I know I was on hiatus for so long but I am back with a quick little series to start your new year off right. I mean, even though I didn't write doesn't mean that I blocked myself off from all things fashion. I spent many, many hours working and spent my breaks poring over magazines and sites. As a result of this ransacking, I have come out with a list of the designers that I think are destined for great things this year.
Rachel Sin
I have a really soft spot for this Toronto-based designer because she is just the sweetest person I've ever met. I interviewed this bubbly designer a few months ago for FAJO Magazine and just fell in love with her designs. The former architecture is all about structure and well built garments - a winning combination for any designer. Her specialty is found in her stunning caged back dresses with an exposed zipper, which really shows off her expert craftsmanship and her attention to detail.
Her Spring/Summer 2012 collection was to die for. I remember live tweeting about it at Ottawa Fashion Week and struggling because I COULD NOT take my eyes off the clothes.
I'm selfishly hoping she's back in Ottawa for the Fall/Winter 2012 shows, but if she's in Toronto, I will be making that trek out there.
