FASHION | Kollar Clothing Holiday Collection

Toronto has a great up-and-coming fashion scene and I love supporting local brands—there are tons of designers in the city who are making some really awesome clothing. One of which is Kollar Clothing, "The Black Sheep Of Garments." This week they launched their holiday collection, now available online. I wish I had a boyfriend to dress because I would definitely snag a few of these pieces for him!

SNEAK PEEK: Kollar Clothing S/S 2013

| FASHION NEWS |

Last year, I had the opportunity to attend Kollar Clothing's Autumn & Fall fashion show (view that blog post HERE) and since then I've been following their journey to success in the fashion world. From intricate detailing and stunning tailoring, Kollar Clothing is definitely a clothing line to keep an eye on.

A bit about Kollar Clothing:

-------------

/BELIEFS

Kollar Clothing is an art form rather than piece of cloth that is worn. Most of our time is spent on perfecting the fit and the construction of the garments. Each piece is made for the bold individual, to create a unique garment with details only a good eye can catch. Our aim is to separate ourselves from the ordinary and create garments with no rules or boundaries. Kollar Clothing only distributes the garments to handpicked boutiques with a strong sense of lifestyle, to keep the richness of the brand alive. Kollar is not only a lifestyle but a brand where unusual details meet incomparable fabrics.

Yours Truly,

THE BLACK SHEEP OF GARMENTS

The highly anticipated release of Kollar Clothing's S/S 2013 collection will be featuring shorts, denim pants, tank tops, t-shirts, V-necks, button-ups, crew neck sweaters and hoodies. This new collection involves a lot of settled double stitch dye to match threads, which is only visible up close. That's something I love about their clothing - it all comes down to the details and thought that went into each piece. They also use reverse sides of unique fabrics for garments to showcase a more washed-out vintage look.

Kollar Clothing Fashion Show!

Hey everyone!

Last night, I was fortunate enough to attend the fantastic Kollar Clothing fashion show that took place in the historic Distillery District at the Airship 37 Venue. I was invited as media by the line's designer and co-founder David Kollar and team member David Forteau. David Kollar co-founded the line with Gerald Aquintey. I was so impressed with the entire event, from the venue to the clothes, and they even showcased a performance by the Moon Runners (a well known dance crew in Toronto).

Anyways, here are some photos from the show!
