Carolyn at TFI is ROCKIN!

This posting is SO overdue! Sincere apologies for the lateness...
A few months ago Pam and I had the opportunity to chat with FC friend, Carolyn Rohaly. Among many of the careers that this dynamic chica holds down all at once - Carolyn writes a Diary blog for TFI that is a vast informative "Fashion Business Advisor" in disguise.
For her double feature on FC, she interviewed Pam about the day-to-day life of being a Toronto Fashion designer. It's great, as Pam unfolds all kinds of tid-bits from a behind-the-scene perspective. My interview with Carolyn discusses some of the wonderful duties pertaining to being the General Manager of Fashion Crimes, with some special attention paid to the angle of buying. If you are interested in pursuing a career within the fashion industry, I would highly reccomend these reads among many many more that you will find in her archives.

In addition to living, eating & breathing fashion in all of it's forms, Carolyn is the assistant to film director David Cronenberg. Back in late March he was awarded with France's highest honour, the Legion d'honneur. Both Carolyn and his daughter Caitlin Cronenberg (who, by the way is an enchantress of photography) proudly supported Mr. Cronenberg at the event.

See them both looking gorgeous in their favourite dresses from Fashion Crimes:

Prom #2 Window Display!

We all want to live in this window display! Our brainstorm of key concepts for this one included: British-Punk Fairytale (hence the animal profile trays and kittens!), & 80's teenage Mansion. Please visit the website to see more...

Final Fashion Experiment

Recently the crazy talented and innovative Danielle Meder approached us with an idea that she wanted to test with us. The idea is a collaborative relationship between her ever-evolving [kick-ass] fashion blog and the Fashion Crimes blog that you are currently feasting your eyes upon.

Here are a few reasons why we jumped at the opportunity:

1.) Danielle has been a joy to work with in the past when she created the illustrations for the "Holiday Shopping Soiree" event and the festive sale promo postcard of 2008.

2.) Final Fashion has a wonderful following of authentic Toronto fashion professionals, (It's true... she has the stats to prove it). FC and this group share many commonalities pertaining to the sincere interest in promoting local fashionista's.

3.) Throughout her 26 years in buisness in the heart of the Toronto fashion district Pam has had a keen interest in supporting & joining forces with local passionate businesses owners like Danielle.

4.) THIS:The sponsorship badge that links to our website perfectly exudes the spring-time air that you will feel in the boutique.

Cheers to looking forward to the many exciting growth FC & FF will make together!
