The event will run from March 28 to April 1, 2010  and showcase Fall/Winter 2010 Collections from some of Canada’s best designers such as David Dixon, Pink Tartan and more.

I am so excited that it is my 15th season at Fashion Week working for the L’Oreal Creative Beauty Team and doing these amazing shows!

alfred sung bridal fashion week1Alfred Sung Fashion WeekIt was a pleasure and honour to do the makeup look on the lead model for the esteemed designer Alfred Sung’s Bridal show at Toronto Fashion Week.

Alfred Sung loved the looks at the show so much that he made the Fashion Week photos and videos as the key ad campaign for his Bridal line.  More at alfredsungbridals.com.

The first photo was also featured as an editorial in Today’s Bride 30th Anniversary Edition.

We had the privilege to be involved with Queen St. Unmasked again this year, a fundraiser for the Center of Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).  This year’s event was a huge success and raised nearly $600,000 for the CAMH Redevelopment project.  We were responsible for adding glamour and excitement for the client’s event by creating event theme looks on each of our 8 models who helped sell raffle tickets ($18 K) and foster CAMH awareness to event attendees.
