Montgomery Wards Catalogue from 1934

I loved this Catalogue from 1934 that my grandma sent me. It's so interesting to see the vintage clippings, and how some of the fashions are coming back.

Fashion Week - SS13

Oh yes, it's that time of year again. Fashion Week has begun!

New York Fashion Week is in full swing, and although I am here in Winnipeg, I have enjoyed some of the shows from the other side of my computer screen..

Orla Kiely, Organic by John Patrick, Raleigh, Tim Coppens, and Erin Fetherston, showcased their new SS13 collections this past Wednesday,a day before FNO.

Thursday Sept. 6, were showings from Nicholas K, BCBG Max Azria (one of my favourites), Richard Chai Love, Creatures of the Wind, Duckie Brown, Joseph Abboud, Tadashi Shoji, Costello Tagliapietra, Shades of Grey, and Honor.


I always look forward to the BCBG show, as it has been one of my favourite brands since I discovered it... And the fact that it's closer to my price range than Chanel (who I of course LOVe), makes it all the better.

Today models strutted in Parke & Ronen, Peter Som, Tess Giberson, Nonoo, Behnaz Sarafpour, Jason Wu, Nautica, Yigal Azrouel, Cushnie Et Ochs, Rebecca Minkoff (amazingggg prints), General Idea, Gregory Parkinson, Jen Kao, Tocca, Rag & Bone, Tommy Hilfiger Men, N.Hoolywood, Nicole Miller, Billy Reid, Charlotte Ronson, Helmut Lang, Todd Snyder, Suno, and Billy Reid Mens.



Some of the upcoming shows that I will def. not miss are....
Prabal Gurung, Alexander Wang, Tibi, Lela Rose, Diane von Frustenberg, Zac Posen, Pierre Balmain, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Alice + Olivia, Betsey Johnson (nothing beats her cartwheels down the runway), Marc Jacobs, Rodarte, Rachel Roy, Oscar de la Renta, Jeremy Scott, and Calvin Klein.

After working in London this summer I have become more aware of UK designers. London Fashion Week starts on Friday, September 14, and I cannot wait to see the new SS13 collections from Sass & Bide, Jasper Conran, Rag & Bone, House of Holland, Matthew Williamson, Vivienne Westwood Red Label, Acne, Burberry Prorsum, Temperley London, and Mulberrry.

Milan Fashion Week begins on Wednesday, September 19th, through to Monday, September 24th, and Paris Fashion Week begins on Tuesday, September 25th, through to Wednesday, October 3rd.
