Front Row Access: World Mastercard Fashion Week Spring 2015

The cold Toronto weather leaves us in anticipation for Spring and its more pleasant weather. Here are some of our favourite looks from the World MasterCard Fashion Week Spring 2015 event at David Pecaut Square. The front row shots capture edgy looks from Brit Wacher, Caitlin Power and first-time presenter Hayley Elsaesser who experimented with bold hues and vibrant prints. 

Some of the event's other standouts included a relaxed and beach-ready range from elan+castor and a chic career woman presentation by Rachel Sin. The #WMCFW Spring 2015 event also featured eveningwear presentations by RUDYBOIS, Narces and Mikhael Kale who's work featured opulent and sculptural details. 

The week's most memorable event was Disney Living's #MinnieStyle presentation that featured pop-culture themed outfit interpretations by designers like VAIKEN and Sid Neigum.

Swag Brag: World MasterCard Toronto Fashion Week Spring 2013 Edition

One of the most exciting reasons to attend any fashion event is to see what swag you’ll receive for the honor of your presence. The shows and sponsors of World MasterCard Toronto Fashion Week Spring 2013 didn’t disappoint when it came to generous giveaways. Clothing, beauty products, jewelry, accessories, sweets, underwear, stationary, fashion rags, gift cards, vouchers for cosmetic procedures, and many other tony gifts were doled out to fashion personalities, media and special guests over the course of the week. 

Some of our favorites included a leather, buckled bracelet from Mackage, a $100.00 gift card from Rachel Sin, dress shirts and trousers from EXPRESS, and color-blocked, linen pocket squares from Whitney Linen. But the best gift bag, without question, had to come from the essie booth.

The award-winning nail art brand gave accredited media gift packs with over $200.00 of merchandise inside that featured still-to-be-released products so top secret that we can’t show it here until it is released in 2013. The bag also came packed with some on-trend colors of polish, nail care, and a chic, magnetic polish that leaves an embossed, croc-leather design on your nails with the use of a special magnet in its cap.

The essie booth didn’t stop there though; they gave free nail makeovers and new, runway-inspired polishes to all in attendance, while also providing its services to many of the runways at Fashion Week itself.

Rachel Sin Spring/Summer 2013

The Rachel Sin Spring/Summer 2013 collection recently showed at World MasterCard Toronto Fashion Week and THE BRUNETTES were there to take in the runway of effortlessly elegant and wearable pieces presented by the designer, which even drew in a crowd of onlookers from outside the fashion week tents.

Soft hues and fabrics were shown in contrast with sharp tailoring, avant-garde cuts, zipper details, and dynamic, directional lines. All of the latter elements may have been incorporated into the designer’s aesthetic based on techniques she acquired in her previous occupation … as a skilled architect.
