Joe Fresh and more: 10 looks and designers to know from Toronto Fashion Week
JOE FRESH: With close to 60 looks, the Joe Fresh show drew on everything from raw-edged, natural fibres to Chinoiserie for spring. The former influenced denim pieces, including jeans trimmed with lace or embellished with short, diagonal zippers at the ankle and thigh. The later inspired floral-print silk pajamas in rose, purple and ivory. Six months after the collapse of a factory in Bangladesh that was making Joe Fresh merchandise killed more than 1,100 workers inside, how consumers are responding to the line is still an open question. The label has donated $1-million to Save the Children Bangladesh and announced additional compensation for victim’s families the day after the presentation. “We decided to be part of the solution, and so we have stayed in Bangladesh,” said Joe Mimran following the show. “You never put it behind you; you work to go forward.” –D.K.
