World MasterCard Fashion Week- F/W Day Five

Okay, so this is IT! The last day of World MasterCard Fashion Week was packed with a wide variety of styles- from futuristic minimalism to the mix of modern and retro, from elegant contemporary pieces to dress-to-kill couture dresses... It was no doubt a night that fully turned fashion into satisfaction.

好了,多伦多国际时装周终于在众人瞩目下于周五画下了完美的句号。最后一天可谓是云集了各种风格的设计师啊-从简约现代派到时尚复古风,从高端典雅的时装到性感高级礼服。。。精彩纷呈,是一个把时尚转化为自我满足的完美典范。

BRIT WACHER
------------------------------------------------
Born and raised in Alberta and currently calling Montreal her home, Brittany Wacher definitely did a good job moving fashion forward on her first impression at Toronto Fashion Week. Although I was not familiar with her prior to this fashion event, I did do my homework and some research. Her intense fashion design experience and amazing past-season collections really caught my attention. So I was quite looking forward to see her Fall/Winter 14 collection, and luckily, being able to sit at the front row truly allowed me to closely appreciate her architecturally inspired design and colour blocking drama.  

这个在充满西部牛仔文化的阿省长大的女孩目前定居于蒙特利尔。她首次在多伦多时装周的亮相可以说给人带来了无限的前卫感。尽管在本次时装周之前,我对这个设计师并不了解,但是我也确实做了自己的功课,在网上搜索了一下她的资料。她丰富的时尚经验和前几个季度令人为止惊叹的设计让我对她今年的秋冬系列特别感兴趣。幸运的是,我得以坐在首排来零距离地感受她建筑感非常强悍的设计。

HILARY MACMILLAN 
------------------------------------------------

This was one of the collections that I really wanted to see last season, but due to some personal reasons, I couldn't make it. So I promised myself that I have to be there this time. The modern vibe with a retro twist has always been my cup of tea. So Hilary MacMillan's collection could not be more perfect.

这个是上个季度的时装周里我最期待的一个设计师之一,但由于一些私人原因,当时没能参加。所以这次我就告诉自己一定要去。本来现代与复古相结合的风格就是我的菜,所以她的设计对我来说实在是太完美了。

MATTHEW GALLAGHER
--------------------------------------------
Matthew Gallagher last season's collection really blew me away, so you can probably imagine how excited I was to see his Fall/Winter collection this time. But, it's easier to get disappointed when you have high expectations. And yes, I felt like there was not enough drama and excitement- I was looking for more. Of course, this collection is still beautiful and elegant, but I blame his last collection- it is hard to follow up to something that good.  

马休去年的展出可以说具有催眠的效应,让人欲罢不能,所以你就可以想象我对于他本次的设计有多么期待了。不过,有句话说得好,希望越大,失望也就越大。当然,单看他的本次展出,还是会觉得非常成功且具有特色,但是如果与他的春夏系列相比,我希望可以更具戏剧化,更有杀伤力。

STEPHAN CARAS
--------------------------------

Stephan Caras's show was so packed that many audiences had to stand on the aisles between different sections. And yes, the show was amazing! So many cinderella dresses with a sexy twist made them on the top-wanted list. 

本次史蒂芬的秀可谓是座无虚席,满到连观众席区域之间的走道都站满了人。当然,整场秀非常精彩!T台上出现了许多公主般美丽的裙子却带有性感的元素。可以想象许多女性同胞们肯定都有想要立刻买下的冲动了。

Thank you so much for reading! Attending World MasterCard Fashion Week for the second time was definitely a different experience from the first one. Although it was still as exciting, the surprise and mystery factor was not as strong. Plus, while last time I could be siting in the media lounge by myself and consistently looking at my phone to kill the boredom, this fashion week I actually got to connect with a lot of fashionistas and bloggers and to have some nice conversations.

We are planning a different way to cover the next Toronto fashion week- it will be for sure more exciting! We promise! But before then, stay tuned!

非常感谢您抽时间阅读!这次参加时装周和我第一次的感觉显然完全不同。当然还是同样的激动和兴奋,不过少了一些惊喜和不知所措。同时,上一次在媒体室等待的时候,我都会一个人坐在那里玩手机来消磨时间,这一次我却可以认识各路的时尚达人。

下一次时装周我们会有不同的报道方式。我们保证一定会更加精彩!尽情期待啰!
