Dots[Connection]: The Surface of Toronto Fashion Week Part 1

This week is Toronto Fashion Week and unlike the previous seasons, I will not write a lot of reviews because there is a special project on Draw A Dot. For this season, the illustration site is collaborating with Microsoft to work on an interesting illustration project. I have invited 4 Canadian illustrators to go to different runway shows and do some live runway sketches.

Here are 3 of the runway sketches from Day 1 and you can visit Draw A Dot. for the entire series!

Tomorrow I will show you illustrations from Day 2.

So our first pop up entry for Lisa Nishimura is finally here! We hope you have some ideas on which characters are invading our space but if not, no problem, the answer is right here!

Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl have finally appeared on our radar and for the rest of this month, we will be getting a glimpse of what they are doing in New York City. First up, we have this:

"Bottega, Bendel's and Bergdorf's? Yes, yes and yes!
Where else would you find Manhattan's elite? Where shopping is a sport and being caught in last season's clothes would be a cardinal sin!

You know you love me.
xoxo"
