LG Fashion Week is a big deal here in Toronto, and this year for the closing gala show Hoax Couture (one of Canada’s oldest and most prestigious fashion houses) got together with the Stephen Lewis Foundation to raise money for those suffering with AIDS in Africa.
25 of Canada’s top fashion designers created 25 couture pieces from fabric found in Africa. The support for this event was huge and many of Canada’s biggest names turned out to lend a hand including Brian Bailey who’s so great… like, he could give you the worst news ever and you’d still wanna hug him.
Via Rail’s new uniforms are looking good eh. And it was funny to run into my hairdresser Brennen Demelo even though I shouldn’t have been surprised at all he was in charge of all the hair.
The models in the show were real people, in order of appearance:
– a nice model
– major CDN R&B singer Jully Black
– Jessi Cruickshank from MTV Canada
– MP Olivia Chow
– Traci Melchor from eTalk, wearing Hoax’s creation
… looking great, ladies!
Hi Miss Model (and Brennen)! More please. Fun – I always enjoy the craziness backstage. "Please, please clear the runway…" too funny. He just doesn’t understand ;) p.s. Nice fringe job.
Please. Please. Please leave the catwalk… FUNNY! Keri, you should have kept strutting until they dragged you off. It was nice to see Traci Melchor! Last time I saw her was about 14 years ago at Citytv… as beautiful as ever.

Thanks Suzy, not gonna lie, I got a kick outta that.
Haha Greg, like I said above the "please please" made me smirk.
And yup, when Traci came out the crowd inhaled loudly; she killed it.
