Frugal Fashion Week's WhoWhatWEARWhenWhy Fashion Show

On  January 28 Frugal Fashion Week launched their WhoWhatWEARWhenWhy fashion show at the elegant Nyood (I'll save ya sometime and say-yes, pronounced "nude") venue. Local designer labels such as Another Word for Pink, Decadent Designs, Yvette Le Roy, Our Lady, Patricia O'Connor and Faren took the catwalk by storm as dj's rocked out with tunes from the 80's, top 40 and house music. 
FFW is a non-profit organization that was created to encourage local support of designers and retailers through a series of stylish programs and events.
Tickets for the event were only 10 bucks a pop and all proceeds went to Windfall-Canada's only new clothing bank. Guests were also given a gift bag upon arrival containing a lovely scarf and contact information. During the show, delish food was served, complements of Nyood.


  

First up was Breeyn McCarney's Another Word for Pink. Her designs incorporates a lot of florals and feminine touches, seen a lot in 2010 trend forecasts. Flowy shirts paired with opaque tights and simple make up & hair were used, as well as bright Spring colours.


Perfect for a date-atmosphere, or if you wanna run your town tonight (eh eh eh eh ehhh)

This RTW disco inspired outfit creates a fun look-while looking sexy at this same time. 


(P.S Notice the Shakespeare inspired painting on the wall...Relieved that Nyood didn't take the name to the extreme or literal for that matter, and incorporate naked pics or people)




As for the venue, Nyood has such an eclectic feel to it-colourful floorboards mounted on the wall, black yarn spun into intricate desgins as decor, and interesting paintings.
