What do you like about Toronto fashion week?

I’m trying to go for a little bit of an unconventional fall wardrobe. Trying to incorporate some florals and really pulling my pastels into the colder weather.”
Favourite thing you are wearing?
“I’m loving florals.”
What are you doing at the tents?
“I guess because I work such long hours that I don’t often get to really see a lot of the people in my field. It gives me a moment to connect with the people in my group. I come because I love to see what the city has to offer and what the designers are doing. I take that inspiration back to my shop and it inspires me in the way that I style vintage in my boutique.”
What do you like about Toronto fashion week?
“I love that there is such an intimacy in the Toronto community. I really get to know so many designers. So I get to support not just the grander creative fashion world in the city but also individuals. You know that when you buy one of their pieces or go to the show that it’s going to someone who you genuinely like and respect.”
Laura Shaddick, Manager of brand strategy at Holt Renfrew
What are you wearing and why?
“Vintage scarf, H&M sweater, skirt was my moms, Joe fresh booties, H&M trench, Alexander Wang purse. I was trying to mix textures and plaids and really channel cozy fall.”

“Here to see Laura Siegel show because we carry her collection at Holt Renfrew’s H Project. So we’re here to show our support and take a peek at spring line.”
What do you like about Toronto fashion week?
“I love that it’s local and that it supports Canadian. It’s really very innovative and even with someone like Laura Siegel you see the international influence of what Canadians are doing.”
What’s your favourite fall trend?
“The plaids! Definitely the plaids, hence my scarf.”
