THE MIXING BOWL

What better way for fashion to evolve than to take advantage of Canada’s multiculturalism? Look for plenty of different national styles being integrated into the season.

Designers take the ethnic plunge with brilliant pairings of exotic fabric, textiles, shapes, and tailoring. CLUC Couture included Asian and Eastern European influences in its Fall collection while Uju Fashions incorporated African influences into its couture line. And Fashion Nation was once again all about the brilliant vibe and colour of First Nations fashion.

What GLOSS knows for sure: the world is not flat and our fashion shouldn’t be either!
