See the photo shoot images »
Examine Edie’s impact on trends »From her platinum blonde bob to her itty bitty mini dresses, everyone’s been exposed to the everlasting effects of perennial sixties It girl, Edie Sedgwick. Literally or loosely, her style has inspired countless collections, most recently for both Spring and Fall 2013. Last month, we set out to tribute the late fashion icon with a luxe and louche photo shoot masterminded by stylist Dwayne Kennedy. Shot by photographer Renata Kaveh at Toronto’s storied Windsor Arms hotel, the photo shoot depicts Bojana as a later-years-Edie strewn across couches and carpets in designer duds as we image she’d have been.

4 trends to try now: Take on fall’s equestrian, fun fur, leather and geometric trends with 29 perfect shopping picks
Jump to trend: FUN FUR | EQUESTRIAN | LEATHER | GEOMETRIC
If you’re ready for a mid-season wardrobe shakeup, we have four hot-on-the-runway trends to try. We’ve taken inspiration from some of our favourite Fall 2012 runways and made the looks ready for the streets. From geometric prints á la Prada paired with a classic pair of jeans to a tough leather jacket as seen at Gareth Pugh with a badass studded ring. We’re also into having some fun with fur and taking the pelts out of their natural hues and wearing bold orange vests like at Blumarine and green-cuffed gloves paired with a delicate watch to make the look a little bit more casual. And if wearing fur isn’t your jam, try looking like you’re riding a horse with some equestrian inspired gear from riding pants to classic knee high boots. Hop to it and get on board with some of our favourite looks for fall. We swear you’ll like it.

Toronto Fashion Week Spring 2013: Pat Cleveland launches a standout 55-look collection at Joe Fresh with envy-inducing ease
See the Joe Fresh Spring 2013 collection photos »
After a quick, swinging 1960s op-art themed projection set the tone, the tent at World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto erupted in genuine cheers, even hoots, as model legend Pat Cleveland minced down the runway in her sprightly half-dance, half-strut. In town to lend star power to the Canadian premiere of the documentary Versailles ’73, Cleveland stole the whole Joe Fresh shebang—it didn’t really matter what she was wearing. The army of other models (including Meghan Collison and Grace Mahary) showed off loads of things we’ll want to wear in ‘60s-mad Spring 2013: mini shift dresses, trapeze jackets, illusion dots and op-art prints in fabrics that are definitely of this century (neoprene, now a familiar Joe Fresh signature, perforated faux-leather, a fabric seemingly textured to resemble lizard skin). White, black, silver and sky blue were the only colours in the sky, with a small golden punctuation mark at the end in the form of a mixed metallic doily dress and foil painted denim—an update to fall’s waxed jeans we’re all obsessed with. Joe Fresh’s shoe designers came up with round-toed, white mesh heels, perforated pointy Mary-Janes and a chunky, pointed Céline-like pump, best in that baby blue. Pat Cleveland took her time leading and then falling behind her youthful colleagues in the finale, neither she nor we wanting her moment in the limelight to end.
