And with the change came some cool beauty looks: bold makeup, dark nails and soft, sophisticated hair.
"When it comes to creativity, Canadians are willing to step out of the box," says Jorge Joao, REDKEN artist and backstage lead hairstylist at Toronto Fashion Week 2012. He also says many of this year's designers have specific and creative thoughts on how they want their models to look.
"The devil is in the details. I don't care what you're wearing, if your nails are not done, you're a mess," says Essie Weingarten, founder of Essie Nail Polish.
