Save the Date!

With the colder air these days, we're all getting a taste of the fall to come... and with that comes the best time of the year for fashion (the latest issue of Vogue is the heaviest ever).

Myself a bit bed ridden over the past week, we are excited about the week ahead, full of final samples being completed, a photo shoot towards the end of the week, and preparations for the week after that... FNO (aka Fashion's Night Out). Save the date, Friday September 10th! Pop by Tabula Rasa for drinks, dancing, and to view my f/w 2010 collection (and see me!)

Leavin' on a Jet Plane...

Don't know when she'll be back again... actually she's coming back soon for a certain someone's Champagne birthday and a good friend's wedding. My best friend Tanya, turned model at fittings with the patternmaker, and good eye and opinion throughout the upcoming season's looks has left me and Toronto for greener pastures. Gone for one year to Scotland to learn how to become a great teacher, we celebrated many a evenings, but this one in particular is worth mentioning... a soiree at my place with lots of good friends, food and drinks (strawberry rum punch in her hand, yummy!) laughs (and cries at 4 am). The valuable consultant she has become continues now via Skype.

Oh, and doesn't she look great in the S/S 2010 "Noir All Over" top!

Spot the Similarity!

I recently saw the Gucci A/W 2010 Campaign (right) in both August issues of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and had to do a double take and swatch analysis to make sure it was what I thought.

So... who did it first?  Taessa Chorny or Gucci with that white spotted silk fabric?  Regardless, it is flattering and reassuring to know that my careful fabric selection is in a league with one of the big guns, Gucci. 

p.s. I would have to say me (the "One Shoulder Love" from the S/S 2010 Collection).
