Street Style: how do you look cool at a party packed with models and celebrities?
Street Style: how do you look cool at a party packed with models and celebrities?

It may have rained on the first night of Toronto Fashion Week, but that didn’t stop the fashionable people from converging on David Pecaut Square for Joe Fresh’s invite-only celebration. (The lucky few who managed to make it past the velvet rope were treated to a set from DJ—and reigning queen of avant garde—Solange Knowles.) So, how do you dress up for a party packed with models and style icons? Party-goers (and party hopefuls) generally erred on the conservative side, although we did spot a few outfits worthy of a Knowles sister—including Stacey McKenzie’s gold lamé gown and George Stroumboulopoulos’s style shout-out to East Coast/West Coast hip hop.

- <strong>Name:</strong> Stacey<br /><br /> “I dress myself. I scour the ends of the earth for new designers that I’d love to rock, and I’m a huge supporter of up-and-coming designers. You know, if I get my agent to ask them for clothing, they always think it’s a joke! But as soon I call them up personally, they know right away that it’s not a prank. Tonight I’m wearing Sid Neigum. I’m a big fan.”

- <strong>Name:</strong> George<br /> <br /> <strong>Age:</strong> 42<br /><br /> “I don’t care about fashion, only about style. I’ve been reading <em>Buttoned-Up,</em> from the guys behind fashion magazine <em>Fantastic Man.</em> It’s about London kids on the subway line who were poor...but they would still dress better than their bosses. It was a big screw-you to the establishment. You know, they may be richer, but you still have better ideas.”
