Great Fashion, Great Gatsby

With the grand premier of Baz Luhrmann's long-awaited The Great Gatsby just over a week away, I feel that it is appropriate to acknowledge the great revival of 1920s-inspired fashion that it has sparked. I may have thought the jazz-age fad was just that: a fad, but to my pleasant surprise the twenties are still roaring down the runways. Long, layered strands of pearls paired with drop-waist frocks, geometric patterns, flirtatious headpieces, and art deco inspired jewels have once again become the go-to look for a night on the town.

Check out the looks below for some ideas.

Enjoy!

ITG and Isabelle Bellis show you how to wash your face!

Washing your face...

seems simple right?

wrong!

It is a common misconception that washing your face isen't all that important and that the method you use doesn't really matter.

Into the Gloss recently created a two part video series with New York City facialist Isabelle Bellis who, to be perfectly honest, is a total skincare genius.

I invite you to check out the amazingly helpful videos and learn a little more about how to properly take care of your skin. You have to take care of your skin if you really want it to keep looking great when you're older. It starts with the proper products and application.

Enjoy the videos!

For this years' theme, students were asked to consider the evolution of fashion - starting with the foundation of classic garment design, and then looking at how design has evolved with modernity and innovation. 
Thus, the show is devided into two portions: first showcasing classically inspired designs, then innovative modern designs.

Graphic Design: Eva Young

During the intermission, guests are invited to purchase baked goods, Bridgehead coffee, and products from our various vendors, all while enjoying the sound of the student band The Tall Trees.

MFW Day 4 RECAP!

Montreal Fashion Week Day 4 Recap
And here it is! My fourth and final daily recap of MFW. Make sure to keep checking back for my big post covering the entire week! It's coming, I promise! To be honest, day 4 was my least favorite day. I just found that the energy was not as present there as it was the other 3 days. However, I did very much enjoy the Harricana show and I liked seeing what student designers are doing at the Telio bursary show.

Harricana:
As a skiier, I definitely enjoyed this outerwear company's beautiful and cozy-looking clothing! The show was completed with skies by Rossignol and everything looked so wonderfully wearable. Harricana definitely makes winter dressing fun and chic! 

Telio Bursary Show:

It was alot of fun to see the creations of various fashion design students from across the country! Many talented young people out there and a few were there to represent my own fashion school which was cool. Some really beautiful designs; I just had trouble taking pictures because most of them were mainly white! 

I hope you enjoyed this and keep your eyes peeled for my final big post on the whole week!
