Mike Vensel - New York Fashion Week S/S 2012

Mike Vensel recently showed his collection at New York Fashion Week with his Spring/Summer 2012 line. We picked out some of our favorite looks and some info. on the collection!


"For Spring Summer 2012 Mike Vensel explores the intersection of the Egyptian goddess Isis and the architect I.M Pei. Egyptian culture, which includes architectural and geometric elements, have all been deconstructed into multiple themes that run throughout the collection, and some unexpected elements that span the most primitive origins of African culture to the most modern architectural themes found in the light, airy work of I.M. Pei. Light winged and caped silhouettes are joined by body-conscious and tunic styles. Simple pyramid shaped details can be found throughout the collection with touches of leather and fur in reference to the worship of majestic animals found in the region. A modern, minimalist take on one of the most ancient traditional cultures and ways of dressing proves that 3000 years into the future many of the same ideas of construction and simplicity can sill be explored in a collection that is both relevant but also timeless".

Ottawa Fashion Week starts today! We're going! Are you?

Today is the first day of shows out of three for Ottawa Fashion Week S/S 2012 and we're very excited!

One of the many reasons we are very excited is because our Beauty Editor (Bree Powell) is one of the official make-up artists for the Ottawa Fashion Week team! It's no surprise, Bree's runway client list reads like a novel!

Good luck to all the models, designers and backstage creative teams!
