<\/a><\/p>\nWallacePlayford <\/strong><\/p>\n Founded in 2010 by co-designers Katherine Laird and Jennifer Murtagh, the Toronto-based label explored Japanese femininity in their new collection. Called Neko-pop, WallacePlayford played with the traditional Japanese art movement and featured a quaint kitty cat motif in their designs. Models stormed the catwalk wearing frilly frocks in shades of red and black, thigh-high socks and kimono blouses with dainty prints.<\/p>\n Elizabeth Elwood<\/strong><\/p>\n Toronto designer Jakelia Elwood founded her line, which is named after her mother Elizabeth, in 2015. For Spring\/Summer 2016, the George Brown College fashion design graduate unveiled a collection of bohemian inspired 1970s trends. On the runway, this translated into sheer mid-length frocks detailed with embellishment, white maxi skirts and halter jumpsuits in shades of grey.<\/p>\n With Love Lingerie<\/strong><\/p>\n Headed by Toronto-based womenswear designer Carrie Russell, With Love Lingerie was founded in 2010. The brand draws its inspiration from decades of the past, including the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. For this season, Russell revealed a Mercy collection that compared the beautiful stained glass art of the Catholic church to silky smooth fabrics. The runways featured sheer black undergarments accented with red floral embroidery, flowing black dresses, tulle hemlines and cropped lingerie inspired tops.<\/p>\n Starkers Corsetry<\/strong><\/p>\n Toronto corsetiere and designer Dianna DiNoble launched Starkers Corsetry in 1992, and just launched her new mini collection Undressed Lingerie. Staying true to the evening\u2019s sexy theme, her latest lingerie featured a unique variety of bras and panties. Models graced the runway in glittering pink lingerie, elegant white feathers and lacy black stockings.<\/p>\n Lococina <\/strong><\/p>\n Ottawa-based designer Helena Jones founded Lococina in 2006, and runs the label in partnership with her sister, Mila Mumuldi. Lococina finds its design inspiration in the early Canadian nomadic lifestyle, and showcased a mix of leather and fur on the catwalks. From slick black leather trousers to furry jackets, the newest designs combined textures and materials.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
