Clement Virgo, Director He has a weighty list of directing credits (Lie With Me, The Wire, The L Word), but Virgo’s first job was in fashion as a window dresser for Harry Rosen. “I used to be very style-conscious,” he says. “I even got caught up with the Miami Vice look in the ’80s. Now I like simple basics—American Apparel T-shirts and pullovers.” As Damon D’Oliveira’s producing partner, Virgo has three films on the go and directs episodes of CTV’s hit The Listener. WEARING: John Varvatos jacket ($1,595 at Holt Renfrew); Morandi shoes ($298 at David’s); T-shirt and Carhartt jeans are his own.

Michèle Maheux, TIFF executive director Maheux, now working her 21st Toronto film fest, is arguably the busiest person in the city this month. Toronto labels Nada Designs and Zanesha Gowrali are favourites. WEARING: Lida Baday jacket ($880 at Holt Renfrew); Christian Louboutin shoes ($835 at David’s); pants and jewellery are her own.
