Toronto Fashion Week: Katrina Tuttle+Video

The birds were chirping and the sun was shining when Katrina Tuttle’s models stepped out onto the runway for her Spring/Summer 2010 show last night. It was the third day of LG Toronto Fashion Week and Katrina’s beautifully feminine pieces jump started the evening. Her color choices were light and fluffy with the odd splash of vibrant hues.

Splendicity was lucky enough to get back stage and catch up with the 21 year old self-taught designer from Halifax, Nova Scotia and talk to her about her collection and inspirations.

For someone with no formal training I was totally blown away. I’m going to make the the bold claim that Katrina Tuttle is the ‘One to Watch’. Although her clothing is not available outside of Halifax she’s working on getting her stuff into Toronto as we speak. For those of you outside of Canada I suggest you make a trek up north because Tuttle’s designs are diamonds in the rough.

If you don’t believe me just check for yourself:

Katrina’s bright yellow and blue dresses stood out against her lightly colored garments. These are definitely statement pieces.

I love the tulip skirt of the dress and the art-nouveau style top. It’s simple but it shouts.

Katrina Tuttle follows trends while sticking to classic lines and beloved styles. There’s something for everyone whether it’s a cocktail dress or a casual pair of slacks:

The beauty about this show was that everything looked ready-to-wear, something you don’t usually expect from the runway. I can’t wait to get my hands on her stuff when it comes to Toronto.
