Summer may not yet be over, but the fashion runways of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, were filled with the sights, sounds, and (most importantly) smells of leather at Toronto Fashion Week 2013. The word is out... leather is in... with a vengeance!!! The beautiful fall collections featured leather wear reminiscent of Ines designs: elegance, sensuality, and beauty.
Models in long gloves!! Designer Kimberly Newport-Mimran, the mind behind label Pink Tartan, patterned her fall 2013 collection after the TV series American Horror Story. All models wore blonde wigs and appeared slightly deranged, much like the murderous character featured in the television series. Pink Tartan's collection is suited for an incredibly chic woman, complete with my sensual almost elbow-high gloves!
What a gorgeous leather dress! You can't see this, but this unique leather dress has a plunging V-back. And paired with almost elbow-high gloves??!! Stunning...
Montreal-based design team Eran Elfassy and Elisa Dahan (creative minds behind the Mackage label) were featured in a previous blog post. Well, they took Toronto Fashion Week by storm with a fabulous leather line-up. They proved that while basic black is classic, colored leather is just fun! Gloves very similar to my leather button driving gloves made a beautiful appearance as part of the very colorful outfit pictured above...
... while a return to basic black leather is never a bad thing. Leather skirt, sensual oh-la-la leg gloves, and my leather button driving gloves together create an ensemble that is classy, elegant, and very sexy!
Finally, we meet Canadian designer Sunny Fong and his unique label Vawk, displaying his Scandinavian-inspired collection Nordic Fauna. We love our men in leather, and Vawk gives us exactly what we're after: coats inspired by hunting gear and Scandinavian minimalism. The male model pictured above looks delightful in his leather gloves, very similar to my man bare knuckles elk gloves!
I was very happy to see that leather played such a large part of Toronto Fashion Week this year. It's classic, elegant, and will never go out of style, but these and other Canadian designers continue to show that leather is fun too... continue to express your elegance and indulge in your favorite Ines gloves.
