On
February 6th at the recently restored historic Toronto venue, The Great Hall, THE COLLECTIONS presented night one of RE\SET, featuring some of
Canada’s top fashion designers. The showcase was revealed in an innovative
format in an effort to reset the thinking around how fashion is presented.
Designers
including Sid Neigum, Markoo, Klaxon Howl and Pedram
Karimi, all presented their selected looks from current and recent
collections.
Sid
Neigum showcased eight monochromatic looks in black, white and red from his
spring/summer ’17 collection. Toronto-based duo, Markoo put on an impressive
show in the Conversation Room showing a stunning collection that focused on
pants, outerwear and textured pieces. Klaxon Howl’s men’s wear could be seen
downstairs, where the static presentation is projected an air of strength and
masculinity of 1960’s Frenchmen mixed South American rebel. Signature
avant-garde brand, Pedram Karimi closed off the night with a show accompanied
by eccentric musical performance by Montreal-baed singer Apigeon who, while
singing, undressed and redressed in various designs on stage, helped by two
male models that tended to her every need.
