TORONTO – Joeffer Caoc brought his penchant for glam to the playing field with an athletic-inspired range of designs at Toronto’s LG Fashion Week on Tuesday.
Past collections from the womenswear designer have largely focused on his sleek evening looks befitting a night on the town. Yet Caoc opted to embrace a decidedly more casual esthetic in his spring-summer 2012 line.

Stylish sportswear-tinged touches were present in the creations, which incorporated bright orange and fuchsia alongside powdery pastels on a base of creamy white and neutral hues.
Racerback-style dresses, fluid tanks, track shorts, jersey pants and hoodies featured subtle embellishments like miniaturized mesh panelling or more pronounced racing stripes along pant legs and contrast-coloured trims encircling collars. But the glam was in full force with slightly bolder offerings giving metallics time to shine.
Some eye-popping looks weren’t suitable for those who wish to recede in the background: black athletic mesh pants and jackets affixed atop shimmering gold lining, slick silver briefs and an iridescent silver romper.
For the slightly less adventurous, there were plenty of classic offerings to close out the show, including tailored jackets in tweed and seersucker, layered silk tulle tops and chic slim-fitting sequinned dresses.
