This past Friday, we celebrated the first ever FASHION Magazine Toronto Fashion Week Awards with an intimate cocktail party for a few hundred of the city’s bright and shining style stars. Honouring everything from budding talent (Cambridge-born Aussie-based designer Haley Elsaesser picked up the night’s Best Emerging Designer trophy) to overall presentation (Mikhael Kale returned to the official schedule with a stellar, detail-laden show), the party acted as the perfect end-of-the-week cap off, warm and fuzzy kudos to boot. Cocktails too.
In addition to the awards given out on Friday, we’re leaving the most important vote, best collection of the week, up to you. Vote your favourite designer over at our People’s Choice page and see a full list of winners below:
