LAUREN BAGLIORE SPRING 2011

October 24, 2010 | By: Michelle

With major buzz on her first major runway presentation, Lauren Bagliore (pronounced “bal-your-ray” thanks to our trusty liner notes!), a Calgarian who is based in NYC, was all smiles backstage on Thursday night. “I’m so excited,” she told frontrowmag.com following her 30 look show, her official second season. “It’s really amazing when your vision comes to life.” That vision included some spectacular hand draped Italian viscose cocktail and floor length dresses, as well as a relaxed cowl neck cream top with slouchy drawstring pants, a major trend this season at LG. Aside from the her signature architectural draped frocks, which were stellar, her take on the legging, showing white, sheer ones gathered at the ankle, were a fresh take on the sometimes overused trend.

Lauren Bagliore SS11

Lauren Bagliore, pronounced "Bal-your-ray" is surely a name I will never forget. The extraordinary designer wowed her audience last night at LG Fashion Week with her striking Spring/Summer 2011 collection. With dramatic drapes, righteous ruchings, sexy stripes, heavenly hoods, and refreshingly unique contrasts of the darkest darks with the chalkiest lights, the sensational line was memorable. Ms. Bagliore has "cut her teeth" into some of the worlds' most acclaimed design houses such as Vivienne Westwood, Zac Posen and Libertine, to which it is no wonder her edgy yet seemingly comfortable designs are turning heads across the globe. Thank you Lauren Bagliore, you are a ravishing ray of light.

Who says spring fashion has to be all flowers and lace? Lauren Bagliore proves a little edge goes a long way when it comes to creating a chic collection for spring.



Black and white ruled the runway, and models sauntered down in comfy fabrics like jersey, cotton-tulle and gauzy knit. Elegant draping and asymmetrical touches, like stitching that zig-zagged across an ivory tulle dress, and one-shouldered dresses lent a quirk to the simple collection. Even the leather pieces, like a skirt that had leather draped elegantly in front, looked cool and cosy.



Standouts were the boleros with layered fabric in stripes around the shoulders, convertible jersey tops with a cowl necks worn over the head like a hood, or loose around the shoulders, and our favourite of the night was the silk draped dress with the charmeuse under-layer.

A great spring collection, and not a floral in sight.

Jay Strut from Satisfashion posted live pictures from the Lauren Bagliore runway show!

Great textures

Assymetrical plays

Good proportions and silhouettes

Interesting volumes

Knows how to drape

Cool necklines and french

Cowl neck hoodies

I'm obsessed with her attention to details. Just found out the fabric is all imported from Italy. Gorgeous pieces that you know will just make you feel super crazy, sexy cool when you wear them. Dramatic accents to simple ideas and pieces make it the most perfect fashion forward avant-garde but wearable collection. I'm eating this all up right now. The draping in this collection is just other worldly!! Where have you been hiding! I still can't get over it.. I have to say that this is definitely one of my favorites of this season. I am literally having an overwhelming sense of excitement just watching this show right now!! I am so wanting so many of the things from this runway and would rock some of these pieces sooo good!!! AHHHH haha... p.s. to Lance's mom, it was a pleasure having "moments" falling in love with the collection with you!!!

The story of Lauren Bagliore’s show was hinted at in a card placed on show-goers seats. She stated that because of personal tragedy, she almost didn’t create this collection. Well, I, for one, am happy she did. Amazing black dresses that had hidden deconstructed parts, transparent slouchy drawstring leggings (they were fantastic), and innovative draping were the highlights of this show.

A theatrical debut for Lauren Bagliore

By KATE KENNEDY AND REBECCA ZAMON, QMI AGENCY

Black and white is an easy recipe for drama, and Lauren Bagliore indulged fully in these ingredients in her debut show at Toronto's fashion week on Thursday night.

The designer, who has worked with Vivienne Westwood, Zac Posen and Paul Hardy, splits her time between New York and Calgary, and noted in her programme that she endured personal tragedy this year.

The emotion could be seen in the high melodrama of her creations, consisting greatly of

body-hugging jersey in one-shouldered tanks and asymmetrical dresses.

The collection was nearly fully monochromatic, save for some pieces in heather grey and one stunning blush rose silk jacquard dress with a handkerchief hemlines and a visible under-layer.

Stripes, which look to become a staple this spring, were featured horizontally in dresses and tops, as well as arrow points on the waist of an ivory viscose dress.

A Grecian toga gown, aptly nam

ed "Athena" showed spectacular movement - virtually coming to life - as the convertible strap was held as a train in the model's train. Many other pieces showed function,

despite their starkness, as with the Desiree "Endless" dress that was shown as a shirt, an almost shoulderless sweater and of course, a dress.

Vertical lines, shown in the draping of cowl necklines, batwings that fluttered behind shoulders and billowing regions under arms, elongated almost every look.

Leggings, donned beneath the frocks, had shirred details and came in a sheer ivory and a sexy black nylon.

The most graphic elements were lace tank tops and Victorian jackets with buttons marching down the front, while drama was found in hoods that resembled a nun's habit.
