While we still have three weeks of summer left, a sneak peek at Nine West’s autumn 2016 line up has rekindled our love for cold weather footwear. From flat loafers to sky-high thigh-highs, every shoe at the AW16 preview we attended this past week was glamorously finished with tassels, carved details or a patent finish. A dominant theme this upcoming season seems to be a sense of exploration, with each shoe including elements like highly textured soles, woolen linings, and snakeskin textures to encourage wanderlust.

TFW Thinks Outside the Box with Beauty.
Toronto Fashion Week took David Pecaut Square by storm last month, bringing Canada’s most fashionable to the downtown core. With the reputation of being one of the most diverse cities in the world, Toronto embraced it’s multiculturalism with a diverse cast of models and designers.
Plagiarism at PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week.
Feeha Jamshed returned to Pakistan’s runway at the recently concluded PFDC Pakistan Fashion Week with “Bomb Squad” after a two year hiatus. While taking time away from her own label, she spent her years working with Mahira Khan of Ho Mann Jahaan and Bin Roye. Despite the debut of an eye catching collection, Jamshed’s return was sullied when her cornerstone Bomb Squad prints got the designer accused of plagiarism. What do you think?

Elegance at Finezza.
Ivan Lehec has a long history with fashion. Having worked in high-end retail for years, Lehec noticed many of his male customers were in need of personalized lessons in style, which weren’t easily available. On this principle, he founded Finezza: Au Nom L’Homme. We had a chance to attend the debut of his upcoming Autumn/Winter 2016 collection, and here’s what we saw.
the Beauties of London Fashion Week.
The gauntlet of consecutive fashion weeks is almost over, with only Milan remaining. While we’re sad to see it go, staying on top of what to wear next season can be exhausting. So, after trying to make sense of the hugely varying themes seen on the runways of New York Fashion Week, we were glad to see only two major themes reoccurring in the backstage beauty scene at London Fashion Week.
From Ragbags to Riches: NYFW AW2016.
In hindsight, every decade has a standout style defining it, the sixties had mod culture, the hippie era dominated the seventies, we saw punk in the eighties, and the birth of punk’s more subdued counterpart with grunge in the nineties. But as we get closer to contemporary fashion, it gets harder to define, leaving some critics claiming we are following a “no trend” trend. With global fashion weeks coming to a close, there is no better time to define our current era of fashion.
