Let the fringe-fest begin! This weekend, the stylish (and the not so stylish) flocked to Indio, California for the first in a two-week installment of Coachella 2012. With the likes of Radiohead, Pulp, Azealia Banks and Feist rocking the stage, and celebs like Katy Perry, Rihanna, Kate Bosworth and Diane Kruger boozing on the sidelines, style spotting amidst the madness was on the agenda for Toronto-based Amy Wood who snapped some of the fest’s best dressed for us. Stay tuned for a new installment next week from the second weekend of festivities!

While the days of Canadian conscription have long since passed, it seems that we’ll never tire of the military as sartorial inspiration. From the structured wool double breaster to the loose cotton fatigue cargo jacket, soldier uniforms have reappeared each and every season on runways and in-store for as long as we can remember. Last week, they were once again ablaze on the Toronto streets. Check out the many reinterpretations from Yorkville to Kensington Market and beyond.

Last night, our boy Lewis Mirrett was treated to the paparazzi treatment, when a security guard booted him off the Ritz Carlton property. “But I’m just trying to photograph the clothes!” he protested, but alas, the clearly un-fashioned gent didn’t get it. (As if you haven’t heard of Tommy Ton!) Ever the trooper, he still managed to turn out some pretty wicked shots from between the bushes. Check ’em out.

As the official Worldwide MasterCard Fashion Week came to a close on Friday, the fashion folk were busy taking in the unseasonable sun rays outside the tents wearing, you guessed it, mixed prints. While the same impressive Navajo and striped combos continued their reign, our favourite was the above mix of floral platforms and galaxy-printed tights. Bravo, whoever you are! Check out today’s snap-age, and stay tuned for more from today and tomorrow’s action via the shOws.

While we’ve been busy with all things Canadian fashion for the last few weeks, our friends south of the border have been living it up in the Austin sun for the two-week-long South by Southwest (SXSW) film, interactive, and music festival. While everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Jay-Z (!!!) to Sleigh Bells took to the stage, the stylin’ gals filled out the parties and the crowds in full force, including one Miss Alexa Chung, whom we snapped at the Spin magazine party in a rad metallic skirt, and two of the most babe-ular musicians, Margaux & Charly (they play violin and viola respectively), on bikes. Toronto-born and currently Austin-based writer and all around cool chick Lia Parsley was there to catch all the fashion action. And here, we bring you the best snaps!

“Mix master! Cut faster!” is what we’re singing right now. Just look how well leopard, stripes, florals, and Navajo have been spliced by yesterday’s most stylish Toronto Fashion week attendees. Being Friday and all, that’s really all we have to say, but these delicious images really do speak for themselves. Happy viewing!

Looks like everybody was thinking the same thing when they got dressed for the shows yesterday, as Toronto’s finest stepped out in some of the juiciest brights we’ve seen all season! (And by season, we mean the unseasonably warm few days we’ve been having). There was tons o’ tangerine and even pastel It bags, from Céline to Prada and beyond! Take a look at our best shots and get inspired to brighten it up yourself.

The heavens certainly behaved themselves for the second day of Toronto Fashion Week, allowing attendees to show off their no doubt newly purchased (or borrowed) spring styles sans typically cumbersome March outerwear. There was Ainsley Kerr, in a mega-printed dress from the Chloé Comme Parris spring collection, Amanda Lew Kee in her printed T-shirt, and our very own Bernadette Morra, who debuted a look from Martin Lim‘s latest collection. And what about that dude in the neon? That’s our camera genius stepping out to play. Hi Lewis!

We’re back to the style-spotting game with Lewis Mirrett’s first batch of shots from outside Toronto Fashion Week. Taken outside of two of last night’s biggest shows, Lucian Matis and Holt Renfrew’s Canadian showcase. As luck would have it, the skies opened for the night, leaving attendees to shield themselves from the elements in various ways. From headscarves to uncomfortable glances, see the best cover-ups (and outfits) here.
