Day 2’s shows included Adrian Wu, who stayed very true to his “aesthetic” of art (more artsy this season so a little bit less weird) and had a live singer who sang music from 1960s films, DeMoyo (who had a lovely, warm weather-friendly collection filled with neutrals and crocheted pieces), Biddell (who had models walking […]
Toronto’s World MasterCard Fashion Week opened last night with its usual Holt Renfrew show.
