Bustle, Joe Fresh and David Dixon: A Few Final Fashion Week Notes

We’re wrapping up our Fashion Week notes here on the AOF blog – better late than never, right? For this last installation, we checked out three hot Canadian labels: Bustle, Joe Fresh and David Dixon. Unfortunately we don’t have photos this time, but we’re sending some link love over to favourite Toronto blog, BlogTO, who got tons of coverage.

Bustle
The Toronto design team behind Bustle are known for their sportswear, and the 2010 line was looking very posh with vests, straight-leg pants and military detail on blazers and pea coats. Mixed textures like velvet, knit and cotton, combined with V-necks and checkered shirts looked right on trend for geek chic. Purples, blues and greys prevailed. Tons of photos over at BlogTO.

Joe Fresh
Everyone’s favourite grocery store fashion destination had an eclectic mix for 2010. Faux fur prevailed, as did preppy academic styles… and all so delightfully affordable. Check out the BlogTO review.

David Dixon
Canadian design institution (and former Art of Fashion judge) David Dixon did not disappoint with an elegant collection of mainly black evening wear with beautiful structural silhouettes set off by feathers, shrugs, capes and bold, statement jewellery. To see his collection in fantastic detail, check out – you got it – BlogTO here.
