Kate and Laura Mulleavy have the minds that create dramatic creations that certainly blur the line between art and a fashion business. Their dual imagination has given us 15 years of magic. Now with a twindemic (Covid-19 + the wildfires) in full force we see a raging floral bomb that is so beautiful I can’t tear my eyes away of this.

Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong are based in Toronto, not the obvious center of the fashion world but they’ve managed again to create the most wondrous presentation of color palette that kept our attention glued to every piece.
