Kudos to the Toronto Star writer who aptly called the pyjamas in the Spring 14 collection for Joe Fresh, chinoiserie. Other publications chose descriptions that teeter on the edge of politically incorrect, but those shall not be named here. What I loved about the Joe Fresh runway: that metallic flared miniskirt, the diaphanous blouses; a little Chanel-esque cropped jacket; a Tiger print tee à la Kenzo; track star mesh and matching B-ball shorts. Of course, Marc Jacobs got a tip of the hat in the form of Shantung silk PJs – I almost expected Mimran to come out in a pair at the end of the show. As usual, there is the guessing game with Joe Fresh as to what will actually go into production – the question remains, will I find these pieces at my local grocery store or not?
