Toronto Fashion Week was a whirl of activity and we couldn't go without crowning a Woman of Style at the end of it all!
W: Other Canadian designers you admire/wear?
IC: I really love the colours and cuts of Jason Meyers. Carlie Wong will be designing my Gemini dress. This year in particular she's got a Madame Butterfly twist to her classic gowns that is stunning. Jaw-dropping.
I have to say Lucian (pictured at left with Inga at the Holt Renfrew Media Cocktail) is such an architect. His clothes always make me think, "Wow, how did you come up with that?" He's inventive, raw, real and romantic...I appreciate what he does. Overall, this was for sure one of my favourite fashion weeks! Happy to see such a strong Canadian contingent...I was proud.
W: What's your projected Spring 2010 favourite accessory?
IC: I'm already into these great clutches by eenamaria. [Designer] Sarah Morgan is a friend of mine from Toronto, but now she's based in NYC. Her bags are very 60s with a spin...I freaked out when she sent me some of her clutches to use during fashion week, and I'll definitely be pairing them with outfits well into the spring!
W: Of all the celebs that the media turn into fashion "It" girls, who do you think has a the best grasp on style?
IC: For me, it's a toss up between Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. The 60s mod look appeals to me, and those girls keep it fresh and current. They both really have a hold on fashion and their own personal style.
Those best and worst lists bother me as often the people who are the "worst" are just trying something unique and it's way more interesting to me.
No doubt we'll see this rising star on many a red carpet in the future!
Cadranel is also starting to gear up for the debut of her new show The Bridge in which she plays Jill, a detective with attitude who's moving up the ranks of a fictitious Canadian police department. Originally shot by CTV, the series was recently picked up by CBS as part of their must-see TV lineup and will premiere on both networks in January/February 2010.
With dozens of big and small screen rolls - including the upcoming thriller Killshot and hit series like The Eleventh Hour, Leap Years, Relic Hunter and ReGenesis - Inga has also worked with some of Hollywood's leading actors and actresses. To date, she counts Diane Lane, Mickey Rourke, Donald Sutherland and John Heard as some of her co-stars. Definitely one to watch!

| About the author: | |
When Malcolm Gladwell talks about “connectors,” he’s talking about Sara Graham. This gal-about-town made her mark spending five years in (and out) of publishing as Editor-in-Chief of Canada’s top teen magazines Vervegirl and FUEL. During the out part she created, designed and managed all aspects of Sister Underwear – a collection that was not only embraced by the Canadian fashion network of buyers, media and the public, but enjoyed repeat orders from boutiques located in the U.S. Although no longer deep in the publishing or fashion trenches, Sara remains curious and connected via her insatiable appetite for culture and travel. Sara also continues to produce fashion shoots through Project, her brand management company. |
