It felt like Canada Day on the runway at Reva Mivasagar's show.

The designer with a worldly background -- the native of Singapore, educated in London, spent time in Australia -- was inspired by the city of Toronto for his Urban Nomad collection.

The fabric of collection drew from Canadian culture including First Nations art. The collection was revealed in various stories including "Totem Story" and "Tree of Life Story" and "Inuit Owl Story".

Though each was unique, ruffles, string fastening and full shoulders echoed through the pieces.

The mostly silk fabrics included fluttering organza and flowing chiffon. His state of frock is a decidedly amazing place to visit.
