BFW2011: Daniela Corte

Boston Fashion Week ended with a bang on Friday September 30, when Daniela Corte's collection came down the runway.  It was one of the most exciting events, the TENT was completely sold out and filled to the brim.

Here are my favourites!

BFW2011: Daniela Corte

The big finale of Boston Fashion Week took place on Friday September 30, when Daniela Corte took place on centre stage.

What a close! It was one of the most exciting events, the TENT was completely sold out and filled to the brim.

Here's just a teaser of the show to come. Whose shoes?

We were trying to figure out what the lady on the left was wearing. Anyone know?* The other two are the designers :) Smashing!

*(They are Charlotte Olympia colourblock satin pumps, thanks Luke who commented on Fashionhogger)

BFW2011: Carter Smith

On the final night of Boston Fashion Week, one of the most colourful shows took place in The Tent at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.  The Carter Smith show.

Carter Smith's Shibori process (Japanese dyeing technique by way of manipulating the fabric then dyeing it) results in a one of a kind, rich fabric, which is then sewn in a way that flatters every figure.

Here are some of my favourites.

BFW2011: Second Time Around

Boston Fashion Week has been filled with amazing collections; with one of the most unique being the Second Time Around show.

BFW2011: Jeff Lahens

It's been so much fun shooting in the press pit at Boston Fashion Week!

On Thursday September 29, Jeff Lahens' show took centre stage in The Tent at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Boston. The collection was his own as well as a collaboration with Uniform, Bobby from Boston and Drinkwaters. What an incredibly good time! Everyone was pumped; the tunes were upbeat and the models had PROPS! PROPS! Jeff Lahens is such a nice guy; we hung out with him for a bit in the lounge after the Carter Smith show on Friday night.

BFW2011: Avni Fashion

It’s been great shooting in Boston Fashion Week 2011!

Last night, Avni Trivedi's show took centre stage in her "Midsummer NIght's Dream" Spring/Summer 2012 collection.  Here, some of the highlights from the show!  Nice work Avni; and thanks for the tickets :)  It was great to meet Amir and his friend who was one of the models in the show.  Great job everyone!
I also ran into fellow Boston Bloggers "A Girl In Boston" and "Style N' Naina", so nice to have finally met you both in person.  And can I say how much I loved those Mallory Musante shoes, too?

BFW2011: Lily & Migs

It's been great shooting in Boston Fashion Week 2011!

Last night, the Lily & Migs show took center stage in The Tent!

Wow.

I've heard chiffon is a difficult material to work with (thanks Project Runway!) so, watching these gorgeous, pleated, fitted, blousy, multiple tiered creations (in chiffon! silk! and georgette!) strutting down the runway was truly a delight.  Such a beautiful collection and those models were rocking some amazing fish-tail braids! 

Here, some of my favourite shots from before the show, during and after.  It was great meeting Jenn of the Jenn & Lauren team behind Lily & Migs!

BOSTON FASHION WEEK (Sept 23 - 30 2011)

I'm happy to announce that I'll be shooting in the press pit at Boston Fashion Week this year!

Stay tuned for more updates as they happen, here or on Fashionhogger.

 

Boston: Liberty Hotel

Was at the Liberty Hotel in Boston recently, and got to shoot a bit of one of their Fashionably Late fashion shows that took place that night. The designer was Kara Wickman ((www.karawickman.com).

The Liberty Hotel is one of the most beautiful and unique hotels I've ever seen, because of its amazing history. It used to be the Charles Street Jail! It reopened in 2007 as a luxury hotel but has retained most of the historic structure, gorgeously. The restaurant Clink (aptly named) outlines, in granite, the shape of the original cells (grey blocks, below). Also impressive, is the cupola which, had been reduced in size, and then removed altogether in 1949, but has now been rebuilt to the original architect's design.

It was blazing hot and the white powdery sand had enveloped our shoes, but these three looked so polished.

Frugal Fashion Week: I Heart Frocks!

It was a pleasure for me to shoot Frugal Fashion Week's I Heart Frocks! charity event benefitting Windfall, Canada's new clothing and basic-needs items bank. The fashion event took place at Nyood Bar and featured local designers and started off with electronica/pop music by Monnakoe. The fabulous cupcakes were made by Frugal Fashion Week's own founder Gillian Downes!

The evening ended with a Designer Silent Auction featuring frocks and rocks custom-created by emerging designers including Solace, Another Word For Pink, Handsome and Lace, Hypercube, Bikay, Our Lady and The Chains of Love, amongst others.

Thanks for inviting me to shoot this fantastic event Gillian!
