Fashion month may have finally wrapped, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to forget about the trends that emerged for Fall 2013 on the many runways of New York, London, Milan, Paris and Toronto—In fact, it’s time for them to take front and centre. While shoppers everywhere are snapping up the best of the selling floor’s offerings for spring and summer, designers, buyers and editors alike are busy prepping ahead. And since we know y’all like to keep ahead of the curve, we’ve sorted through hundreds of photos and selected 10 of the top Fall 2013 trends so that you can mentally prep (and save) too!

Next season, it’s all about fur, which landed in both faux and real on runways including Marni, JW Anderson, and most strikingly at Fendi, where it was combined in a dizzying multitude of punky ways. The 1990s were back for another resurgence, continuing Spring 2013’s grunge trend at Saint Laurent in Paris and Chloé Comme Parris right here at home. On the street, the look was easily created by many fashion week attendees who layered plaids on waists, under jackets and even on tights. And while practically speaking, it may be no major surprise that outerwear was one of the top Fall 2013 trends, this show season we saw jackets take on new forms with quilting, oversized shapes and bold colours which were mirrored outside the shows, with equally interesting choices hitting the pavement

Here are 100 images to help jog your memory of the top Fall 2013 trends spotted inside and outside of the fashion week stents, so sit back, click through, and relive the fashion month in all its street style and runway glory.

Anita Clarke Toronto Fashion Week Spring 2013 Street Style

We’ve surpassed the halfway point in Toronto’s World Mastercard Fashion Week Spring 2013 (that’s a mouthful) and the awesome street style photos shot by Stefania Yarhi just keep rolling in. Today’s edition of photos is furr-ocious (sorry, we had to) because everyone decided to go all out in fur. We saw hats, scarves, vests, and more, you name it, it was there in fur.

Humpday of Fashion Week featured some of the biggest shows from leather lovers, Mackage to the nation’s favourite, Joe Fresh—which brought out some of Toronto’s fashion it gals. Anita Clarke of I Want I Got, wore a flannel printed blazer and Jaclyn Genovese of Jacflash matched her flannel dress with a leather moto jacket (the moto jacket has become a favourite of Spring 2013 Fashion Week).

Holt Renfrew celebrates 175 years with specially-designed pieces from Christian Louboutin, Bobbi Brown, Michael Kors and a special appearance by Elton John!

See all the anniversary pieces! »

We might as well pitch a tent and set up camp outside Holt Renfrew’s sleek Bloor Street entrance, because come September, it will be the place to be. Not only is Holt’s taking part in Fashion’s Night Out festivities September 6 (stay tuned for details!), but the store is also ringing in it’s monumental 175th birthday. In true Holt’s fashion, the Hot @175 anniversary will be rung in in style, with a slew of designer collaborations for sale in (what else?) signature magenta.

From its start in 1837 as a hat and cap shop in Quebec City to the go-to luxury mecca it is today, Holt’s has undeniably had a starring role in Canada’s retail legacy. To fête the occasion, everything from high-fashion designs like Christian Louboutin’s magenta-platform sling backs to fun finds like Pantone’s “Holt Renfrew Magenta” notebook will prove that even at 175, Holt’s still has it.

With a white winter backdrop and the sound of wind blowing to set the mood, designer Ilan Elfassy (brother of the designing duo behind Mackage) presented a pitch-perfect crop of Soïa & Kyo coats ripe for the Canadian winter. Well, maybe not this winter, but you get the picture. The mainly neutral outerwear palette was accented with a few bolder choices in red or mustard, a particularly covetable one worn on the runway by one of our home-grown model loves, Herieth Paul. Casual on the whole, the selection did prove its sleek factor with versatile numbers that belted from inside.

Like it or not, Toronto Fashion Week is here, and it’s here for the next three weeks. From now until March 19, prepare to be inundated with all the fabulousness (and sometimes the unfabulousness) from the shows.

First up, we’re reporting from last night’s Mackage show. In celebration of the brand’s 10th anniversary, founders Elisa Dahan and Eran Elfassy brought the circus to the Fermenting Cellar in the city’s Distillery District. Special guest stars Heather Marks and Rick Genest (a.k.a. Zombie Boy) opened and closed the show respectively. Complete with snow cones, cotton-candy cocktails, scantily clad servers, and fortune-tellers, all the hullaballoo was memorable—but perhaps unnecessary—when paired with the brand’s stellar collection of leather and wool–mix coats and jackets, tailored-to-perfection secretary dresses, and multi-zipped moto jackets.
