Yes, those high heels are made of chocolate. We ate macarons that were the exact same shade of pink as the frocks at Missoni. (This is how the magic happens, people)

Every season, after our style team returns from the international fashion shows, we get together to hash out the key trends and top moments from New York, London, Paris and Milan. This season, in the midst of Toronto Fashion Week, we stopped in at the DEQ lounge at the luxe Ritz-Carlton hotel for inspiration. One of our key findings? We wish we could have every meeting there!

Occupation: Model

Wearing: Evan Biddell dress and gloves with a Jana Bags clutch

On the dress: “This dress is from Evan’s new collection, I literally took it off the runway because I had to. I loved his collection he’s very in your face and wild and yet still can be avaunt-gard and refined where he could sell to the masses. I like that he has fun with fashion, I believe that fashion should be fun so why not run with it. Evan is a wild child and that’s why we click and I click with his clothing.”
