Oh it’s that time of the year again!
No, not December but September! Fashion’s most ubiquitous solstice month, where the big fashion magazines release their biggest issues ever! Magazine as thick as brick you can probably build a house of fashion on top of it! This month is also the month of thousand fashion weeks all over the world and here at Canada’s Capital city, Ottawa Fashion Week opens tonight with much giddy furor.
