<\/a><\/p>\nDavid Dixon <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The established Toronto-based eveningwear designer partnered up with surgeon Dr. John Semple from Women\u2019s College Hospital, and drew his inspiration from a painting created by the doctor. Dixon\u2019s latest line paid tribute to women battling breast cancer, with colours integrated into his collection that were inspired by Semple\u2019s painting. Models floated down the runway in watercolour shades of pastel blue, yellow and coral. From dresses with dainty ruffles to strapless ivory gowns with peplum waists, femininity and grace were in the air.<\/p>\n Farley Chatto <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Festive energy stole the energy at Farley Chatto, where the Toronto couture designer and furrier presented a 30th<\/sup> anniversary presentation. The Farley Chatto runway was resplendent with figure-skimming gold gowns, sequined violet frocks and naturally, the designer\u2019s signature furs. Short fur jackets were worn over evening gowns, with embellished shoulder-dusting earrings to turn up the glamour factor. Befitting the celebration on the catwalk, models wrapped up the show by strutting the runway as they carried champagne flutes. They were joined by a jubilant Chatto, who poured champagne into glasses for two guests in the front row, his face matching the excitement and emotion of the high-drama collection.<\/p>\n Joseph Tassoni<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Montreal-born designer Joseph Tassoni is known for his outerwear, and his latest line for Fall 2018 lived up to expectations. Tossing the idea of dull autumn neutrals aside, the designer\u2019s \u201cWinter Garden – Colours Frozen in Time\u201d featured kaleidoscope brights. From furry blue vests to bright purple wool coats, every colour of the rainbow made an appearance.<\/p>\n Lesley Hampton<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The young First Nations designer is quickly becoming known for her focus on diversity, inclusivity and feminism. This time around, Hampton featured a theme of We Are In Control, with women of all sizes, shapes and ages and an emphasis on mental health awareness. Among these models was Margaret Trudeau, mother of Justin Trudeau, who walked elegantly in a bohemian style printed frock. Hampton\u2019s collection also featured her signature metallic sequined dress, black dresses with sheer hemlines and satin bomber jackets emblazoned with a \u201cWe Are In Control\u201d theme.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
