Calla in Flare

Love this Calla Paris fashion week diary in Flare. Calla's ANDAM nominated collection and great inspirations came to life nicely in these pages. Maria Felix and me in the same story: grand.

I should update more often!

Thank you to Flare for the shoutout! It came as a total surprise.

Now I could just get a couple of hours added to the 24hr day I could be post more often...

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.
