While this streeter opted for an all black ensemble (save her bag), we love the variety that the different textures bring to the look.

While Canadian designers and superstar models have been marching down the Toronto Fashion Week runways there has been a veritable style parade outside of the shows, too.

Coco Rocha swept into Toronto Fashion Week last night to give the opening remarks. (She’d already graced the Greta Constantine runway the previous week.) Though she later appeared–new husband James Conran in tow–in a green Greta frock, earlier in the evening she sported one of the season’s biggest trends–the Chewbacca-esque furry jacket–and paired it with cigarette jeans, black stiletto boots and a graphic tee.

We snapped this streeter at the Ezra Constantine garden party, where the shimmering gold and silver circles of her dress made us think the stars were coming out early.

We spotted this Lovely working the door at the Ezra Constantine launch and immediately had to know where she picked up this jumpsuit. Surprise answer: Jacob. This all-black ensemble further proves the timeless elegance of the “colour” black. It’s like she’s not even trying, it looks like she was born wearing this silky outfit, complete with subtle jewellery and bow-tied sandals. Well played.

If great minds think alike, then these friends with flair certainly had black and beige on the brain.  At first glance, I thought they were so matchy-matchy that they must have coordinated. When I looked a little closer, I realized that though the dresses are very similar, they’re still injecting individual touches.  Pearl studs, Chanel bag and gilded flats are surefire signs of a classics fan, while ombre frames, zipped up gladiators and a slouchy hobo spell up-to-the-minute style.

We spotted this week’s Lovely at last night’s Ezra Constantine launch. And while the mixed textures of her all-black outfit are anything but basic (check the little velvet bows on the shoes), it’s her necklace, which she made herself from leather and safety pins, that really makes this look sing. (Turns out she also helped craft the Ezra presentation’s mixed-media accessories.)

Looking young, yet professional is tough line to tread–especially in the sticky summer months when stockings and lots of layers aren’t an option. Our streeter pairs a playful shirtdress with mannish monk-strap shoes and an all-business blazer. It’s casual-Friday appropriate, but the short hemline keeps the look from veering into the doldrums.

Yorkville is always a mecca for street style in Toronto–when the sun is shining, stylish women come out in droves! Sweet and feminine, this week’s stunner layers delicate buttercup eyelet over a dainty floral in baby-soft shades. A wristful of made-them-at-camp bracelets and a cognac clutch finishes off a grown-up, but girlie outfit.

While last week’s look was all about finding that understated cool factor in the sweltering heat, this week is all about over-the-top glam. Resplendent in gleaming gold accents, our streeter has all the style (and hair) of disco queen Donna Summer. Her gold-edged glasses, glittering skirt, bejewelled belt and gilded sandals are way too fab for the subway platform!
