Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe beyond gorgeous knitwear of Line defies our idea of woolens every season. For their Fall 2011 presentation models looked like heroines you'd see at a train station in an Evelyn Waugh adaptation, rather than winter refugees in a mountain hideaway scene. The makeup furthered that 1930s, English countryside feeling.

While the flashy fabrics were definitely eye catching, the long silver nails flickering from the models fingers were consistently pulling our attention.

We learned a little cheat backstage watching Eric Del Monaco do this style. To give hair the appearance of deeply waved, pin-backed hair there's no need to curl the entire head. The back half of models' hair was roughed up...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis week on the Style Collective we had a good laugh at some of the beauty habits we women love and men love to hate. A much safer area (we think) is home decor, and we gave some thought to adding some small touches like intricate candle holders or using wallpaper in an unexpected way.

For their Fall 2011 runway presentation at LG Fashion Week they kept the beauty ethos just as democratic—the luxe for less beauty message on models was said with easy hair and rich, gold eyes.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basBefore models took to the runway in a mix of military tailoring and poofy skirts, they were given a beauty look to mix similar elements of hard and soft. With a sleek and shiny tight topknot and dark full eye the look was decidedly more hard than soft. We're loving this more controlled version of the topknot we usually see in a messy nest on so many girls heads (we mean that as a compliment,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSheer fabrics took the form of buttoned blouses and ruffled dresses, adorned with peekaboo appliqués, satin paneling or as some designers envisioned, spare and revealing.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basEvery little bit of warmth makes a difference come winter when you live in the Great White North, and we can't wait to cozy up in these thick, chic-spun knit dresses.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFlashing down the Fall runways at Toronto fashion week were skirts in all manner of fringe, feather, 3D flower appliqué, and metallic strips. The effect was magpie syndrome—we wanted to fly off right then with the shiny slivered skirts, or in the case of Pink Tartan's feathers take them home to our aviary to roost.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIf there's one investment we never regret, it's a winter coat. A coat that keeps out the chill with a vibrant hue (the neoprene orange overcoats at Joe Fresh made a huge impact on the crowds when they first appeared) or create a cocoon-like form that allows plenty of room for layering, like those designed by Jeremy Laing, Vawk and Lundström. The coats that felt freshest were full...
