RUDSAK

RUDSAK FW13
Returning to the frontier of disco and glamour, the collection draws influence from the new age era of pop culture while remaining faithful to the brand’s rugged DNA. Think memories of stardust flash like glowing neon lights, rejuvenating dreams of travelling through space on rockets. Lightning designs, metallic paints and bold contrasts manifest a brave new fashion.
An array of outerwear, prêt-à-porter clothing, footwear, handbags and accessories will strut down the runway for both women and men. Darkness reigns the catwalk as galactic black prevails throughout the collection, neutrals of browns and khakis hit like meteorites, and metallics glimmer like stardust.
Women’s early season staples include waist-cinched short leather perfectos, while transitional coats sit mid-thigh, forming subtle A-lines in shape. Asymmetrical parkas cast an elegant hourglass silhouette of the body’s form for a stylish winter look. Men’s single and double-breasted coats are boxy, as are down-filled jackets with center-front closures. The footwear leaps sky-high with chunky-heels while designs stay low with off-duty bikers and equestrian heels. Boots are lined with pony hair or shearling for an added sense of dashing allure. Whether you’re walking the city streets or off on a weekend escapade, the Fall/Winter 2013 Collection of handbags are functional yet cleverly constructed in both traditional and textured leathers.
“We are gearing up for our 20th anniversary in 2014 in a big way,” says designer Evik Asatoorian. “I used subtle inspiration from my past while at the same time staying true to our rebel without a cause DNA. I think of the 70s as my favourite era and wanted to bring that groovy time to life through our designs.”
Rudsak’s signature leather appliqués, exposed hardware, heritage snaps and crests run through the collection, with attention to tailoring, fabric fusions, and raw edges dominating the complete looks. All of these details are what keeps the brand relevant in the fashion scope year after year.

WINTER MAGS 1

I will be feeding this blog from the present and the past...
I have over 30 years of Canadian Designer info archived, and there is new info being added every day, so a little from one and a little from another.
I will try for as many pictures as possible, because after all, what is fashion if we can't see it...although there are some amazing words floating around from some of Canada's press, however, I am being  very careful to not tread on the intellectual, artisitic, or copywritten property of others and so I am also in the process of directly contacting any and all that I can before I will publish anything they might own.
So don't give up if the majority of what you see is words, there will be plenty more to come.
You will also notice that when I do mention someone I will try to include a link to their visible media presence so you can find them!
If you have pics and or info, please do not hesitate to contact me...the more input the better....

So working throught the winter mags I will point out

"FASHION" WINTER 2013 and their new slant on Canadian content. Yeah!!
Editor-in-Chief; BERNADETTE MORRA, in her editor's letter speaks glowingly of Canadian design talent LUCIAN MATIS and DAVID DIXON, and points out the  "level of artistic craft has inspired "Patriot Love" (page 254), a regular feature spotlighting Canadian design." REALLY EXCITING NEWS!! Their "first up, "Montreal's PAVONI".
The issue also gives a nice bit of coverage to "New York-based, Edmonton-raised designer newbie ANGELIQUE CHMIELEWSKI", "former Montrealer...London-based designer "JOCELYN PICARD and his label "LYN", "Montreal-based leather -goods label "RUDSAK"  and its "founder and chief visionary" EVIK ASATOORIAN.
Contributor SARAH NICOLE PRICKETT asks "Is Canadian fashion glamorous?' and gives a nice call out to CALLA, DAVID DIXON, DENIS GAGNON, ERDEM, GRETA CONSTANTINE,  LUCIAN MATIS, MIKHAEL KALE, OBAKKI, PINK TARTAN and TAVAN & MITTO. She suggests "Canadian designers who keep their processes small can turn our country's basic fashion infrastruture, and their own limited budgets, into a marketing strength. Offer artisanship and the conscientious shopper will come."
I have been saying and teaching a similar thought for many years, "don't try to compete with the Gap, you can't, but you can do the unique and limited things that they can't" Today's customer is intelligent and can, with a little guidance, put the two together, and both parties go on to succeed. And as to bringing it home, yes!  Here is hoping. Its what this blog is about,  "COLLECTED WE STAND"
If you noticed in a recent issue of Vogue magazine, they discuss how many American designers are doing their "making at home in the USA". And so are we, and not following behind... as I mentioned in my first entry, there on FRANCO MIRABELLI'S store front, "IMAGINED, DESIGNED AND CREATED IN CANADA"
