Snapshots from the Second Row

This past weekend Ottawa's fashion elite were out in full force attending Ottawa Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012. I had the pleasure of attending for a night, and thankfully that night was Saturday. The lineup was stacked; I had the opportunity to see all of my favourite designers, and was introduced to a couple of new ones.

I absolutely love Ottawa Fashion Week if not just for the runway shows but for the people watching - it's so inspiring to see how some people put together such eclectic yet amazing ensembles. I always end up feeling inspired to try something new and unexpected.

Please, bear with me, I have yet to master the art of taking good pictures with my iPhone, so here I give you a sampling of some of my least blurry shots from the second row.

DeMOYO 


This is the second time I've had the pleasure of seeing DeMOYO and just like last season I was not disappointed with what she sent down the runway. Her designs were a great combination of chic and ladylike, but with edge; you know the DeMOYO woman is a powerful woman.







Jana Hanzel and Emilia Torabi

Their latest collection, Coup de Foudre, was a drastic departure from Spring 2012's Tubalange, but was just as stunning and superbly crafted - exactly what you expect from Hanzel and Torabi Designs. The line was incredibly rich, from the fabric choices and patterns to colours - lots of brocade, leopard print and velvets all in rich jewel tones - and each look was topped off with a chic hat.


Eliz Bourk 

This was by far my favourite collection of the night, I want every single piece that walked the runway. The colours were so vivid and the designs so youthful and fun. From the first look to the last I was enthralled.





Rachel Sin

I also loved Rachel Sin's collection, but apparently my phone did not. Sadly, these are the only two non-blurry pictures I was able to get - but trust me her designs, as always, were stunning!

With just six months to go until the Spring/Summer 2013 collections, I'd better get started on my iPhone photo skills - not a fashionable moment to spare.
