Fashion Week Recap: our 10 favourite looks

Fashion week—the only time of year when it’s OK to judge a book by its cover—is over for another season. This season, we saw some impressive clothing from young designers (Amanda Lew Kee, Sunny Fong, Thomas and Chloé Comme Parris among them), a standout collection from Montreal’s Denis Gagnon, and ’70s-inspired looks from Pink Tartan. We lusted after Line’s knits and leathers, and considered wearing a black wedding dress at Romona Keveza. Holt Renfrew brought its favourite Canadian talent—including Toronto native Jeremy Laing—to the runway. We’ve compiled our favourite looks from these memorable fashion shows in this slide show.
