Designer Announcement! Illyria Design

As many of our tweeps already know (follow us!): we are pleased to reveal that the stunning pieces by Illyria Design will once again be shown on the OFW runway. Illyria’s mission is “synonymous with elegance and style, a modern yet minimal and glamorous look”.

Illyria introduces classic design elements that flatter all women and include a different yet specific inspiration for each and every season. “Goddesses of spring and fall alike will delight in being the centre of attention in an Illyria Dress”.

For those of you who were fortunate enough to watch the show last season, you already know how amazing this is going to be!

One of the faces behind this blog

My name is Sabrina Kwan and I’m a second-year student at Carleton University studying Communications. Growing up in suburban Toronto, fashion was always present in my life. From strangers on the street to magazines at home, fashion was everywhere. However, it wasn’t until the summer of 2010 that fashion would become a serious interest, hobby, and a lifestyle Fashion is more than aesthetics- it is about self-expression and innovation. Blogging has become my newest passion through the combination of my two loves- fashion and communications. When I’m not blogging, I can be found sharing laughs with friends over a good plate (or five) of Asian cuisine.

It’s a huge honour to be one of the Social Media Interns for Ottawa Fashion Week and I personally cannot wait for all that this season has in store. This year guarantees that it will be bigger and better than ever, and I’ll be right there to update you every step of the way!
