For both the designers and the spectators, fashion week’s opening night is all about making a statement—and we found 14 fashion favourites in the crowd who did just that. We saw novelty contact lenses, animal prints, fantastic fur and, of course , frosty blue lips. Check out the gallery below for the top dressers from among the opening night attendees.
62213 We love the impact of Cohon's scarf against the various tans on display.

62214 In a basic grey minidress, Sovani is looking kind of Wang-y (as in, Alexander). We love the ladylike pearl necklace acting in contrast to the athletic-wear vibe of the dress. Rejoice! Something good has come out of the MTV family.

62215 Seen here wearing her own designs, Lew Kee is a talented designer. We love the hardcore detailing that trims a nubuck bodice, but we're overcome by ennui; see: frosty blues.

62216 She may be a Canadian in Paris now, but it seems even a short return trip to Toronto marks the return of apathy in photos. That said, we still love her model good looks and the print dress paired with a biker's jacket.

62217 Seems Miller is having her own corner gas. But seriously, we love the bling on her heels.

62218 We love the loosely knotted belt and the mid-'90s accessory, but the novelty contact lenses are like the girls at a party who instigate body shots. Just stay away.

62220 Penzo wears fur up to her neck at IZMA's runway show for haute furries.

62221 Perhaps inspired by Mattel's sponsorship or Grease's Pink Ladies, Kay sparkles in some sort of sequin or paillette. We're not sure why she chose white hosiery for the occasion, but she's Robin Kay and can do no wrong.

62222 Cocq caught our eye with her purple Birkin handbag. Every society type likely has one or 10, but we've never seen a purple one. Colour us impressed. Also, note the modest fur.

62223 With her wild style, Boyd always leads the pack at fashion week. At the Holt Renfrew show, she let out her inner animal with a big fur coat and some killer heels. Toronto's fashion scene isn't much of a jungle, but if it were, she'd likely be queen.

62224 Rogers used to have hair you could spot from the moon, but her shift to a loose ponytail looks very elegant. She's wearing Alexander McQueen (RIP), placing her among the flossiest and glossiest of Toronto proper.

Suzanne Rogers’ Alexander McQueen shoes are to die for!
