Over the course of Toronto Fashion Week (plus two days of pre-Fashion Week presentations from The Shows ), Toronto’s runway watchers took in hundreds of designs from emerging young expats like Tanya Taylor and Steven Tai and mega-brands like Joe Fresh and Mackage. We sifted through the multitude of garments and chose our favourites—12 looks that are memorable, wearable and beautiful.
200247 The layered perfection of this winter white look stood out among some great metallic and leather pieces this season at Line Knitwear<br />
