Melissa Nepton Dazzles Toronto Fashion Week with her Couture Collection

Canadian born Melissa Nepton hit Toronto Fashion week with a bang, with her ready-to-wear couture for chic, urban, career women. The collection reflected both personality and style; she aims at showcasing both femininity and expression.
That is why when I got the chance to see her show I was pleasantly surprised. Surprised to see a new designer, and to find so many things that I would wear everyday. This show was even more memorable to me because it was my first time being able to sit front row at the Toronto Fashion week, which was an honour.
Her chic stylish looks included pieces like high collars, oversized sweaters, and loose and feminine blouses in neutrals, creams, and shades of grey and black. For a country like Canada, it can be difficult to look good in warm sweaters. Melissa successfully created a number of stylish pieces for a couture fall/winter look. I will be sure to look for any retailers who carry her collection next fall when outfitting myself for the winter season.

“Aint nobody dope as me, I’m just so fresh and so clean!” Atlanta hip-hop artists Outkast played as the seats filled with eager fashionistas ready to see the new Joe Fresh collection. The Joe Fresh popularity seems to grow each year, and Joe Mimran’s line did not disappoint. Using the 1966 movie Blow-Up as his inspiration, his line instilled a sexy, sixties-couture vibe, serving up more than just a smile and apple pie. Pieces from this season featured graphic white and black patterns, knee-high patent boots and boxy structured handbags.
