420 in the park.

Although it's passed, how many of you out there celebrated 420 Day?

The London Free Press got some coverage of the big event down in Victoria Park.

unbound 2010.

Last Friday, April 16 - Fanshawe's fashion design students put on their end-of-the-year graduate portfolio at Museum London.

The ritzy event - seriously, people were lookin' good and the food was fancy - was packed, and while it did start way later than planned (and the fashionable people were getting testy, as this Interrobang reporter overheard), it was worth the wait.

Coming from a person who can't sew to save her life, seeing those creations stomp down the runway was IMPRESSIVE.

The evening performance was judged by big names like famous Canadian designer David Dixon, Maggie Bill of ET Canada, and Erin O'Brien of Flare magazine.

Literally everything from swimsuits to mermaid-inspired evening gowns graced the stage and the audience was visibly psyched by the results.

Congrats to the class of 2010!

lg fashion week - exclusive pics of Brandon R. Dwyer's show.

And we're back with some more images from LG Fashion Week! This time we'd love to show you some pictures taken at Fanshawe grad, Brandon R. Dwyer's show.

BASCH by Brandon R. Dwyer featured some tight looks - literally. But the BASCH girl is confident, and exclusive, according to the press information.
The show started with a sexy, sleek mini-movie featuring a cat-and-mouse game between two women, one changing her identity with various BASCH looks and a blond wig.
Opening the show was the "spy" of the video, followed by each model - wearing identical blond wigs.
It was very wearable. I could see some girls rocking these looks when they go out, or when they really want to make a statement on a date.
The second last dress in mint green was stunning, trimmed with fur and a welcome piece of colour where most collections went black and cream.

Great work, Brandon!

theatre lovers. check it!

Set in the late 1920s and '30s, this play explores a semi-Romeo and Juliet romance between two teens. It's all about sexual awakenings, repression, class systems and the wonder and fear of first love.
Details are on the poster - we encourage you to check it out! It's the program's second graduate performance.

lg fashion week exclusives.

It's FASHION WEEK! Canada's most fashionable are converging on the AllStream Convention Centre in Toronto to see what Canadian designers are turning out for fall/winter 2010.

Everyone from magazine editors, bloggers, VIPs, buyers, TV personalities and more are showing up - front row and centre - to get a peek at designers like Evan Biddell, Orange by Angela Chan, Joe Fresh Style, Pink Tartan, among many others.

So far, it's been incredible - sensory overload. Monday say Georgian designers Gaudet with some Lady-Gaga-no-pants-woodland-creature inspired duds; Jules Power with a mix of quirky, comfortable, totally wearable clothes; and celeb-fave Preloved with geek chic knitted shorts, over-the-knee socks and shearling coats.

Check out some shots - please excuse the blurriness, I brought a simple ole digital camera so I did the best I could :)



Here is a bit of Gaudet. Dramatic and bold.






No pants dance and also fur, an issue of contention for many as quite a few collections are featuring it.
And some pops of colour - turquoise - even on the menswear. There was also lots of sheer tops as well. Lots of patterns, tribal and nature.










More to come of other collections - stay tuned!

london: new provincial capital?

London Free Press writer, Ian Gillespie, seems to think so.

MPP Bill Murdoch apparently suggested the idea that London be Ontario's new capital city over big city Toronto.

Here is how he stacks up the two cities:

• "Booze: Back in the 1860s, Toronto became North America's largest alcohol manufacturing centre with several distilleries pumping out whiskey. But Labatt started brewing beer in London in 1847. Now I ask you: What's more popular with the average Ontarian -- beer or whiskey?
• Hockey: Toronto has the Leafs and a booming business in anti-depressants, plus the Leafs play in an over-priced arena named after a company that specializes in losing your luggage. We have the Memorial Cup-winning London Knights, who play in an affordable rink named after a brewery.
• Mayors: Toronto Mayor David Miller regularly posts on Twitter, including a recent item about how his son "backchecked, all the time" in his minor hockey game. London Mayor Anne Marie DeCicco-Best does not. (Enough said.)
• Trash: Toronto trucks its trash far, far away. London looks after its own garbage (although we're still trying to get a handle on those darn clamshell containers).
• Other stuff: Toronto can lay claim to a chaotic airport, traffic gridlock, Howie Mandel and Mike Myers. London can claim a relaxed airport, comfortable commutes, Guy Lombardo, Rachel McAdams and Slippery the Seal."

So what do you think? Should London be the next provincial capital?
