Pick of the Day!

The Fashion Crimes' pick of the day consists of two stunning red carpet looks.

The dress on the right is one of Fashion Crimes' couture pieces; a Black Tie dress in bow baby bow fabric.

Pretty In Hot Pink

Attention all brides to be: take a lesson from Vanessa Lent; you do not need an ivory or white dress to be a beautiful bride! She wore a stunning strapless, silk organza gown in an eye popping fuchsia paired with a multi-coloured crystal necklace that she found at Fashion Crimes. We are all in love with Vanessa's ensemble (you look gorgeous!!), and how much do you love her dashing groom, Nathan? Suspenders, plaid pants, skinny tie, all topped off with a knuckle bump! You two make an adorable couple; congratulations and we wish you all the happiness in the world!

Pick of the Day!

Not only is this fashion piece popular with our beloved prom girls, but they are quite coveted amongst our birthday girls too! These strapless dresses are covered in sequins and beads, have a corseted top for added security (plus it creates a beautiful silhouette), and has a built in crinoline for a 'fun' and sexy look (think Carrie Bradshaw).

Pictured above, we have added a brown fox fur stole (click HERE to learn more about how fur is green), 7 crystal and chain necklace (designed by the incredibly talented Brienna Delorey), and a feathered poppy headband to the red dress. We accessorized the pink piece with a black lace shrug (a brand new addition to the Fashion Crimes repertoire, which I personally purchased immediately!), gold mesh bib necklace, and pink fascinator. These are just 2 examples as to how to accessorize these show stopping dresses; come on in to the boutique and we'll show you many more options! Let's play dress up together!!

How can you not smile when you're wearing a crinoline?

Pick of the Day!

One of our amazing stylists, Emily, is modelling 2 new pieces to enter the Fashion Crimes realm. Beautiful gem drop earrings and a stunning tear gem cluster necklace instantly turns her 6 way convertible dress into red carpet material!

Here Emily is showing off one of our hottest new items, and just as we thought people are going crazy for them; the bendy polka dot head wrap. These satin polka dot hair accessories have a wire on the inside, so you can easily create this look in seconds, no tying necessary! They come in a variety of colour combinations, including black/white, pink/white, tan/brown (my personal favourite!), and green/navy. The hardest part will be choosing the colours you like best! Also note the gorgeous layered pearl and chain necklace she is wearing; one of the hundreds of elegant necklaces we have to offer.

Fashion Crimes still has a huge SALE going on! As if we would stop the deals because Boxing Day is over; many of our sale items are still 50% OFF THE MARKED DOWN PRICE!! Come on down you lucky girl!!

Double The Fashion. Double The Fun!

I (Melissa) attended my beautiful cousin Danielle's wedding over the holidays in wonderful Newfoundland, so when packing I made sure to include lots of Fashion Crimes dresses. It's a good thing I did, because my twin sister Meleny saw my electric blue strapless dress and suddenly the "what to wear?" question was answered.

Pictured above is my gorgeous sister completely owning the look with the electric blue dress (don't worry, I took it back when I left for Toronto!), wire cuff bracelet, and jet gem necklace. I am wearing one of Fashion Crimes' newest styles, the Drew Stretch in sheer passemeterie fabric over yellow lining, with my killer rhinestone owl ring and bronze dipped oak leaf earrings. It was a fantastic night, once again reaffirming that Newfie weddings are my favourite kind of weddings!

Christmas 2011 Window

The one thing you can always count on when the Fashion Crimes window goes up is that it will be unique and wonderfully unconventional. Instead of sticking with the typical red and green colour scheme, Kat McEwen (our lovely/brilliant Creative Director) created a "Canadiana" Christmas. This display is packed with elaborate fascinators, stunning dresses (including a Jezebel Micro Mini in deer print fabric!), and beautiful furs. In order to appreciate the awesomeness that is this window display, you simply have to come by and see for yourself......and you can enjoy some fabulous SALES while you're here!

