Fashion Week Tent Poll: What Do You Think of the Shows?

With 35 shows being held over four days, there's been plenty to see on the runway at L’Oréal Fashion Week. This season's shows have included a mix of newcomers, including Project Runway Canada winner Evan Biddell and established designers Andy Thé-Anh, David Dixon, and Pink Tartan. We asked members of the crowd for their impressions of the fall 2008 presentations.

"I think Toronto Fashion Week is growing up. And being condensed to four days really made a difference because it was hot and heavy every day, so I think it's been great. I think there's been some terrible [shows] like there is in every fashion week all around the world. I mean, Jeanne [Beker] and I were talking about this before: When we go to New York we see the seven or eight major shows, but there's two shows running parallel to each other so there's more bad than there are good. Toronto is no different. There are a lot of people trying very hard who just are not there yet. But there's some outstanding collections. Greta Constantine, world class. They will end up being the next DSquared. They are outstanding. Spectacular."

With all the product giveaways and eye-catching displays, it's hard not to notice who's backing L’Oréal Fashion Week—which kicked off Monday and runs until Saturday—at Nathan Phillips Square. Makeup artists roaming through the main tent offer lip touchups courtesy of L’Oréal, servers dressed in orange wigs hand out bottles of Orangina at mobile soda carts, and guests can stop to shop at a jewelry stand featuring designs from Foxy Originals.

Additional displays include a Travel Alberta exhibit promoting tourism in the province, Fashion Television's booth—where Jeanne Beker conducts postshow interviews with each designer—and a display from the Italian Chamber of Commerce, which sponsored the Talenti Moda Milano show, featuring designs by students from four fashion schools in Milan. In support of Rethink Breast Cancer, Schick Quattro is offering women the opportunity to have a photo taken of their breasts for display on the Booby Wall, a virtual, interactive exhibit created to educate women about early breast cancer detection.

Preparations for L’Oréal Fashion Week are well under way in Nathan Phillips Square, with a crew of 30 people working to erect a series of tents in time for Monday's opening show. The build began on March 6 and will wrap up Friday, with the installation of the black-and-white decor—provided by Rob Dittmer of Three Event Planning and Design—slated for completion on Sunday. The runway, hair and makeup, storage, and catering tents encompass 30,000 square feet this year—10,000 square feet larger than the tents used for the spring 2008 collections last fall.

Fashion Week, featuring a mix of Canada's best-known designers and several Project Runway Canada participants, will see 33 shows and 69 designers take part in the "Wear in the World!" fall 2008 collections next week. The event is also marking several firsts this year, one of which is an on-site party scheduled to follow the opening-night show being presented by Joe Mimran, the creative director behind the Joe Fresh label and chairman of the Fashion Design Council of Canada. "We haven't done that before in the tents," said Kim Graham of Kim Graham and Associates, one of four companies handling media inquiries for the event. MORE >>
