LAUREN BAGLIORE LOOK BOOK

I had the pleasure of shooting Lauren Bagliore's Spring/Summer 2011 Look Book again this year. Lauren is an amazingly talented designer and friend from New York who just recently had a show at Toronto's Fashion Week with I'm sure many more to come. Her designs are extremely original and the quality is top notch. You can see more of her work here.

Here are a couple of favourites from the shoot.

HOT ON THE HEELS OF HER DEBUT AT TORONTO’S LG FASHION WEEK LAST MONTH, NEW YORKER TURNED CALGARIAN LAUREN BAGLIORE IS BACK AND READY TO WOW THE HOMETOWN CROWD.

Bagliore, whose resume includes stints with Vivienne Westwood, Zac Posen and Paul Hardy, is hosting an art and fashion night where she’ll be previewing her spring line. An intricately draped, not-so-basic black Bagliore jersey dress does wonders for a woman’s silhouette, while her shawl-collared, Japanese nylon trench is wind and water resistant, not to mention fierce.

Leanne Delap for The Style Notebook

LETTER FROM LEANNE: Lauren Bagliore’s fresh start

Posted by The Style Notebook on November 11, 2010

A look from Lauren Bagliore Spring 2011, a collection that our veteran fashion writer saw through fresh eyes (with a little help from a friend). Story by Leanne Delap

Fashion reporting has changed completely since my days on the tour. I whipped around London, Milan, Paris and New York for a half dozen years in the mid-90s as fashion reporter for the Globe and Mail before I had kids; later I cherry-picked ready-to-wear shows and five-starred the haute-couture a couple of times as editor-in-chief of FASHION. Though in the years hence I never stopped writing about fashion, I oft maintained that I’d sooner eat beetles than sit through another show. It sounds so glamorous, but humping through the full seven-week tour filing stories made me more tired than a toddler with projectile stomach flu.

That was a puerile dismissal, for I now realize I was very privileged to have witnessed some extraordinary moments: I remember now crying at the first McQueen show I saw at the Royal Horticultural Gardens when the late genius sent models out in filmy gowns shackled inside cages, wading through water. That was the show he hand-carved a leg prosthesis for model Amy Mullins. I sat behind the legendary Suzy Menkes from the International Herald Tribune, and beside Jerry Hall. Everyone was moved.

I was crammed into a gate rushing the buzzy first Theyskens show, where then-Hole bassist Melissa auf der Maur was his Goth bride in elaborate black crepe corsetry. I saw Miyake’s final show, where 30 supermodels were strapped together in an undulating green silk cocoon at the Academy des Beaux Arts. (I was lucky enough to see the real supermodels in their runway heyday, the Naomis and Kates, even the Lindas, Helenas, and Christys at the Versace tribute show after his untimely death.)

“I almost didn’t show,” she said. “But in the end, I was rewarded. Buyers from all the major stores came to see me, and I’m so flattered and I got great feedback.”

Bagliore’s work comes from within: “When you grow up in New York, there is so much noise, so much input. The only place to go was within,” she says.

And my fashion show companion got that before I did. At 14, she had no reference for the sharp shouldered jackets or skinny legged looks with billowing tops. She wasn’t tarnished by MC Hammer when she looked at the harem-style pants. They looked fresh to her.

And it made me realize that Lauren Bagliore’s take on them was fresh too. Her grasp on draping kept the silhouette fresh. And her eloquent use of black and white made me think long after the model parade ended.

The Backseat Stylers

Toronto Fashion Week – Lauren Bagliore Spring 2011: La Risurrezione

BY THE BACKSEAT STYLERS, ON NOVEMBER 7TH, 2010

Lauren Bagliore (pronounced “bal-your-ray”) was one of many newcomers to the LG Fashion Week schedule this season. When the calendar was first released, I checked out the site for her eponymous line and decided, quite frankly, that her designs were badass and that I wanted to witness her work in person. I realize ‘badass’ isn’t a very technical fashion term, but it is exactly the word that I uttered to my laptop as I scrolled through photos of her Fall 2010 collection. I was officially intrigued and very much looking forward to her Spring 2011 show.

The day of the show arrives and I find myself running rather late and hoping that Lauren Bagliore is as well. I manage to arrive in the runway environment just as the music starts, so I have no time to find my seat; I settle for the photography pit, which turns out to be a blessing in disguise. I have the perfect vantage point from which to see Bagliore’s designs, and I’m completely taken by it all. Many of the looks are as deliciously dark as her Fall 2010 collection, but Bagliore has complemented these with light, airy pieces as well. Titled La Risurrezione: Dalla Scura alla Luce / The Resurrection: From the Dark to the Light, Bagliore’s Spring 2011 collection strikes a perfect balance between dark and light, hard and soft.

