Canada Style is Real Style Network’s special feature profiling  fashion and style events in Canada.  At the Haider Ackermann fashion show at the Royal Ontario Museum on Tuesday evening, the crowd was elated. This was the first time the Parisian based fashion designer has ever shown in Canada or even North America. 119 Corbo the  boutique selling Haider Ackermann fashion exclusively in Toronto were the organizers behind the successful event.

The Colombian born, Belgian educated and now Paris based fashion designer is known for his precision cut leathers and artful draping. The Haider Ackermann fall/winter 2010 collection consisted of mostly dark coloured jersey and lace dresses, structured wool and leather suits and wool coats. You can see more of the collection photos here.

During the fashion show at the Royal Ontario Museum,the models walked slowly to a dramatic soundtrack in a dim room illuminated only by a few spotlights. This did not stop the fashion crowd from closely observing the intricate detailing and styling of each outfit. Take a look at the video:

    I was there. Great clothes, but terrible venue for the vent. NO lighting and the accoustics sucked

    What a coup for the boutique to bring this level of desinger to town. Must have cost a fortune! Usually only the Bay and Holt Renfrew can afford to bring this level talent. It’s beena banner few months for Canada that’s for sure, Jsaon Wu, Brian Atwood,Roland Mouret and now Haider Ackermann. Toronto is finally on the International FAshion map!

    Oh my gosh those models are walking slow. That would make me crazy! The clothes are hot though.

    Normal sized women not allowed to model in Canada? These girls look painfully thin…heads up slowly but surely the models are getting to a healthier weight!
