As fearless designers, brand magnets and epic party hosts, Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong are a Canadian fashion force unlike any other. The duo’s fashion label, Greta Constantine, has garnered an impressive lineup of clients and celebrity devotees, from Hollywood’s PYT’s to top fashion icons like Naomi Campbell and Iman, thanks to their to-die-for dresses and right-now sensibility. I caught up with Stephen and Kirk leading up to the launch of their new bridal collection for Kleinfeld to chat about business, ageless beauty and, yes, bridezillas...
As one of Canada's leading design duos, Stephen Wong and Kirk Pickersgill are renowned not only for their figure-hugging frocks but for their over-the-top runway shows. In seasons past, I've been on the Greta Constantine guestlist because the guestlist has numbered in the 100s, not 10s, with impressive shows held in places like Toronto's Distillery District or The Century Room. For their Fall '13 presentation held last week in Toronto, Stephen and Kirk kept it decidedly more exclusive. And so, while a handful of Toronto's top editors and socialites headed to Parkdale's Parts & Labour for the formal runway show, the rest of us flocked to The Hoxton for the Stoli-fueled after-party. Whether A-list or B, I must admit that I feel pretty lucky to be on GC's list at all - dudes know how to throw a party. Click on the thumbnails below to see which well-heeled VIPs made the cut to the main event and, of course, get ready to lust after the lovely Greta Constantine Fall '13 collection. I am loving that maxi dress with the belted fur stole and the hide and chic origami-like vest with the wide-leg white trousers. Oh, and dying over the fierce jewel art by Dandi Maestre. Et tu? Any faves? Be sure to also check out the video below - a super interesting glimpse at the triumphs and challenges of building the Greta Constantine brand. Enjoy!
