Cynthia’s Article from the Huffington Post: Plus-Size Fashion Shouldn’t Lack Style

Allistyle two looks

ShareI recently wrote a post on my site, DelectablyChic!, about the recent Allistyle show at World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto. This was not a response to the Toronto Standard piece about the models being laughed at, but an honest review about the show itself. It was not an all-rosy review, which was apparently something that I was expected to write. I [...]

The Ultimate Looks for NYFW and TIFF: An IFB Project

TIFF and NYFW

New York Fashion Week starts this coming Thursday, the same day as opening night for the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).  Both events are stylish, in cities where constant heel wearing isn’t ideal and involve a lot of celebrity sighting and perhaps even be photographed by others.  And not to mention unpredictable temperatures.  Early September [...]

What I Wore at Toronto Fashion Week: A Week of Outfit Pics

Me - Cynthiaootd

ShareI decided to post my week’s worth of Fashion Week outfits in one post rather than separate “Outfit of the Day” articles that everyone else seemed to be doing.  As usual, there was a lot of emphasis on wearing Canadian brands, so every day, I tried to incorporate at least ONE Canadian designer or brand [...]

Petites at Fashion Week: Day Three

Chriselle

ShareDay Three was yet another busy day at Toronto Fashion Week with several highly anticipated shows including VAWK (which featured “regular women” models for the VAWKKIN line) and ever-popular and affordable, Joe Fresh.  For me, it was also a matter of running back up to Yorkville to pop into the Coach boutique for a book [...]

Petites at Toronto Fashion Week: Day Two

Raya and Melanie

ShareDay two was an exciting day, featuring collections from the artistic Adrian Wu to last season’s Mercedes-Benz StartUp winner, Martin Lim and the very ready-to-wear and petite friendly Matis by Lucian Matis (more on this collection later this week/early next week).  Many of the shows had gorgeous pieces (though I know some so-called “fashion bloggers” [...]

VAWK Model Call Asks for ‘Diversity’ But Not in Height

vawkcastingcallsmall

ShareProject Runway Canada winner Sunny Fong is known for using a wider range of sizes for his line, VAWK, but once again, he is ignoring the shorter woman in his casting call for his upcoming Toronto Fashion Week show. While the call does allow for non-runway height women (5’6″ and above, without heels), I cannot [...]

NYFW: 1960s Betsey Mania!

ShareWith a theme of 1960s London, going into the disco era of the 1970s, Betsey Johnson’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection opens with a short video of girls screaming at who’s presumably The Beatles.  The collection was full of bright colours, miniskirts, floppy hats, chunky sweater dresses and po’boy caps we see a typical Betsey production of [...]
