Pink Tartan
Can we say wowie kazowie? If OR brought us to the beach, then Pink Tartan certainly brought
the party. Vibrant, glamourous and colourful –think blazing blues, hot pinks, electric oranges—
Pink Tartan transported the high life of the 70s to 2011. This show is often one of the faves and
every time I sit at a show, I remember why. The collection, an homage to the glitz and glamour
of the 70s, was done with a uniquely modern twist. Kimberly Newport-Mimran (designer) showed
us that fashion can finally get back to being hip and fun with the skyhigh platforms and flirtatious
silhouettes. And if the show wasn’t enough to keep us giddy as schoolgirls, sitting across from
the face of Canadian fashion, Jeanne Beker certainly did. I caught up with Jeannie (who was
extremely gracious) to ask about the show.
Jeanne on PT:
“I loved the show! I thought it was very bold, very vibrant, very modern, colourful and sexy. It had
a bit of 70s vibe going on, but in a very forward way. The kind of stuff that I’d like to throw in my
bag and go to Saint-Tropez with. But also very steamy and romantic, but in a very edgy kind of
way. I loved it!”
