The Collections / Sid Neigum #Spring2013

Can we talk for a moment about Sid Neigum? I know I rarely shut up about this incredible Canadian designer; but for good reason, I assure you. Taking a step outside of Fashion Week this Season, Neigum presented his soft and statuesque Spring 2013 Collection at The Collections. We were already up in arms at the ShOws over Braganza and Laing, and Neigum's showcase in no exception to the awesome.

Clean, sharp, and pattern-less were an interesting departure from collections we've seen recently this Season. As opposed to the textural and hard-cut shapes many designers were belting out for Spring; Neigum's take seems to rely more on the shape of the silhouette as a whole, allowing the natural texture of the fabric to play a much larger role. We are left with a sophisticated nakedness that is far less loud then what we've seen recently, yet just as powerful. Mmm, and it's good.

Sid Neigum Appreciation Day

We all know the amazing Sid Neigum - fresh, Canadian talent, TFI 2012 Winner, young visionary - has a permanent place in my heart. It's designers like him, from our part of the world, that are creating more than simple Fashion; they are Fashion. On days off like this I do little else than gawk over beautiful things, so here's one more; still relevant and still seasonal.

Nihilism


In related news, according to the Official Facebook Page, Sid Neigum Spring 2013 is on sale. Oh, if only it could be me buying those incredible pieces! Or, really, even just to see them. So, why not have a gander?

Toronto Fashion Incubator Celebrates Sid Neigum!

Fantastic news for yet another young, talented, visionary Canadian designer! Sid Neigum has just been awarded Toronto Fashion Incubator's greatest honour, their New Labels Grand Prize Award! $25,000 in cash from Suzanne Rogers herself to expand his empire, a feature in FLARE Magazine, and his very own design studio space at TFI headquarters! (in partnership with TNT Boutique).


This is a huge prize and an incredible honour that was gifted to the awe-struck Neigum during TFI's 25th Anniversary Gala at the ROM just last week. We spoke about it here.

Hailing from Edmonton and based in New York, Neigum is known for playing with unusual shapes and creating new silhouettes for the modern man as well as the modern woman; often manifesting in interesting, androgynous designs that challenge consumerism in marketable, ready-to-wear ways. Neigum is imaginative and often dark, and his collections have been consistently adored and praised during Toronto Fashion Weeks past and present since his early days as a designer. In my personal opinion, he is one of Canada's greatest young talents; on a similar level to other notable, growing successes like Adrian Wu, Jeremy Laing, and Sunny Fong.



Making waves and a huge impact during Fashion Week, Neigum has already started to maintain stock lists in New York and Hong Kong. With this new, incredible award behind him; Neigum's presence and brilliant work can only go higher and further; it is well-deserved! Congratulations!
