THE BRUNETTES started off
day five of World MasterCard Toronto Fashion Week with a little handshaking and
business card swapping with other industry insiders at a speed-networking
event, which was organized by Fashion Takes Action and FGI Toronto.
After learning about and making connections with several
fascinating fashion entrepreneurs, THE BRUNETTES took in the day’s runway
presentations. These included edgier shows from labels TRAVIS TADDEO and UNTTLD,
a fairytale-like wedding dress showcase from designer Bruce Dang for Paraezo Couture, ‘Project Runway Canada’s’ winning designer Sunny Fong’s latest wares
from his VAWK line, and more commercial shows from EXPRESS and Allistyle. Canadian supermodel Jessica Stam kicked off the EXPRESS show, while Whitney Thompson
of ‘America’s Next Top Model’ fame opened for the Allistyle runway.
THE BRUNETTES talked fashion and parties with UNTTLD’s
designer duo, José Manuel St-Jacques and Simon Bélanger, after their stunning
Spring/Summer 2013 presentation and posed for a pic with Canada’s fashion
authority, Jeanne Beker, after taking in the
EXPRESS Spring/Summer 2013 closing show.
But, before the week could
officially come to an end there was still the EXPRESS after party to attend.
Highlights of the party included food and drink, mingling with models, EXPRESS
clothing giveaways from a pop-up shop set up in the venue, and a rocking
performance from Dragonette that had the whole room dancing until it was
time to hit an offsite after-after party.
