Andy Thê-Anh’s collection is for ladies who lunch at Holts and dinner at One
Andy Thê-Anh’s runway show was trotted out before a standing-room-only crowd at the Allstream Centre last night. The show was typical Thê-Anh and a departure from last season, when he chose instead to show a presentation (wherein models stand around in clothes and buyers and media can get a closer look). He played to his audience of wealthy Yorkville women (he recently opened a new store in the area) by creating designs best worn to lunch at Holts and dinner at One. Runway looks played with military influences, like army jackets, tuxedo shirts and camo-like prints, contrasted by feminine touches. We could have done with a few less frills (ruffles, pleats, layering and folding all played a huge part), but we’re sure the ladies of Rosedale will flock.

Andy Thê-Anh’s runway show was trotted out before a standing-room-only crowd at the Allstream Centre last night. The show was typical Thê-Anh and a departure from last season, when he chose instead to show a presentation (wherein models stand around in clothes and buyers and media can get a closer look). He played to his audience of wealthy Yorkville women (he recently opened a new store in the area) by creating designs best worn to lunch at Holts and dinner at One. Runway looks played with military influences, like army jackets, tuxedo shirts and camo-like prints, contrasted by feminine touches. We could have done with a few less frills (ruffles, pleats, layering and folding all played a huge part), but we're sure the ladies of Rosedale will flock.

Is it any wonder that we don’t see ourselves as world class but rather a poor country cousin to New York or Europe. Are these photos really the best that we could do? The problem is the very bad lighting on the show – it does nothing to assist these photos, they are too dark, the clothes all look like drab, black, terxtureless,bags without detail or depth to give definition. Surely, someone could have been hired for professional lighting on a fashion runway or at least the photographer could have been accominated to setup a space to light each model for photo’s. These photo’s do nothing for the clothes and are an example of our lack of commitment to professionalism and doing things right “yeah go canadians – show us your stuff”
Loved the collection- so dramatic but wearable! Can’t wait to check out the new stores. I live uptown so I was so thrilled to find out that Andy opened a store at Bayview Village!
