Soia and Kyo Fall 2012

Shopping for jackets is always my favorite part about fall fashion. Canadian outerwear company, Soia and Kyo is stylish, wallet-friendly find.  Designer Ilan Elfassy showed the trendy collection at Toronto Fashion week with looks for men and women.

Their coats and jackets always have a sexy edge to them.  Signature details include big buttons and dramatic, asymmetrical collars. This collection stuck to basic colors of black, charcoal grey and camel.  Fur touches on hats, collars and hoods were on trend for this season.

As a Toronto raised gal, this label is exactly what I would want.  Cozy, cool weather appropriate looks for the Canadian climate, but cosmopolitan chic for the country's fashion capital.  The luxury market is a smaller one here, so Soia & Kyo's affordable price point has made it a popular choice north and south of the border.
