What I Wore: a long, layered look with a pair of awesome shoes from Aldo

By

When a piece of fashion goes viral (especially when it involves a collaboration) everyone is like, “I need it now,” and I am no exception. Exhibit A: a pair of oxblood shooties (that’s a shoe with a side of bootie to you) designed by Flare Magazine’s Fashion Director, Elizabeth Cabral, for Aldo. I mean, what is there to say about these things? They are a-ma-zing.

The Fashion Week Diaries: Holt Renfrew, Pink Tartan

With last week’s so-called rogue fashion collections packed up and away, this week marks the city’s official Fashion Week. As per usual, the kick-off show arrived from Holt Renfrew, which always manages to draw a lively crowd with plenty of bold-faced names spilling out from its midst.

Kid Icarus may be known as Kensington Market’s under-the-radar stationery and print shop, but with its recent move, the “under-the-radar” part may be scratched out.

Although Toronto Fashion Week officially rears its head next week, the so-called Rogue Fashion Week is now upon us. This time around, powerhouse IMG has purchased the rights to our official Week. A number of young designers involved with The Fashion Collective have decamped, choosing to put on their own series of shows — dubbed The Collections — at the Burroughes Building. Laura Siegel kicked off the series of spring/summer 2013 collections.

What I Wore: a pre-Fashion Week outfit with Ann Taylor, Tom Ford and Blackbird

Toronto’s Fashion Week starts on Monday, but with the amount of off-schedule shows and presentations taking place already, it’s safe to say that Fashion Week has extended itself into a full two weeks. That’s two weeks of extra-long days and fashion madness at its finest. But mainly, it’s two weeks full of wondering how to get dressed fabulously in the shortest amount of time possible.
