HITTING THE CATWALK

Chunky sweaters, boyfriend blazers and bags with artwork fit for the walls by the oh-so-talented photographer Ryan McGinley are fall staples at Aritzia. At a private showcase on August 10, the new bags were on display and fall fashions hit the catwalk.

The best look by far is the cool nerd get-up. Put on preppy oxford button downs paired with an oversized cardigan, mini skirt, and black-framed glasses to complete the look.

And with so many stellar styles on the runway itís hard to pick just one! "I'd have to say my favorite is Wilfred's new artist series washed silk dress," says Aritzia's communications manager Zora Huculak. "This fall, Wilfred has collaborated with illustrator Robin Cameron to develop a collection of limited edition pieces. This dress is amazing with a wool cardigan or just on its own. It's colourful, modern and flirty."
