Toronto Fashion Week: Sharp Minimalism at Mackage SS’14

It's always a tricky proposition for great outerwear companies to show a strong collection at the Spring shows, but Mackage co-creative directors Elisa Dahan and Eran Elfassy put together a sharp collection of summer leather and cool handbags for SS'14. Inspired by, "the reflection of light off of mirrored surfaces," and, "the interplay of both brightness and shadows," the show included minimalist perforated leather separates, sharp moto and bomber jackets plus lightweight quilted shorts for both men and women. The best coats included mixed materials (denim and leather trench anyone?) and looked urban but still utilitarian. Mackage just launched handbags this past March, but their accessories lineup remains graphic and beguiling (our favourites were the geometric leather bags in metallic silver!).
