royal Rebel’ collection from the new Bustle Fall/Winter 2013 lineup. Designers Shawn Hewson and Ruth Promislow were inspired by the British bad boy and Cool Britannia culture when creating the diverse range, which was both coordinated and collage-like.

A sharp mix of bold textiles, prints, and patterns made for a dandy and dapper selection of menswear with an edgy aesthetic that was more "Harry" than "William". Celebrities we photographed at the show included Steven Sabados and Chris Hyndman. THE BRUNETTES also had a chance to meet with Bustle’s designer duo as the week progressed.
