Summer Style: Canadian Designers Hike Up The Hemlines ...

Jennifer on Jul 17, 2008 12:18 PM PDT

With the hot weather upon us, we started to wonder ... how short is too short? Canadian designers are saying be brave and bare it all to beat the heat! Mini dresses are a must-have for the summer of 2008. Our suggestion-- if you can wear it, bare it! Noticing trends for this summer, I'd say that a lot of us are in agreement that there really doesn't have to be a time and place to hike up the hemline. From cocktail events to summer weddings, the mini dress is here all summer long. I love the little mini styles that are hitting shops this summer. And even better is to see that Canadian designers are staying competitive with their daring designs. Out of hundreds of styles, here are our top five favorite short dresses, from casual to cocktail, by five up-and-coming Canadian designers. Enjoy!

Inside Fashion: Behind the Scenes of a Look Book Shoot!

Jennifer on Jun 5, 2008 10:16 AM PDT

Ever feel like grabbing a photographer, your best model, some designer clothing, and heading down to the Toronto waterfront early in the morning for a full day fashion shoot? I knew you did. That's what I did with Greenbaum Clothing! Here are the photos from the Greenbaum Spring/Summer catalog shoot along the Toronto Waterfront. All of the beach shots were done at Kew Beach, Toronto, Ontario Waterfront. The fashion shoot started at about 5am. It looks like a beautiful European sunset on a deserted beach, but it's actually sunrise mid-week. It was such a beautiful day! The harbor was the foot of Bathurst Street, across from the Island airport. Start time was 5am and the designer, model and photographer followed the sun around the port for the shoot. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for some great shots from the designer's look book!
