2010 Fashion

Last year Purple was the Hottest color that gained much attention from the fashionistas all over the globe. If you ask us Purple will always be the number one choice of fashion statement. Its Bold, its sexy it’s a perfect way to say I look good and I can make you look good standing next to me!

Its seems though that we’ll have to wait for the 2010 Fashion week to figure out what to look forward to in this new year. I’m sure those in the know have an idea but no one can really predict the outcome of the fashion world.

What we are really waiting to see is what the fashion designers have in stock for us for 2010. Will it be futuristic? Will it be the neo classic look? Or will we go wild western?

What would be exciting to see is a combination of all three, what artist would have the guts to combine all and make it a success?

Nevertheless we hope that this years fashion will be a fun and exciting adventure we salute the success of Canadian fashion in the 2010 year

Project Runway Canada's Brandon Dwyer

On the second season of Global’s reality series Project Runway Canada, we had to say goodbye to Brandon after only four episodes. Brandon stood out from the other cast members for his creative designs, not knowing legendary designers, and smoking lots of cigarettes in between. I had a chance to interview Brandon and ask him a few questions.

KiD BRO: Hey Brandon, I want to start by asking what was your last favorite fashion purchase?

Brandon: My shiny black high tops!

Who is your fashion icon?
YSL..just kidding!!! I would have to say I J'adore Angelina's style right now

What designers do you love at the moment?
Zac Posen, Wayne Clark, and Oscar De La Renta

Favorite Fashion blog?
Is this a trick question? I try not to read fashion blogs, so it’s hard to say.

Did you always want to be a designer?
The idea of being a fashion designer never popped into my head until I was 18. But in a way I have always been designing womens clothing just through different mediums.

What did you think of being on the show and did it meet your expectations?
I thought it was a great experience, and it definitely was everything I thought it was going to be and more.

What was the most difficult part being on the show?
It was extremely difficult coming up with a solid idea and creating your idea to the fullest extent in such limited time frames. But, that’s the whole idea of the show right?

How was it watching yourself on television?
I thought it was way too funny! I couldn’t stop laughing!!

Who were you closest to on the show? Any lasting friendships made?
I’m extremely close to Jessica Biffi, I think the friendship we have will last forever. She is an amazing person and an extremely talented designer.

About your last episode, did you feel the show accurately showed what really happened?
I think they did a great portrayal of what occurred during the taping of that episode. The only thing I was slightly upset about was that they made it out to seem I did not know who YSL was...which was not the case, I just was not overly familiar with his work.

At elimination you were put on the spot for not being familiar with YSL, if you could go back would you have said anything different to Iman and the other judges?

Yes WU Can!

by Paul Frost
When Michelle Obama, now the First Lady, walked onto the stage for her husband's Inaugural Ball, she looked stunningly beautiful. She wore the gown designed by a young talent named Jason Wu. Wu said he designed the dress with "hope, a feeling of newness, a dream like quality to the gown and making a moment of history".

Like everyone else that night, Wu was sitting at home eating pizza with friends and taking in the monumental moment. What he didn't know was that the first lady was about to glide out wearing his design. Michelle Obama gloriously wore the white, one-shouldered ball gown that Wu had hopefully dreamnt into creation for this very moment in history.

Wu had no warning, not even a hint that Michelle would be wearing his design.
Wu was working with Ikram Goldman from Ikram in Chicago, to design a dress for Michelle for a formal occasion. The only memo he got was that the dress had to sparkle.

Jason never had the opportunity to meet Michelle but when he finished the dress, he personally delivered it to Chicago. The dress laid on his lap during the entire flight.
Wu recalled "there was no way I was checking it in." So when Jason was watching the Inaugural Ball he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Michelle wearing his one-of-a-kind gown.

This truly shows the kind of woman Michelle is and the kind of First Lady she will be. She could have picked anyone from Valentino to Armani, as she undoubtedly had all the fashion houses hoping she would choose one of their gowns. But she went with a young designer of 26 years old, probably knowing that this moment would change his life as well.
All this power in one dress, its incredible.

Jason Wu was born and raised in Taipei and came to Vancouver when he was a boy. At age nine he learned how to sew, draft patterns and sketch. He later went to study fashion in Tokyo and finished his senior year of high school in Paris, where he realized his dreams of becoming a fashion designer. Next, Wu enrolled in the prestigious Parsons School of Design. Parsons alumni includes Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, Narciso Rodriguez, the list goes on. In January 2008 and July 2008 he was nominated as a finalist for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.

Now, Jason is gearing up for Fashion week, his sixth show, and biggest one yet. He will have more press then ever before and be one of the hottest and most anticipated shows. The world knows who he is now and will be waiting to see what he will do next. Fingers crossed Michelle will be at Fashion week sitting in the first row at Jason's upcoming show.