DJ Rashida In Fashion Crimes At Prince After Party!

Last week we gave you a preview of the impromptu photo shoot Cha Cha had with the ever so lovely DJ Rashida, who was currently in town touring with Prince (yes that's right, the Prince!!). Much celebrating was in order, as both shows received rave reviews, so of course there was a lavish after party. It warms our heart to no extent to see DJ Rashida looking stunning in a Fashion Crimes 6 way dress tied in a one shoulder Grecian style, with one of our many jewelled hair pieces to top off the look. Positively gorgeous!

This dress is a staple for the entire Fashion Crimes family. It comes in over 10 different colours, and you can tie it in dozens of ways (don't let the 6-way name limit you!). Not only does it look fabulous on any body shape, it is probably one of the most comfortable dresses you will ever wear! Why not come in and get a private tutor session with one of our amazing stylists? It's fun and easy!!

DJ Rashida Starting New Trends with Fashion Crimes

Hello "Fashion Criminals," I hope you're keeping yourself snug in this crazy cold weather we're experiencing, but if you're NOT, here's a bright light that will hopefully bring some warmth into your day and inspire you to step outside the box. We at Fashion Crimes LOVE people who take chances with their fashion ensembles and HAD to show you this impromptu photo shoot we did with none other then one of the BIGGEST DJ's on the planet DJ RASHIDA, who's currently on tour with Prince (catch them performing at the ACC in Toronto November 25 and 26).

We love any woman that rocks horizontal stripes and if you think you can walk out of here resisting the temptation to purchase something, YOU'RE WRONG!!! We have something to compliment any woman's outfit. Here she's rocking a turban with one of Fashion Crimes' amber beaded flower pin that doubles up as a brooch. Her AMAZING blue driving gloves can be found at our store in black, red and white. To tie the whole look together, we have her rocking our Eartha Kitt sunglasses and colourful bangles. We just think this whole look is seductive, edgy and SCREAMS "I'm an individual."

Not only did this rockstar walk out with accessories, she also grabbed an ivory 6-way dress (pictured above.) Hopefully, the next time she's spinning for her A-list celebrity clients such as Jay Z, Kimora Lee Simmons, Michael Jordan, and Jada Pinkett Smith or walking the red carpet for an award show, she'll put her own spin on this fabulous dress that EVERY woman MUST own!!!

P.S....Prince's personal assistant also walked out with the hair brooch and a blue 6-way dress.

Pick of the Day!

Introducing the newest design to emerge from the Fashion Crimes studio on Richmond Street: the Drew Wiggle! You may already be familiar with our Drew dress, if not click HERE for a refresher. This is a similar style but with a pencil skirt to show off your curves as opposed to an a-line hem. It still has a beautiful off shoulder neckline with flattering sheer sleeve, and honestly I have yet to meet a woman who has tried on this dress and didn't fall in love. With the holidays rapidly approaching, surely this dress will come in handy; whether it be a work party, wedding, or New Years Eve. Whichever function you decide to wear it to, you will easily be a knock out!

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!

Remembering Halloween

Vivian, another happy Fashion Crimes customer, definitely had her creative thinking cap on when she concocted this incredible costume! Her Mummy Antoinette costume took the historical character and transformed her into the walking dead. She used a floor length white crinoline (also available in red, blue, and black), and white cotton tights, which are on sale for $10!! Fantastic job Vivian, you look both terrifying and beautiful!

Halloween Revisited

Care dropped by Fashion Crimes last week in the hopes of being inspired, as she had yet to decide on a Halloween costume. Once she spotted our strawberry tart wig she knew the direction she was going, but what else to wear with such an elaborate hair do? Of course we had the perfect accessories to complete the look; a black crinoline, red rose belt, and green spotted eyelashes (which are still on sale for $5!!). Care's costume turned out brilliantly, and she even handed out strawberry candy to fellow admirers. The Fashion Crimes team salutes you for your creativity; you were so much fun to work with!
