i went to ottawa fashion week this week (http://ottawafashionweek.ca/) and it was a disaster. i was under press, and because it was so small, i had front row seating all three days. this was NOT a good idea (for anyone) as several designer sent garments down the runway that were UNFINISHED and literally held together with needles! this was obviously visible to anyone sitting up close, and how directors allowed that to be shown is beyond me. it really made the entire event look unprofessional.
anywho, nothing to see in ottawa...there was one standout designer, and a few nice pieces among the others, but nothing really groundbreaking.
my bf's family is canadian, and always give me a hard time about not making room for toronto fashion week....i really want to tell them what a joke it is.
i'm really surprised to hear that ottaw fashion week was such a disaster!! i'm from BC and having witnessed the catastrophe that is vancouver fashion week, i was under the impression that fashion in the east, especially the fashion weeks, were a lot better and more substantial, but i guess i was wrong! which is really too bad. i'm also interested to hear who the standout was? what about toronto fashion week, is it up to par?
on another note, i haven't been to any BC fashion weeks yet but it seems like vladimir is doing a good job? any thoughts?
