The kickoff for me for LG Fashion Week (Toronto Fashion Week) would be tomorrow’s presentation of Greta Constantine’s S/S ‘10 at Downtown Audi. Not sure who Greta Constantine is yet? Here are the deets:

Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong met in Toronto, Canada and became fast friends.

 

Kirk, a stylist by trade based in Milan, Italy, has worked for international designers such as Dsquared2 and Neil Barrett. He’s a guest teacher at the renowned ISTITUTO MARANGONI in Milan.

 

Stephen began his career as a costume designer in Toronto for Susan Dicks & Co. and has made clothing for several films such as THE LAST DAY OF DISCO, AMERICAN PSYCHO, GLITTER, CHICAGO and currently HAIRSPRAY, starring John Travolta.

 

Stephen’s draping and design expertise, paired with Kirk’s knowledge of fashion forecasting resulted in a business partnership and the establishment of GRETA CONSTANTINE in 2005. Even though the two live on opposite sides of an ocean, they manage to communicate daily via Windows® Messenger™ meetings.

The duo have started to make some big waves in the Canadian fashion industry, having outfitted the contestants of Canada’s Next Top Model for a FASHION Magazine photoshoot (memorable – all the dresses were in a gorgeous white, paired with B2 cage pumps).

While the showing of “THE COLLECTION” tomorrow is invite only, BRANDD Thursday will be the official afterparty at Cheval.
