Mark your calendars fashion-friends and loved ones! It's that time again, Ottawa Fashion Week is fast-approaching and guess who's request for media accreditation was just approved?! You got it! It is us, Capital Oh, J and S, your "fave Ottawa girls" (to those who follow us on Twitter) who will be covering this exciting Capital event starting on September 28th. We promise to be thorough in our coverage and impeccably-dressed (obviously). Also! We'll be contributing to Carleton's Charlatan not only for this event, but regularly to the street style blog. On that note: Yo, significant population of Carleton students (you know who you are), maybe reconsider those track pants and Ugg boots you planned on wearing to class and try on a little self respect and a nice fall jacket? You can thank us later. Exciting!! - S

Dans La Rue: Ottawa Fashion Week-- Part 2

Once again these are LATE but Emily and Anastasiya (incredible designers), Brittney, the editors of LoveXpress magazine and Julia deserve recognition for their incroyable style.  

RACHEL SIN

Rachel Sin actually started in architecture before venturing into fashion. Her keen eye for design and structure are a perfect addition to her designs. With fun blazers, perfect dresses and leather accents, this collection was perfect to go from working girl to cocktail party chic. - J

Emily and Anastasiya

Emily and Anastasiya, which showed on Day Two of OFW, was probably one of my favourites of the weekend. Their modern take on 1920's flapper (complete with Turbans!! Which as you know, J and I OBSESS over) was gorgeous and fun. We met the designers on the final day of fashion week and they were super sweet as well. Congrats on your beautiful show, ladies! -S

ElizBourk

ElizBourke showed for the first time at Fashion Week this year, and it was a well done show. The pieces were all wearable and the giant scarves and hoods are perfect for these Ottawa winters. We look forward to seeing more ElizBourke in the future! - J
