FASHION: DARE TO WEAR

Three on-the-rise fashion labels for every type of style adventurer.

HAYLEY ELSAESSER Front-row guests at Hayley Elsaesser’s cheeky spring/ summer 2015 show couldn’t whip out their phones fast enough to snap the Toronto-based designer’s bold pop-culture-inspired prints, sequined dresses and graphic accessories. Why? Because her collection is that over-the-top.

FEMME D’ARMES NYC-based sisters Fannie Chan and Connie Majoros embarked on a one-of-a-kind adventure when they decided to say goodbye to their respective styling and finance careers and start a fashion label in 2010. Their spring/summer 2015 collection references Las Vegas and the Nevada desert.

TOME Designers Ramon Martin and Ryan Lobo were influenced by India, specifically two female artists: Rukmin Devi, a classical dancer, and contemporary photographer Dayanita Singh. The vibrancy and energy of their art is

translated into elegant saffron, marigold and pink statement pieces.