Backstage after the show, I have the chance to chat with Bagliore, and she’s a breath of fresh air. Her designs may be dark, but Bagliore appears anything but; she comes across incredibly down-to-earth and very much in love with what she does. She’s more than happy to chat about how her first LGFW outing came about, the show preparation process, and the inspirations for the collection. Bagliore tells me that, after a year filled with personal tragedies, this collection almost didn’t get made and that she only had 2-and-a-half weeks to prepare for LGFW.

I’m stunned at this revelation, because now that the models are standing just inches from me, I’m even more blown away by the pieces, inside and out. The Gioia cropped jacket in particular catches my eye – from the beautiful blush silk jacquard inside lining to the intricate embellishments and draped twist on the outside, I’m completely smitten.

The fiercer than fierce Wilhelmina WaSPY trench done in a high-tech Japanese hematite nylon is a close second in my books.

The many dresses aren’t far behind on my list of loves - they’re all so perfectly draped.

Currently stocked at Outerluxe in New York, Bagliore is in talks with high-end department stores on both sides of the border, and I can’t wait to see her Spring 2011 collection hit the sales floors.

TORONTO FASHION WEEK: LAUREN BAGLIORE S/S 2011

October 28, 2010

Moving away from New York to Calgary is not a typical move for most, but for a designer launching her own fashion line, it was a step in the right direction. Lauren Bagliore has worked with Zac Posen and Vivienne Westwood and it shows in her design aesthetic and attention to detail.

Fashion Inspired Costumes

Heather Toskan for Canoe.ca asked Lauren some questions about her Halloween plans...

"If I were going to dress as a designer it would be either as Dame Westwood, with a flaming Venetian red wig and a propaganda-themed tattered tee... or I would dress as John Galliano, with his Dali-inspired moustache and flair for the dramatic," says New York and Calgary-based Lauren Bagliore, a respected fashion designer herself.

Lauren Bagliore's Barbarella Girls

Friday, October 29, 2010

Black, white and grey are the holy trinity of colors for the fashion crowds.That infallible formula was also on the mind of designer Lauren Bagliore for her Spring 2011 collection. The collection appropriately named,The Resurrection: From the Dark to the Light by Lauren Bagliore.

Stunning models in Barbarella-esque updos rocked hard bodies and flashed their flirty black liner winged eyes down the catwalk.

A black asymmetrical suit with Thierry Mugler like wasp waist was highlighted with a side panel of vertical thin nautical stripes adorned one model. Another stern looking model wore a prim, fitted sleeve Victorianinspired blouse with a multiude of covered buttons and inset of leather down the center. This was topped over shiny patent leather like dhoti pants. The dreaded dhoti pant seemed to crop up in a few designers collections we saw in Canada.

Thankfully that trend along with harem pants died a quick death in U.S last year.

An intricately constructed black bolero style jacket was topped over a while maillot suit and paired over mid calf high heel boots. It was a sweet and hard look at the same time.

Cowl neck halter dresses in thigh grazing lengths were counterbalanced by a covered up hooded top that the model transformed into a loose turtle neck. There were flattering options with asymmetrical lengths in skirts and dresses which were draped and pegged, adding drama and interest to basic colors.

My favorite dress was worn by an elegant blonde model. It was twisted and asymmetrically hemmed to the waist and paired over killer platform pumps. When she turned around, the back was even more dramatic with undulating folds forming from the fitted back bodice and a short hem. The dress had a lot going on but, somehow, it worked.

Lauren added a couple of pale taupe print dresses at the end of the presentation which added softness to the collection and options for her customers.

The designer ended the presentation and came in one of her dresses looking entirely lovely and elegant even next to her towering blond model.

There was something very Manhattan about the collection. Of course, we discovered later that this talented designer was once a New Yorker and attended the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Up & Comer LAUREN BAGLIORE Shines Light on Toronto Fashion Week

28 October 2010

Lauren Bagliore's second collection which she debuted at Spring 2011 Toronto fashion week shows that she is no amateur designer. Her asymmetrical lines, intricately draped jersey dresses and soft tailored pieces came in shades of black, white and grey. The play on light and dark moments present throughout the collection was inspired by “The Resurrection: From the Dark to the Light.” After experiencing major family tragedies this past years, the designer looked within and created a collection that spoke true to her aesthetic. As she puts it so nicely, "I love creating edgy, fashion-forward designs and clothes that are beautifully draped and wonderfully cut. I want women to feel sexy and unique, but also comfortable in my clothes."

Lauren is a friend and native New Yorker. She currently lives in Calgary where she runs her design studio. She splits her time between the two cities. Before launching her own line in Fall 2010, Lauren trained with designers Vivienne Westwood in London and Zac Posen in New York.

We can definitely be certain that we will be seeing a lot more of Lauren Bagliore's work. Her sharp aesthetic, attention to the littlest details and determination are part of a humble start that is sure to take this designer very far.
