Canadian Music Week

Filed under Past Events, Toronto
Wednesday March 21st, Toronto turned up their amps and grabbed their instruments to be a part of Canadian Music Week. The five-day event, running from Wednesday to Sunday is brought together all kinds of Torontonians. The weeklong festival of events hit genres for every music lover making the event a success. Over the few days there were many ways to be a part of the action. Here is a list of some of the main features of Canadian music week, and what makes it so popular.
Conference/Tradeshow(http://www.cmw.net/conference/conferences/)
Canadian Music Week designs their conferences to put you face-to-face with forward-thinkers who shape the entertainment industries – from sound recording, new media, and broadcast to live touring, film, and technology.
CMW Film Festival (http://www.cmw.net/festival/film-festival/)
Canadian Music Week Film Fest presents an eclectic mix of movie premieres, special screenings, retro rarities, and limited engagements. The festival spotlights some of the industry’s hottest new directors, composers, artists, actors and music supervisors.
Music Festival (http://canadianmusicfest.com/)
The Music Festival is stretched far and wide throughout the city in venues big and small. The festival will be featuring local talent, as well as artists from all over the world. The line up of artists is meant to promote the variety of music that is constantly available in Toronto.
Canadian Music Week also featured a comedy festival and this year the festival featured Steve-O from the notoriously known “Jackass” trilogy. So whether it was grabbing a cold beer and watching a concert, or being a part of the CMW Conference, there was plenty of music to go around to every Canadian interested. I know I enjoyed seeing Canada’s own The Sheepdogs perform live.

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.
“Ain’t nobody as dope as me, I’m just so fresh and so clean!”

“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.
