Ula Zukowska had a great music set for her show yesterday in Toronto at LG Fashion Week - very Requiem for a Dream. Inspired by devastated mother Earth and despair in life's volumes, Ula explored various materials including taffeta, organza (I couldn't touch, therefore I think), nylon, jute and crinkled foil. Her Spring/Summer 2010 collection felt more like Winter-Fall mostly due to the neutral and earthy palette that was accompanied by lots of black.

The outfits toward the end felt more like SS10 with a rainbow palette - lots of light red, orange, light green. Various dresses and shirts had faces printed on them - felt a little 2001. I personally liked the cool tights and zippered leggings worn by the models and one piece that impressed me was a pinkish red motorcycle jacket.

Ula gets bonus points for making it on stage despite her broken leg and ending the show with a track by The XX.
