With Toronto Fashion Week officially in town this week, the tents at David Pecaut Square are set to showcase both established and emerging names in Canadian fashion. While we\u2019ve all heard of Canadian design talents like David Dixon and Farley Chatto, a number or rising names will also be making a mark at Toronto Fashion Week. From Candace Daniela to WRKDEPT, here are a few rising Canuck designers to keep a keen sartorial eye on this season.<\/p>\n

Candace Daniela: <\/strong>The Toronto-based designer launched her contemporary outerwear label in 2014, and features Canadian-made pieces which are designed and manufactured in Toronto. Daniela incorporates materials like eco-friendly alpaca wool, Canadian lamb wool and organic cotton into her coats. As for the design aesthetic, this emerging label is easily recognized by its toppers in rich shades of red, forest green and ivory.<\/p>\n

\"VANDAL<\/a><\/p>\n

Vandal Goods: <\/strong>Launched by founder Ronald Tam in 2014, Vandal Goods is a Toronto label which describes itself as a \u201chybrid of street-aesthetics and classic tailoring.\u201d Staying true to its rebellious reputation, Vandal claims to offer the escapism of an alter-ego through its designs, which are brightly coloured and boldly patterned. From funky jackets with geometric prints to funky architectural kimonos, VANDAL is a suitable fit for the unconventional fashionista.<\/p>\n

\"MARAM\"<\/a><\/p>\n

MARAM: <\/strong>Egyptian-born and Montreal-based designer Maram Aboul Enein launched her eponymous label in 2014. Enein, whose first name means \u2018aspiration\u2019 in Arabic, studied fashion design at Parsons Paris and trained at fashion houses like Balmain, Zac Posen and Oscar de la Renta. The MARAM aesthetic is said to merge the worlds of traditional craftsmanship with touches of fur, embroidery and quilted leather.<\/p>\n
