CHRISTOPHER BATES TO PREMIERE FALL/WINTER 2018 COLLECTION WITH TORONTO FASHION WEEK

Christopher Bates, a renowned and highly respected Canadian menswear designer, will premiere his Fall/Winter 2018 ready-to-wear collection to the crowds at Toronto Fashion Week in Yorkville Village (55 Avenue Rd.) on Monday Feb. 5, 2018, at 9PM.

The Fall/Winter 2018 collection is a marriage between formal and tech-sport with influences from alpine ski style and traditional military wear. Each piece tells a story through colour, featuring traditional fall shades including slate gray, rich navy and black. Additionally, the collection keeps classically Canadian colours in mind with bold pops of military green, hazard yellow and Canadian red.

"I am confident this is one of my strongest collections to date,” states Christopher Bates, Designer and Creative Director. “I'm proud to have produced every piece in Italy using beautiful materials and local artisanal producers, while keeping true to my heritage with Canadian culture and influence in mind.”

The Fall/Winter 2018 collection is made for the modern sartorial gentleman and incorporates an air of European luxury to classic everyday wardrobe. Highlights from the collection include textured wool suits, colour blocked Merino wool sweaters, down bombers and technical flannel pants, among others.

“We’re delighted to welcome Christopher Bates home to the Toronto Fashion Week stage,” says Carolyn Quinn, Executive Director, Toronto Fashion Week. “To see a talented Canadian designer like Christopher, gain international success is inspiring. His vision for contemporary menswear continues to impress us and we’re excited to see what new designs he has in store for this season.”
