On September 25, Real Style had the opportunity to attend the Cashmere 18 Crystal Ball Fashion Show at Arcadian Loft in Toronto. This year marked the 15th anniversary of the show, which supports breast cancer awareness and also features a runway with Canadian designers. For 2018, emerging design talents like Oscar Mendoza, Candace Daniela, Fesvedy and Mani Jassal brought their creations to the catwalk. The event featured intricate, eveningwear-like designs that were exclusively made from Cashmere bathroom tissue.  

Lately, the True North has become home to a number of rising fashion design stars. For Canadian fashionistas, wearing local fashion has become easier than ever, with a plethora of options to choose from. Recently, Real Style sat down with up-and-coming designers Ronald Tam of Vandal, Karen Quirion of KQK and Candace Daniela Lau to learn more about trends, inspiration and idols.

Real Style caught up with rising designer Candace Daniela Lau at Toronto Men’s Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2017. Here’s what Lau had to say about blurring the gender lines in fashion, her signature aesthetic and her favourite Canadian design talent.

While we’ve all heard of Canadian design talents like David Dixon and Farley Chatto, a number or rising names will also be making a mark at Toronto Fashion Week. From Candace Daniela to WRKDEPT, here are a few rising Canuck designers to keep a keen sartorial eye on this season.
