Fashion Crimes At The Golden Globes!!

Leah Miller, host of So You Think You Can Dance Canada and E!, was a correspondent for eTalk at last month's Golden Globes. The Fashion Crimes team was delighted to dress the blond beauty, and decided that sequins was definitely the way to go! The lovely dress seen on Leah has a scoop back, is covered in tiger stripe sequins, and falls just above the knee. She certainly did justice to this piece; she looks gorgeous!!

Remembering TIFF

We promised there would be more pictures, and now they are finally here (if you need a refresher of this amazing night click HERE!). Fashion Crimes was the official clothing sponsor of the Art of Sound TIFF reception, dressing all of the beautiful ladies of WIFT.

Hotness overload! All the dresses you see above are from the one and only Fashion Crimes. From left; a Hepbourne dress in stretch python fabric, a fern bee Jezebel Tivoli, a gold lace Demure Sleeve dress, the Jezebel Micro Mini in amazing claw sequin fabric, a black satin Audrey Sheath, a black velvet Knotty dress, an Oscar dress in black taffeta, a metallic floral print strapless dress (it has pockets!!), and finally a black Dream Girl dress. Phew! That's a whole lot of pretty in a row, and also note that all the accessories shown are from Fashion Crimes.

Here we are with the babes of Magneta Lane; Fashion Crimes friends who make awesome music (and if you haven't heard their sound, you simply must. Click HERE for a taste!). From left; Tiffany in a black Tivoli Gown paired with a baroque Waist Cincher, myself (Melissa) in a black sequin Tied Up Mini, Kat rocking a jet sequin Demure Sleeve dress, Nadia (who gets my vote for the cutest drummer in the history of rock and roll) in the Madonna dress, the incredibly stylish Kevin (loving that fedora!), lead singer Lexi looking like a babe in a sheer sleeve tunic style dress (which we like to call the Stevie Nicks dress, and is also available in beige), and the always beautiful French who is the bass player for Magneta Lane.

One last shot of the Fashion Crimes management team! Thanks once again to WIFT for having us. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it!

Celebrity Human Race Fundraiser 2011

Back in September, Musik nightclub held the celebrity draft for the Human Race fundraiser, where teams picked their favourite star to join them on a scavenger hunt across the city to raise money for the North York General Hospital Foundation. The night was filled with amazing food, music (including a performance by JRDN), and head turning fashion, so naturally Fashion Crimes was present.

From left; Canadian R&B/hip-hop artist Jordan Croucher (aka, JRDN), Cha Cha wearing a Demure Sleeve dress in tulip print silk, Pam Chorley in a cafe passemeterie Demure Sleeve dress, and Manny, JRDN's manager.


Kat is sitting with Pam in a jet sequin Demure Sleeve dress, a gold plated Brooklyn Bridge ring, and beautiful orange feather hair extensions. Of course, all the accessories you see on Pam is available at Fashion Crimes as well.

Here I am (Melissa) sandwiched between two of my favourite gals wearing one of my newest dresses from the Fashion Crimes collection; the Jezebel Wiggle in stripe suiting fabric. It was an incredible night, and so much money was raised for such a great cause!

2011 Soulpepper At Play Gala

Shelley Ambrose, publisher of The Walrus magazine, approached Kanchana for help in finding a dress for the Soulpepper At Play fundraiser last month. The only issue: she needed to do it in 15 minutes! To some this may seem like an impossible request, but for the Fashion Crimes team it was business as usual. Shelley succeeded and left the boutique with the Bowpeep dress in orange spidermum fabric, and judging from the picture she sent it was a job well done. Wow Shelley, you look gorgeous!!

CCMA nominee Kirsten Jones!

Canadian singer/songwriter (and Fashion Crimes friend) Kirsten Jones was nominated for Roots Artist of the Year for her album The Mad Mile at the 2011 Canadian Country Music Awards, which was easily well deserved. We had the joy of styling the beautiful songstress for the prestigious event, and by looking at the photos it was a job well done!

