Toronto Fashion Week: TRAVIS TADDEO

Last night I had the privelege of checking out up and coming Montreal based designer TRAVIS TADDEO . Travis’s Spring/Summer collection caught my attention with its minimalist, ready-to-wear hipster meets high fashion vibe.

The show kicked off with swimwear…a touch on the scandalous side.

I can easily see myself sporting some of his loose tanks and sky blue jean shorts. Already, I’m getting excited for spring.

I’m a big fan of the color choices that Travis has picked. Red, Blue, and White. They are classic hues that can brighten up your closet right in time for hitting up the beach, or strolling down the boardwalk. I have to also say congrats to Travis because he successfully used these colors without making his models look like a national flag.

His S/S ‘10 collection went from day to night as he introduced darker and sexier pieces. Like his loose tanks, his dresses hang off the body revealing just the right amount of skin.

I love, love his (what I assume is leather) black cocktail dress. This dress is 100% a traffic stopper.

Black leather is for sure one of my guilty pleasures. So you can imagine I was going gaga for these black leather shorts. They look loose and comfortable. A piece that you could dress up or dress down. I also am crazy about the leather bra which would be killer sexy under one of Taddeo’s loose tanks.

The show wrapped up with TRAVIS TADDEO being surround by his models at the end of the runway. You can tell his designs reflect his personal style: minimal, regal, and subtly sexy.

What do you think of TRAVIS TADDEO?
