12 Truths About Toronto Fashion Week

Toronto Fashion Week kicks off on March 17 and we can expect to see the style elite heat up the city thanks to their fashionable garb which no doubt will set pulses racing (namely, ours).

With the likes of favourites such as Pink Tartan, Joe Fresh, VAWK and Mackage plus newcomers Outclass and Brit Wacher, the tents at Pecaut Square will be filled with fall/winter 2014 trends that aren't your average black coats, toques and scarves.

So, what actually goes underneath the White Top? If you have images of Anna Wintour mingling with Jennifer Lawrence, think again.

Although it's not New York, Milan, London or Paris, Toronto Fashion Week has its own unique highs and lows. Just the way we like it.
