Windows on Ryerson

Posted by Anita / July 7, 2006

If you missed Mass Exodus this year, like I did, you now have a second chance to get a look at the designs. Every year Holt Renfrew on Bloor street displays the best of the Ryerson School of Fashion graduates in their shop windows. I'm a big fan of Holt's windows and have been waiting for this display since April. The dress with the bag pictured above is a design by Danielle Meder, who was one of my first interviews at blogTO. The clothing choices are varied and reflects the different styles that the graduating class has to offer.

This is awesome. I really love that Holt is trying to reach out in this way... I wonder if they will ever sell any of the clothes in their store?

Wow, thanks for scooping me Anita! And many thanks to Holt Renfrew for including one of the outfits I made, this is awesome.

Lol, I wonder too Mike... it looks like according to sign on the window they're half price, hehe.

Holt Renfrew has been doing this for some time now. I was trying to find out how long before I posted but I couldn't get a hold of my source. It's great that they feature homegrown talent. My photos are pretty crap of the windows. I'm hoping <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mannequindisplay/";>this guy</a> will take some pictures soon. He does good store window pics.

there are much much more powerful pieces just a few windows down at Holts. this is not a good representation!

absolutely fantastic designs though. ryerson fashion students demonstrate sheer talent and eye for the uncommon.

Tammy,
They should be up for the month of July.

Ashley,
Photography is not my forte. I picked the best picture I had of the ones I took. Photos in the evening through glass don't turn out very well. People should go and view them in person and not rely on my horrible pictures

My favorite would have to be the black feather halter top and hoop skirt dress. Anyone know if there are photos of that one?

Sean,

I took pictures of it, but they didn't turn out. It was really beautiful.
