    By Jennifer Toole in Attractions
    Your average fashion show will last about twenty minutes. It’s all fine and dandy to drool over the luscious models in the yet-to-hit-the-stores ready to wear, but the real juice is in the front row. We’ll be watching out for exceptional personal fashion statements whether they be exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. We hope to make style stars and slobs out of Toronto’s fashion elite. Nix that. We hope to help Toronto bolster a fashion elite. If you wear a full-body multi-hued knit jumpsuit with fro-ed out hair and wedge heels we’ll make you into a style star. Lulu Lemon or hippy skirts = Style Slob. You've been warned.



    ASHLEY ROWE (right): FASHION DESIGNER


    LAST SEEN AT: MISS ROWE

    Ashley Rowe lines all of her clothes in 100% silk. Both ladies are decked out in her Fall debut called "black". These are the kind of clothes women will happily submit a paycheck to. It's tough to put a price tag luxury when you're swimming around in skin-skimming silk. The great thing is, nobody has to know but you.



    KEVIN NARAINE: SALES ASSOCIATE @ HUGO BOSS


    LAST SEEN AT: ANDY THÉ-ANH

    This man quite obviously took notes at the Bustle show the night before. He pulls of a decent reincarnation of the mismatched three-piece. With a whole closet of Hugo at his disposal this look couldn't have been too tough to put together.



    CHRISTINA THÉ: MODEL

    LAST SEEN AT: ANDY THÉ-ANH

    Definitely the most prominent face on the runway and perhaps the most memorable, Christina knows how to work it. Her high-set cheek bones and sultry eyes make her one of Elmer Olsen's favourites. Among younger, less experienced girls Christina's confidence never wavers which gives her viewers ample room to check out the clothes she dons. Granted her fashion choice here is pretty lame but she's just plain pretty so we'll forgive.



    CEDRIC GASAIDA: SCOTIA BANK CUSTOMER SERVICE


    LAST SEEN AT: PRELOVED

    This Rwandan native shone through the crowd of style lesser-thans in his tribute to Canadian fashion: the plaid overcoat. Honey, you look way too good be a banker, but you may force me to switch branches.



    AURORA JAMES: ALTERNATIVE FASHION WEEK PR


    LAST SEEN AT: EVAN & DEAN

    Alternative fashion is right. Not everyone can pull off construction socks with heels, but damn girl, you've got it going on.



    FRANCESCA MILLER: FASHION STUDENT


    LAST SEEN AT: LEWD

    Francesca is my hero. Orange leather high-waisted wide-leg pants with a fat belt and a full-length fur? Fabulous.



    DARRYL NATALE: SWEET STYLE PHOTOGRAPHER


    LAST SEEN AT: MELLINDA-MAE HARLINGTEN

    I do appreciate a good bow tie every once and a while, but Darryl has taken his geek chic look a bit too far with the two-sizes-too-small skinny jeans. He is a self-proclaimed sweet style photographer who stood out from the crowd at the MMH show Monday afternoon. I applaud his efforts to bring Mr. Bean back.

    Evan & Dean blew the Bustle show out of the WATER…Literally. Stacey Mckenzie…what is she 40 now? And for all the model critics…take your ugly asses up there and walk the cat walk if you think you can sell the looks. I think the models did great! Bravo!

    Am I the only one who thought the Joe Fresh show was fairly lame? Especially with being the opener. I think I can manage that with the sheets I have.
