LG Fashion Week

Toronto was buzzing with designers, journalists and fashionistas for LG Fashion Week in October. Several prominent designers included Rachel Mara, Brandon R. Dwyer and Evan Biddell. CitylifeTV.ca host Madeline Stephenson scooped several of the top designers at the prestigious event.

One of those talented designers is Canada’s own Wesley Badanjak. Using his alchemic abilities, Badanjak melds classic essentials of women’s wear with the natural colour of the elements, producing his stunning 2011 spring/summer line, Elemental. “I was trying to take basic elements of the wardrobe and modernize them and infusing them with this theme and this colour story,” comments Badanjak.

Also making a splash is Vancouver native and world-renowned designer Angela Chen. Inspired by the film The Blue Lagoon, Chen uses Brooke Shields as her muse to develop her latest line of soft flowing fabrics accented by subtle details. “I drew the colour pallet from the movie itself … kind of reminiscing the ocean and sand colour, and a lot of the neutral pallets,” explains Chen. The fashion industry moves fast and constantly changes. These bright and talented designers continue to evolve, pushing the envelop of fashion and functionality.