Below, you see her in a seeing spots Holly Boat dress, coupled with a red rosette belt (you know how we love that pop of red!) and black cocktail ring.

Caitlin Cronenberg In Fashion Crimes at TIFF

Legendary director David Cronenberg's (The Fly, History of Violence, Eastern Promises...) much anticipated film A Dangerous Method, starring Viggo Mortensen, Keira Knightley, and Michael Fassbender, screened at TIFF. Who was his date? His beautiful daughter Caitlin; a talented photographer who just last year released the book Poser (you must check it out). The Fashion Crimes team was ecstatic when she approached us for a gown to grace upon the red carpet at the premiere. She is above pictured with her dad wearing a Mermaid gown in riptide fabric, which is part of Pam's couture line. Our stylists loved working with Caitlin, and that dress was meant for her body! Congratulations to Mr. Cronenberg; he is one of the reasons why Canada rocks!

"Dressed to Kill" Cancer with Gene Simmons

The "Rally for Kids" fundraising initiative for the Sick Kids Foundation took place September 16th and 17th at Muzik nightclub in downtown Toronto hosted by KISS front man Gene Simmons and wife, Shannon Tweed. Various corporations and kind hearted people had the opportunity to draft their favourite celebrity driver based on how much money they were able to acquire for the cause. This event was absolutely one of my favourites during TIFF weekend because of it's exceptional interior designs, the beautiful exotic cars, and all the high-profile celebrities that came out to support the fundraiser.




Here is designer and owner of Fashion Crimes, Pam Chorley walking the red carpet in a Tied Up metallic brocade dress.



Amongst the fabulous chaos, I was able to get some quick shots of Pam with the following gorgeous men: celebrity chef, David Rocco (pictured above) and Dragon Den's star and business guru, Robert Herjavec (pictured below).






I am normally NOT the type to get star struck, but when you have been standing behind Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed for 30 minutes while they wait to go on stage , you turn into a "Creature of the Night" and begin ravenously finding an opportunity to take a photo with the two "Family Jewels." I must say, it was a successful attempt.








As the night begins to wind down and my adrenaline rush turns into fatigue, it is only fitting that before we leave this AMAZING event, the very last photo belongs to the Fashion Crimes team.





From left; Kat wearing the yellow Drew dress with black lace, Pam in the Metallic Brocade Tied Up dress, Tiffany in the black lace Holly Boatneck, and finally me, Cha Cha, in a Bullet Halter in a silk bird print fabric aptly name Tweety. I thought it was only fitting that I wore something that sounded like "Tweed."

Fashion Crimes Teams Up With WIFT

The Fashion Crimes management team had a blast last night at the WIFT (women in film and television) "The Art of Sound" TIFF event at Pinewood Toronto Studios. WIFT is a not-for-profit organization that supports women in film, television, and digital media to build and sustain their careers both nationally and internationally. We had the pleasure of styling the hardworking ladies of the foundation, as well as the lovely gals of the musical group Magneta Lane. Pictures are coming, so for now feast your eyes on us!

From left; Melissa (your friendly neighbourhood blogger) wearing a black sequin Tied Up dress accessorized with a one of a kind crystal fringe necklace (designed by the awesome Brienna Delorey), and a honkin' rhinestone ring, Tiffany could barely go 5 seconds without getting a compliment on her Tivoli gown in black magic fabric paired with a baroque Waist Cincher (yes that is separate from the dress), Austrian crystal hoop earrings, 3 finger gem ring, and hard case clutch (which by the way is on sale for 50% off!), Kat was a knock out in the black sequin Demure Sleeve dress, crystal grapevine earrings and silver octopus ring, and finally Cha rocked a black eclipse Vavoom dress with rhinestone cummerbund style belt and giant rose ring.


Stay tuned for more pictures from the fantastic night, and thanks again to WIFT for inviting us!

