Perusing the designs on the runway is Toronto Fashion Week’s raison d’être—but ogling the socialites and celebs in the front row is often a lot more fun. This year, we rubbed shoulders with Suzanne Rogers and like-named social butterfly Suzanne Boyd, television personality Dan Levy, socialite Ainsley Kerr and a host of other actors, television personalities, fashion insiders and beautiful people. See them all in our gallery of the Fashion Week elite, spanning from early in the week (when everyone still had pep in their step) to the very last show on Friday night.
