visible: Post Strellson Show

Let me start off by expressing my frustration and total disappointment with the fact that the Strellson Fashion show coincided with the Britney Spears concert last night in Toronto, and thus eliminating my chances of fulfilling my dreams of catching a few drops of Britney-sweat in my mouth because I know all the lyrics and was singing when she wriggled her torso in such a way that salty bodily fluids launched into orbit around the imaginary planet representing my love for the pop-princess and crash-landed on my tongue in a bitter-sweet fiery explosion of emotion.

Let me follow that up with the Strellson Fashion Show at Ultra Supper Club was very good. I would wager that about 300 people showed up, and if you knew someone of high stature in the Strellson world, you would drink Belvedere and Peroni because you are so cool (and because it was free). Here are a couple shots from the show (forget camera = stuck with iPhone):

The models there were fantastic! The guys wearing the clothes on the runway were pretty good too.

Overall, I felt the line was comfortable and casual, however perhaps a little too 'loose' for my tastes. There really wasn't any piece that stood out, and I almost feel snobbish for even thinking that, let alone telling the world. Almost. Then I remember it's okay to have an opinion on fashion, it's what it's all about. In the end, it was a great event and I got to meet some new people and drink with old acquaintances. The Strellson line's strengths, in my humble opinion, lie in the smart casual and dressy sides of their designs, which easily rivals BOSS on quality and design whilst beating them on price. 

Special props to Patrick Huffman of Vital Design for orchestrating the event. You rock!