Kaitlyn Regehr (co-host and burlesque choreographer for the series Re-Vamped, woman's empowerment expert, straight up babe, and Fashion Crimes friend) attended the TIFF premiere of Teenage Paparazzo (a documentary directed by Adrian Grenier) wearing a gorgeous ensemble from our beloved boutique. She is pictured below in a Fashion Crimes Jezebel Micro Mini in baroque fabric, accessorized with a black and gold acorn necklace and an out of this world four finger clutch.

"Oh La La," Those Dresses are FIERCE!!!

As we, citizens of Toronto, are in the week of INTENSE media coverage because of all the cool TIFF events happening in our beloved city, you didn't really expect Fashion Crimes to stay out of the limelight did you? Of course you didn't!!!! We love all things dramatic and what better way to usher in any premier event then to stage a theatrical grand entrance Fashion Crimes style. We recently teamed up with "Oh La La Cosmetics" to sponsor their three day events where they handed out samples from their cosmetic collection at various TIFF events in the downtown core. How can you say no to GORGEOUS models channeling a bit of Japanese fashion by rocking the pink Jezebel Pom dress with our blonde May wigs?


And why don't you all test out the "blondes have more fun" theory by picking one up at the store for Halloween!!!!! It is just around the corner after all and for all you Femme Fatales out there, we sell them in an intense black colour as well!!!! I think all these girls look beautiful and I wasn't the only one. Guess who they ran into during one of their Yorkville events? I'll give you a hint: he has a "Notebook" full of charming one liners.



That's right! The ladies ran into Ryan Gosling and he absolutely loved the dresses. I think that's worthy of a tear or two don't you think?

TIFF Window!!

To honour the Toronto International Film Festival, the new Fashion Crimes store front window pays tribute to old Hollywood. Creative genius Kat McEwen did a remarkable job in creating such a vision, showcasing our vast selection of red carpet looks. The window is packed with fringe, fur, wildly colourful fascintaors, and copious amounts of shimmery accessories; all that one would expect to see at a glitzy celebrity event. With the legendary Sophia Loren as the backdrop, this window could not be more glamourous. Come in and feel like a movie star! Who knows you might even see one while you're here....

Pick of the Day!

Today's pick is modeled by stylist Kanchana!! She is wearing a fabulous fuscia Oscar dress; this corseted dress also comes in black, navy, plum, yellow, teal, turquoise, red, and white.


We absolutely adore this feathered hair piece; they come in many different varieties of colors, and in peacock feathers too. This amazing hot pink color goes perfectly with the Oscar dress. And do you see those fantastic drop crystal earrings? They are part of a wonderful collection of Canadian-made jewellry; those earrings come in a smokey tone, as well as a gold color!



Yes, that is a four-fingered ring clutch! This is definitely a staff favorite; it has the perfect combination of elegance and edge. Also, the bracelet pictured hails from the same line as the earrings mentioned previously; beautiful Austrian crystals formed into tiny flowers all made locally!


Where to find this dynamite ensemble? Fashion Crimes on Queen Street West! Come visit us; we would love to talk fashion with you.

A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock 'n' Roll, And A Whole Lot of Fabulous!

Jacelyn Holmes, Canadian Singer/Songwriter, received two nominations this year for Best Adult Contemporary Artist and Music Video of the Year at the 2011 Niagra Music Awards. Naturally, such a strong, inspiring woman would not need just any outfit for such a prestigious event, so Fashion Crimes stepped in to help. The end result? Jacelyn looked absolutely stunning (don't just take my word for it, take a peek at the fantastic photography of Lindsay Altoft and see for yourself) and she went home with the award for Best Adult Contemporary Artist! Yay, Jacelyn! Congratulations, the Fashion Crimes team are delighted!!

Jacelyn is pictured above wearing a black lace Drew dress, accessorized with a red feather fascinator. How can you not love this picture?

For Jacelyn's musical performance, she choose an adorable Bambi print chiffon Gretel dress, paired with an electric blue dupioni shrug from Fashion Crimes.
