Toronto’s Best Dressed: Innovators’ Ball, April 30, 10:07 p.m.
Who: Alexandra Weston and Suzanne Cohon, principals of ASC PR and professional socialites
You’re both wearing Greta Constantine. Plan or coincidence?
SC: Not planned. I was deciding between this and an Andy Thê-Anh until the last minute.
AW: I’m always pretty last minute. I was going between two as well. This isn’t supposed to be a maternity dress, but there was lots of room for the belly.
What’s so special about Greta C?
AW: They make you feel gorgeous, even at nine months pregnant.
Any style tips for the baby bump set?
AW: Keep it simple. Oh, and the BellaBand was definitely my best friend.
Your firm handles a lot of local design talent. Is there an international designer you’d love to work with?
AW: I’m happy working with Canadian talent, helping to build their brands.
SC: I love Nina Ricci. Olivier Theyskens is a genius.
Speaking of genius, Suzanne, your dress seems to be defying gravity. How are you avoiding a Janet-Jackson-at-the-Super-Bowl disaster?
SC: I’m being very cautious when I move.
No double-sided tape?
SC: I couldn’t. You could see it through the material.
