From sweeping dresses to polished outerwear, Day 3 of spring-summer collections at David Pecaut Square brought with an expanse of lines saturated in vivid colours and unique patterns.

Joe Fresh: The affordable apparel brand delivered a 60s twist to its extensive range of minimalist, modern sportswear to wrap up Day 3.

Joe Fresh drew inspiration from optical art evocative of the decade melded with futuristic patterns, colours and cuts.

The wide-ranging collection boasted clean lines and sleek silhouettes with a palette largely steeped in black and white with infusions of mustard yellow, eggshell and cobalt blues.

There were plenty of striking patterns in the mix, including horizontal stripes and geometric and digital prints.

Women’s apparel conjured elegance and chic with demure bow blouses, ruffled collared shirts and capes, along with sheath dresses and pleated skirts.

The brand took a boldly graphic turn with its menswear as well, which encompassed floral-printed shirts and check-print suited separates among more traditional blazers and pea coats.

It was hard to miss the blindingly bright metallics, with silver foil incorporated on everything from windbreakers to skirts and barely there briefs.

While the men stepped out in soft white loafers, the footwear offerings were more extensive for women, from chunky-heeled pumps to pointy heels with silver-capped tips or mesh detailing.

As has become standard for the brand, Joe Fresh enlisted a roster of high-profile models to take to the catwalk, including a trio of homegrown talents: Meghan Collison, Grace Mahary and Zoe Colivas.

Fashion legend Pat Cleveland, whose career dates back to the 70s modelling for fashion heavyweights like Halston, also took a turn on the Joe Fresh runway.

Cleveland opened the show and appeared again closer to the presentation’s conclusion, entertaining the audience during each walk with her unique, energetic strut.

Mackage: Against a backdrop of a brick wall setpiece, Mackage channelled the 80s and modern street style in its range of slick outerwear looks.

Co-creative directors and childhood friends Elisa Dahan and Eran Elfassy incorporated leathers and nylons in the line’s mix of moto jackets and vests, bombers, hooded windbreakers and trenches.

There were apparel offerings in the mix, with leggings, pencil skirts, shorts and halter crop tops fashioned from leather.

The retro touches reminiscent of 80s style were plentiful, from the pops of neon yellow colouring cuffs to the brassy exposed zippers and buckles. The palette was more muted with sand, light grey and mint hues interspersed among darker shades of black and reddish-brown.

Canadian supermodel Irina Lazareanu, who has walked for the likes of Burberry and Chanel, opened and closed the show.

Korhani Home: The Canadian home decor brand brought their unique spin on carpet couture to the runway with an eclectic showcase which included live parrots as part of the colourful presentation.

Helmed by creative director Kirsten Korhani, all the runway looks are crafted from Korhani Home’s carpets and home accessories.

Opening the showcase was a dramatic flared-hem gown featuring criss-cross satin lacing fused with a rich gold-and-burgundy printed carpet.

From there, the looks spanned time and locales, from flirty, flapper-inspired style steeped in pale mint and grey shades from the 20s, to sophisticated bustier dresses, coats and capes encompassing vibrant shades of red and pink teamed with black.

An extensive array of tropical prints, from birds to bananas, were made from reversible plastic rugs which were crafted into contemporary garments ranging from structured dresses to high-waisted pants and bustiers.

Further encapsulating the tropical theme of the vignette was the appearance of two live parrots resting in the hands of models as they made their runway walk.
