Run through the moss on high heels...

What a perfect lyric to describe newcomers Chloé and Parris Gordon's new fashion line Chloé Comme Parris. (check out their Web site here)

These two Toronto sisters have combined their talents for jewelry and clothing design to create a brand new label that aesthetically combines tomboy charm with a girly business casual allure.

I was lucky enough to attend their first Toronto show as they debuted their work at LG Fashion Week... and did I ever fall in love - the colours, the cuts, the SOCKS!

Sitting in the first row with my girlfriends watching all of these new looks strut by, I couldn't help but feel that this fashion duo has indeed created a brand perfect for me. The dainty neutrals paired with military greens and navy blues expressed a theme of nature meets army, which doesn't sound too appealing, but oh boy did it look good...

















The one thing about this fashion duo that the public can't quite figure out is why their label's name is en français.

Je ne sais quoi... maybe it just sounds better in French.
