NADA‘s collection had a lot of everything – a lot of eyebrows, a lot of hair, a lot of jewelry, an excess of accessories, a lot of lace.  Which surprised me a bit because when I spoke to the designer Nada Shepherd the week before, she mentioned that this season was about stripping away the extraneous.  The show started with a video vignette about a love story gone cold, and when the show ended Nada didn’t bring her models out for the curtain call, as is customary, instead giving us only a swift little wave from backstage, leaving a very confused crowd, some of who looked like their standing ovation got cut off.  Leaving me to wonder if the bloom is off the rose between NADA and Toronto’s fashion scene?  I may not be feeling the wealthy wife aesthetic but I am feeling the sense of disenchantment.
