In this special series, up-and-coming model Hayley McKee reports on her Toronto Fashion Week adventures.

11:30 a.m.
At my agency What a week! I can’t believe today was the last day….I wish every week could be Fashion Week! But what better way to start the last day than with a glimpse into the next step in my career? I had a go-see with IMG NY this morning and it was so great to start thinking about travelling next year—not that I haven’t thought about it for months now! I just have to wait for Bootcamp 2 Bigtime this summer and then I can travel around the world. It’s all happening so fast—I can’t believe it! After a nice coffee outside, enjoying the beautiful day, I was off to the tents for the Joeffer Caoc show!
3:30 p.m.
At the tents I went right into hair and makeup for the Joeffer Caoc show. I did this show last season and it was so great to see how far I’ve come since then! After the show, I was rushed quickly into hair and makeup for Rad Hourani with only minutes to spare before we had to go backstage. AH!
7:30 p.m.
RAD by Rad Hourani show After a long rehearsal to perfect the finale, the show was ready to begin. It started late but when is fashion ever on time

As I lined up, I realized that I was closing the show. I walked out towards the cameras, alone on the runway. I turned and the shadow of my silhouette was cast across the huge screen as the lights dimmed.
