Off Calendar kick off - Nicolas Andreas Taralis

Nicolas Andreas Taralis FW 10/11

Paris Fashion Week did not officially start until today but Nicolas Andreas Taralis show kicks off the season by being the first show from the capital of fashion to be on style.com. Great reviews and good music from the runway by my friend the amazing Olivier Bobin, aka FADE.

Most importantly it looks like the Helmut Lang void can now be filled by two Canadian designers; Rad Hourani in New York and Nicolas Andreas Taralis in Paris.

About

I have decided to start this blog as I feel there is something happening with young Canadian fashion designers working abroad: Jeremy Laing and Rad Hourani in New York; Todd Lynn, Erdem, and Mark Fast in London; and Calla Haynes and Nicolas Andreas Taralis in Paris.

I have been privy to a lot of these designer's careers from the early days, most of them are friends, and though there is no one thing in particular that screams "I am Canadian" or "Canadian design" it is the mere fact that they all came from the same country that allows me to group them.

Why a grouping? I am inspired by the the "Antwerp Six". I think there is a Canadian School of fashion going on right now. I would like to include Tommy Ton in this mix. True, he is not a designer per say but we are living in a digital era and he is influential in this realm.There is no particular teacher or fashion school in Canada that they owe their styles to, but they all come from Canada and never before has the country exported so much rising talent.
