The Royal Wedding is Approaching, But What To Wear?

Last week, CTV journalist Sheri Block paid Fashion Crimes a visit in the search for outfits suitable for Wills and Kate's big day.

Belle of the Ball

Last Saturday marked the 45th anniversary of the Brazilian Carnival Ball; an event filled with entertainment, bright colours, and over the top fashion. Naturally, Lorraine Zander, editor-in-chief for Faze Magazine, came to Fashion Crimes to find the right look for such a spectacular event. Wearing a bullet gown in peacock tulle fabric with gold accessories, Lorraine did nothing but turn heads, and even caught the attention of Dereck Chetty, fashion reporter for the Toronto Star.
Lorraine looks absolutely stunning; she makes our job so easy!!

Offbeat Brides Are the Best Kind of Brides!

We love it when a bride-to-be walks into Fashion Crimes with the intention of going down the non-traditional route; a wedding should be a reflection of you, as opposed to what the latest bridal magazine tells you to be. Offbeatbride.com is a wonderful website dedicated to aiding these "unconventional" weddings, offering many stories, pictures, and links to make the wedding planning process easy, and most of all stress-free. It was certainly no shocker to see two beautiful brides dressed in Fashion Crimes dresses appearing on the website. Click HERE to read the article!Rebecca and Aelish look as happy as they do beautiful, wearing a red and black embroidered silk Jezebeltivoli and a purple Oscar dress. You can find that great necklace and headpiece at Fashion Crimes too!

Vanessa Milan, an art director who was also nominated that night, found the perfect dress to wear at Fashion Crimes. She choose a black sequin strapless dress, which has a hint of tulle under the skirt for that extra hint of awesome.

RIGHT NOW: Sammy Hagar Wishes He Got the Phone Numbers of These Lovely Ladies!

The incredibly talented gals of Magneta Lane presented an award with the one and only Sammy Hagar, best known for being one of the lead singers for Van Halen, at the CMW Indie Awards last month. Once again, we dressed all three women in gorgeous Fashion Crimes dresses, and judging by the ear to ear grin on Mr. Hagar's face, I think we did a great job! Magneta Lane is an awesome band (we are huge fans!!); the next time you shop at Fashion Crimes chances are you will get to groove to their music while trying on dresses. Click HERE to see their music videos; the most recent titled Shatter was co-directed by French!
