Cuddle coats excite me but not much else in Lundstrom's latest at LG Fashion Week
The Lundstrom runway was buzzing with doomsday theories - Some said Eleventh Floor Apparel (a manufacturing company that owns the rights to the Lundstrom dynasty) may retain Linda's aesthetic, but without Linda's finger on the button, the company cannot flourish. Others didn't care, they wanted to be present at the most well-attended show this week.In case you were wondering, Linda Lundstrom stepped down from her business in June of 2009 and while she may have had some input in this season's collection, she did not see it through to the end.
This didn't seem to impact her followers - for the first time all week, there wasn't an empty seat in the house. The verdict: Toronto loves Lundstrom. How did the collection fare?

In Photos: Lundstrom Fall 2009
The Laparka is back in full force. The Linda Lundstrom fall 2009 show (video here) was sort of a return to the scene for the brand. Last year Lundstrom was going out of business and many fans of the Laparka were upset. Many of us talked about how many designers and retailers were going to be victims to the recession in the next few years. However, Linda was down but not out. Eleventh Floor apparel came in and bought the company and made Linda the head designer.
