Emma-Lee Performs At The Phoenix Tonight!

Toronto singer/songwriter Emma-Lee will be performing at Andy Kim's 7th Annual Christmas Show at the Phoenix Theatre tonight. The variety show also features performances by Sam Roberts, the Arkells, Lights, Ron Sexsmith, Sarah Harmer, Alex Lifeson of Rush, Buck65, Brandon Canning and Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene, comedian Sean Cullen and more! All proceeds will be donated to the charity Juliette's Place.

Here is the beautiful and talented Emma-Lee creating magic in a Fashion Crimes tiger sequin backless dress. This dress is great for a night on the town, and it would be the perfect choice for New Year's Eve. You know how to get your hands on this great piece; you better get down here and snag it before someone else does!

Christmas 2011 Window

The one thing you can always count on when the Fashion Crimes window goes up is that it will be unique and wonderfully unconventional. Instead of sticking with the typical red and green colour scheme, Kat McEwen (our lovely/brilliant Creative Director) created a "Canadiana" Christmas. This display is packed with elaborate fascinators, stunning dresses (including a Jezebel Micro Mini in deer print fabric!), and beautiful furs. In order to appreciate the awesomeness that is this window display, you simply have to come by and see for yourself......and you can enjoy some fabulous SALES while you're here!

Remembering TIFF

We promised there would be more pictures, and now they are finally here (if you need a refresher of this amazing night click HERE!). Fashion Crimes was the official clothing sponsor of the Art of Sound TIFF reception, dressing all of the beautiful ladies of WIFT.

Hotness overload! All the dresses you see above are from the one and only Fashion Crimes. From left; a Hepbourne dress in stretch python fabric, a fern bee Jezebel Tivoli, a gold lace Demure Sleeve dress, the Jezebel Micro Mini in amazing claw sequin fabric, a black satin Audrey Sheath, a black velvet Knotty dress, an Oscar dress in black taffeta, a metallic floral print strapless dress (it has pockets!!), and finally a black Dream Girl dress. Phew! That's a whole lot of pretty in a row, and also note that all the accessories shown are from Fashion Crimes.

Here we are with the babes of Magneta Lane; Fashion Crimes friends who make awesome music (and if you haven't heard their sound, you simply must. Click HERE for a taste!). From left; Tiffany in a black Tivoli Gown paired with a baroque Waist Cincher, myself (Melissa) in a black sequin Tied Up Mini, Kat rocking a jet sequin Demure Sleeve dress, Nadia (who gets my vote for the cutest drummer in the history of rock and roll) in the Madonna dress, the incredibly stylish Kevin (loving that fedora!), lead singer Lexi looking like a babe in a sheer sleeve tunic style dress (which we like to call the Stevie Nicks dress, and is also available in beige), and the always beautiful French who is the bass player for Magneta Lane.

One last shot of the Fashion Crimes management team! Thanks once again to WIFT for having us. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it!

The Deals Keep Rolling In

Yet another amazing deal from Fashion Crimes! Spanx Power Panties are now on sale for 30% off!

They are available in black and nude, and sizes range from A - E. Every girl could use a pair regardless of their dress size, and with a price tag like this you can't afford not to buy them!
