Upon entering the dimly lit, industrial chic
sanctuary that is the Fermenting Cellar, we knew the evening was going be
magical. The blend of new and old architecture was the perfect contrast for the
ambience. The aesthetic picked up on a similar contrast that comes with our spring/summer
collection, but let’s not digress…more on that later.
Let’s start with a quick rundown of the venue.
With a multi-rowed catwalk, we strayed from tradition and gave our guests an up
close and personal look at each of the models. The set up gave our guests a panoramic
view of not just one model, but up to four looks simultaneously.

From the time our guests arrived, Stolichnaya
Vodka and glacéau smartwater made sure our guests were pampered in true Greta
C. luxe. Stoli designed signature cocktails after Kirk and Stephen. The ‘Kirk’ was
a refreshing wine and vodka blend; meanwhile the ‘Stephen’ was a sweet cobalt
cocktail with a sprig of dil. Fabulous.

Enough about ambience though, let’s talk about
the main event—the show. Our spring/summer collection surprised many as we
deviated from fall's rainbow of colour and kept the collection in three hues:
navy, black and white. The show started with our models rocking the runway in
navy, black and finally crisp white. Each girl sported sleek, slicked back
hair, finished with a futuristic, handcrafted headpiece.

Speaking of accessories, if you take a close
look at the girls’ manicures, you’ll notice talon-like nails courtesy of
Toronto’s very own Tips Nail Bar. Custom-made nails for each of the girls furthered
the "graceful yet brutal" feel Kirk and Stephen presented.

The collection consisted of 34 eclectic looks—each possessed its own degree of femininity. Let’s not
forget about the contrast that was mentioned earlier; our collection included a
variety of silhouettes and contrasted levels of detailing—from ultra-sleek,
fitted frocks to babydoll dresses, cutouts and pleats. A clash of contrasts
bred a diverse range of looks—from sweetness, sultriness to downright ferocity.
After our spring/summer collection hit the
catwalk, our guests got a second chance to catch a glimpse of our 5 BLACK
COLLECTION.
Without further ado, we are thrilled to share
with you our 34 looks for Greta C’s spring/summer:
