Toronto Fashion Week Spring 2013: Ashtiani, Evan Biddell, the Mercedes Benz start-up winner & Melissa Nepton

A look from the Ashtiani show at Toronto Fashion Week.

Here are some of my favourite things from Day 2 of Toronto Fashion Week:

1) The Ashtiani Spring/Summer 2013 collection was gorgeous—think clean lines, a feminine, ’60s inspired vibe, geometric shapes and pretty pastels.

2) This lady in red, created by the Mercedes-Benz start-up winner Duy Nguyen. Duy wowed the audience with his stylish crochets, sharp blazers, and pops of peplum. Congrats!

3) The return of Evan Biddell. Let’s face it—we at ELLE Canada have always had a soft spot for the maverick designer (what’s up, Project Runway Canada!) so it was great to see him back on the schedule. I particularly loved his opening look, worn by Madison Schill—a silk, jungle print maxi.

The models at Biddell were walking so fast it was hard to catch a clear shot.

4) I loved the horizontal stripes at the Melissa Nepton show. In fact, they reminded me of a stylish version of one of my all-time favourite movie characters: Beetlejuice!
