One amazing part of this job is that we get to attend all sorts of press events. My favourites are the fashion previews, where we get a sneak peek at collections that will be in stores the following season. It’s sort of like window shopping with hors d’oeuvres.
Right now many retailers are unveiling their fall/winter 2009 lines. Some of the trends we’re seeing for fall are chunky knits, strong shoulders and rocker-inspired pieces.
Yesterday I hit the Quicksilver Women preview, which was held at an adorable gallery space in downtown Toronto. There are some amazing pieces in their fall 2009 collection including several universally flattering boho tops and a great Edie Sedgwick-inspired oversized striped sweater.
