Aritzia F/W Fashion Show

Hi Loves,
First, as a disclaimer, this is the longest post I have ever done and likely will ever do.This past Tuesday I was invited to the Artizia Fall/Winter fashion show and attending the first night with a few friends.
Courtney is one of the most stylish girls I know! Every time I see her she's got a new nail polish on that I immediately want. Love the dark brown (that's even coordinated with her Coca Cola) & also her MM6 dress(I wore: a Thrifted jacket, Zara dress & Miu Miu clogs)

---
The next day I was invited to attend the fashion show again, but this time to hang out backstage, see the behind the scenes action and also wear one of the new dresses from the collection throughout the night. It was great to see the clothes up close, and also experience the incredible amount of work that goes on behind the scenes. The Aritzia girls are all so stylish and great at their jobs - not to mention super nice, allowing me to take as many photos as I wanted, even though I kept getting in their way!

(Some of my favourite pieces. The mustard crepe shorts and velvet jacket are total statement pieces and the photos really don't do them justice. The Wilfred Free knits are so soft, perfect for curling up in this winter. My favourites were the leather shorts, I can't wait for them to hit stores!)

(Loved all these models, they were all very gracious and good humoured even when I snapped them eating [believe it or not] bagels before the show!)

(All the attendees pre- show. Couldn't believe how fashionable the crowd was.)

(Love all these looks. Courtney and I are both wearing Le Fou by Wilfred and Natalie is in Talula. I felt like a giant next to these two girls!)

(Some shots backstage just before the show. Loved the accessories that were paired with the Aritzia clothes.)

When my camera battery died after getting a little too snap-happy backstage, a lovely Aritzia employee named Tess (who I mistook for one of the models!) was kind enough to lend me her little camera. I apologize for the quality! (The clothes were all incredible, the Talula and Community brand pieces were everything I imagine wearing to classes next year, while the Wilfred and Le Fou by Wilfred were perfect in their shapes and use of incredibly soft silks and crepes. My favourite outfit was the mustard yellow jacket with the slinky, slightly ombre slip underneath.)

(A few Aritzia employees and I wore the new collections after the show along with Swedish Hasbeens clogs, which are now sold at Aritzia.)

The night was a great experience, I had so much fun previewing the new collections and making a mental list of all the pieces I'm buying for fall. Huge thanks to Daniela, Cher and everyone else at Aritzia for allowing me to attend (and for letting me keep the dress!).

Post script


A small word of advice for Orlando before I go:

The days when you can call the photographers to take photos of you and your latest script and look like you don't want them there are long gone...... even when you do try to authenticate the experience with a one fingered salute, though i have to congratulate you on your lack of subtlety!

Oh, and you might want to have a word with someone about Ted C- he keeps doing the most cracking one liners about you and your new wife, though my favourite is still the business deal one :D

I'm Outta here


Its all got too much, first the super sekrit wedding, then the super sekrit honeymoon, then the super sekrit second honeymoon (which Orlando is apparently spending with his Ducati) and now a super sekrit baby.....

ONLY JOKING

Just away from a computer for a week.... I'm hoping that I'll come back to not only a super sekrit baby but also a super sekrit divorce... I know, its probably a bit quick even for them - but on the plus side it would mean they got into the gossip rags (something their antics so far have singularly failed to do by all accounts, despite their best efforts) as the worlds fastest relationship lifespan: Engagement, Marriage, Honeymoon, Pregancy, Divorce all in the space of 6 weeks!

Something to think about perhaps OB?

Dr D- Kerr and his Ducati


Not on a second super secret honeymoon yet then?

I think they are very lucky that Ted is taking such an interest in them - it keeps us all talking about their antics if nothing else!
