When did Toronto get so cool?

Toronto has always been cool, just took other people a little longer to realize this.

Fashion Crimes was recently featured in the Miami Herald newspaper, the article was titled "When did Canada get so cool?".

The article hails Toronto as the hot 'go to' city in Canada, with awesome nightlife, unique and trendy shopping , amazing restaurants and other little treasures. It talks about the wonders on Kensington, marvels at the history of the Horse Shoe Tavern and all the amazing worldly eats the area of Queen St West has to offer.

Fashion Crimes relies on word of mouth to spread the story of our store. We do get quite a few international customers and people from all across Canada who have heard from a sister,cousin,friend all about Fashion Crimes.

Keep on passing the good word and check out the article from the Miami Herald Here.

Shout out to Julia McEwen, long time friend and family of Fashion Crimes, she is the Fashion & Beauty Editor at Canadian Living.

The Famed Oscar dress is Fuchsia

` Audrey Holly in Impressionist Silk :Yellow.

All the props from this shoot belong to a friend of Julia's, these photos were actually taken inside his house. He is in party management so a room full of chandelier's is no big deal.

One of our dresses was also featured in an ad found in Elle Canada for the new Sex and the City 2 Movie. I know we are all really excited to see it. Probably will get gussied up in our best cocktail dresses for drinks first then go catch the movie with some girlfriends.



And Lastly, one of our bridal headpieces in this months issue of Anokhin Magazine.

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:
