Pop quiz, Toronto Fashion Week: We ambush the models, designers and style mavens on the street!
For a few days every six months, Toronto’s brightest fashion talents and most enthusiastic onlookers descend upon David Pecault Square for World MasterCard Fashion Week. And then with one ceremonious poof, they’re gone. This season, we’re setting out to capture the one-week-only burst of energy by ambushing 5 of the people who help make it happen, from the gatekeepers aka. public relations mavens to the designers to the models to the backstage artists and more.
