Glove sighting in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Meeting friends for coffee this spring? Then let's take advantage of 2 of this season's hottest trends in Canada... florals and leather!

Pink Tartan is a beautiful design label exclusively in Canada... their clothes give us such variety and look fantastic with a pair of my short every day glace gloves! Their pieces can be worn casually or formally, and demonstrate the versatility shared by Ines Gloves.

Canadian fashion label Pink Tartan pays homage to Canadian fashion

Canada's well-known design label Pink Tartan has recently introduced its fall line that looks to Canadian fashion, past and future. The collection was inspired by the famed 1966 editorial in Vogue (The Great Fur Caravan), which featured models dressed in authentic, elaborate furs and beautiful head wraps. Nothing gets me through the Canadian winter better than the ability to don my favourite fur coat and Ines leather gloves!

Textured fabrics, layers, and fur all combine to create a masterful collection for fall 2014. And what better accessory to pair with fur than a pair of my short every day glace gloves! Experiment with colour too... black is timeless, but colour for the cool weather is a must.  

Without a doubt, no other collection on the runways for fall 2014 have mastered the layered look quite as well as Pink Tartan. Look for this collection to hit the television airwaves on the Shopping Channel, making these unique Canadian designs accessible to all.

Ines' 10 best compilations from Toronto Fashion Week: long leather gloves

This past season saw us shying away from baggy, oversized items, but Pink Tartan ruled the runway in this delightful suit by bringing this look back to the fashion forefront.

Imagine a pair of my fingerless opera gloves stretching below the 3/4-length sleeves of this jacket... the combination of texture, leather, and shine make this look really sparkle.

Ines' 5 days of fashion at Toronto Fashion Week: Day Four

Day four at Toronto Fashion Week was all about fur and leather... oh yes!

Canadian design houses Rudsak and Pink Tartan went all out to wrap their models in fur-laced hoods and hats for fall 2014. Perfect for hiding a disastrous do, or keeping warm on a cool day!

And then there was leather... the equestrian look has returned to the runways of fall 2014, but with a new accessory! My fashion scoop half gloves were a delightful part of the ensemble, and complemented a black felt top hat for an added element of dressage.

 
And leather was truly the material of choice for the day, as we saw fur hoods, jackets, and stoles. This ensemble, put together by Rudsak, was a perfect blend of warm, luxurious fur with my sensual oh-la-la leg gloves for a fall outfit that is sure to please!

Ines' 5 days of fashion at Toronto Fashion Week: Day Three

Day three of Toronto Fashion Week continued to show us some of the beautiful fashion trends that we can expect for fall 2014. Pink Tartan, Mackage, and other Canadian designers took centre stage in a flourish of fur, fabric, and of course... leather!

Design label Joe Fresh showed us some delightful photographic patterns to convey moods, emotions, and fashion. Woody landscapes, moons, and furry woodland creatures evoked a sense of mystique and adventure, while city skylines and vintage images created a unique elegance.

Mackage stole the runway with my fashion scoop half gloves and the latest fall trend... the crop top! Worried about baring your midriff as the weather cools?? Not to worry...  crop tops will soon be available in heavier knit fabrics and turtlenecks.

As we prepare for day four at Toronto Fashion Week, let's think more leather, fur, and fashion fun!!!
