There are fashion designers and then there are people who know the fashion business (occasionally you will find someone who excels in both disciples). Many of the 'designers' I meet in Toronto who are actually making money in the field know the business - and not necessarily fashion but business in general. This is why it is not overly surprising to learn that leading luxury retailer Holt

Apparently, July 31 to August 4, 2008 there will be a Urban Fashion Week thing happening in Toronto which conveniently coincides with the Caribana Festival.

But Hermes does not make flip flops and the ones that are out there are simply not acceptable. From queers in the Village to the ginos and 905’rs at Circa - people in Toronto are universally

This year's 2008 Pride weekend, although tame by comparisons to the previous ones I've attended, still brought out some sexy and fashionable eye candy.
