TORONTO FASHION WEEK: HOLT RENFREW S/S 2013

Holt Renfrew’s men’s and women’s runway show was a conglomeration of trendy pieces for both fall/winter 2012 and spring/summer 2013. Though each look was distinct from the next, a clear cohesiveness was attained through the repeated use of coloured furs, burnout velvet, oversized fits, metallic leather, and turtlenecks. Though it was quite clearly a glorified ploy to show us what’s in stores now, the styling was on-point across the board. They even found new ways to wear the Canada Goose jacket! Round of applause.
