This past Monday, international It boy Joseph Altuzarra hit Toronto for a presentation of his gilded Spring 2014 collection. The term “It boy” might sound a little diminutive when it comes to Altuzarra’s talents, but suffice to say, he’s got the “it.” In just 5 years, the Parisian born and New York based designer has gone from one to watch to mainstay, with a recent investment by Kering (formerly PPR), one of fashion’s largest holding companies. In town for Lunch With Margaret and George, an annual charity fashion put on by Yorkville boutique George C show benefitting The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, Altuzarra sat down with us exclusively for a pre-show interview in the spiny Galleria Italia of the Art Gallery of Ontario. After discussing recent Vuitton news (“great for them!”) and how he spent his weekend in the city (visiting the Royal Winter Fair, omg) We got to chatting about the past, present and future for Altuzarra.

Designer Derek Lam was stuck in New York thanks to a Nor’easter that grounded many flights. But he was there in spirit at Toronto’s Shangri-La Hotel for the Lunch with Margaret and George fundraiser for the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. Some of the city’s most stylish donned the designer’s sleek white leathers for the occasion and hostess Lisa Corbo sparkled in Lam’s sequined deco shift. Models in 20 looks from the Spring 2013 Derek Lam collection wove through the tables, making for a yummy feast of boxy T-shirts in geometric guipure lace, a gold leather skirt whose panels seemed to be held together with black macramé and a silvery sweatshirt over a skirt of burgundy plastic curls. A cool $120,000 was raised for the cause, bolstered by another 15% of sales from the Derek Lam trunk show at George C later in the day. Adding more to the coffers? A gold-flecked lipgloss named “Believe,” conceived by Lisa Corbo.
