Walking into Kathryn Bowen‘s second floor Toronto studio, I instantly forget that a) the city is cleaning up after a massive freak snowstorm (it’s mid-April at the time of our meeting) and b) that Bowen is an emerging designer.

The Room at Hudson’s Bay went full Anglo on Tuesday night with its celebration of two Brit shoe designers, Nicholas Kirkwood and Sophia Webster. Held in the store’s palatial new shoe department (seriously, it’s 20,000 square feet), the soiree served as a shoe shopping kick off as well as, well, just another excuse to party. Toronto’s style setters were in fine pre-fashion week form, pulling out all the outfit stops and the Nicholas Kirkwood chevrons to boot.

Kim Tanenbaum modelled her mother-in-law Carole Tanenbaum’s jewels just perfectly overtop an all-black outfit and Kirkwood’s wholesale director Josephine Papasavvas brought the party’s requisite Peter Pilotto factor alongside a stomach-bearing crop top. West end cred was sufficiently represented by Prince Innocence’s Talvi Faustmann and Josh McIntyre, who matched in long black trench coats. Hair statementing was a thing too, especially for a certain top-knotted shoe associate who delighted us with his kabuki-like appearance and definitive newness on the scene. You go girl.

Falling in love with the right woman coaxed Josh McIntyre out of the shadows and onto a stage. With Little Girls—the cheeky name he chose for his post-punk solo project—the Toronto-based musician tried to take himself out of the picture: He muffled his vocals, buried them in the mix and obscured his face in photos. But when he began to collaborate with his girlfriend, Talvi Faustmann, on the icy electronic songs that became Prince Innocence’s repertoire, the two decided to put everything out there.

“With Little Girls, it was like I was trying to make it as far removed from myself as possible,” McIntyre says from Faustmann’s home in Montreal. “With Prince Innocence, it’s more upfront.”

“This band has a lot more sincerity to it,” adds Faustmann. “It’s kind of scary for both of us, because there’s nothing really to hide behind.”
